How to choose the right Gym Lockers Or Sports Lockers

What's your budget?

Although aesthetics, materials, and locking systems are all essential considerations for gym lockers and sports lockers, every decision is defined by your budget. It’s crucial to know how much you have to spend and how to use it effectively to meet or closely match your needs. Lockers are an essential aspect of gym and sports facilities and are built to last. They’re an investment! With this in mind, it’s beneficial to find suppliers that offer a range of lockers, ensuring you have options without going over budget.

A secure locking mechanism

You can’t have a locker without a lock. Well, you can, but it wouldn’t be very safe. When considering which gym lockers or sports lockers are best suited, people often focus on functionality and aesthetics, but the lock is the aspect that provides peace of mind. Premier Lockers offers a range of gym lockers and sports lockers in several shapes and sizes, with padlocks and simple key-locking mechanisms. Whether you’re storing everyday belongings and sweaty gym gear or more expensive items like laptops, our lockers will keep your stuff safe.

Aesthetic

A gym’s aesthetic says a lot about your brand’s identity and positioning, and your choice of lockers is a significant part of that. People go to the gym to workout and socialise, but they also spend time in the locker room. What does your locker room tell customers about your brand? Everything from size, shape, features, and colour will shape their perception. Aesthetically, colour is often essential for gyms to stay on brand and provide a more immersive customer experience. To accommodate this, we have plastic lockers in a wide range of colours, helping to align with your company’s colour, branding and aesthetic design.

Consider locker sizes and your environment

Gym lockers or sports lockers can take up a lot of floor space and often define a room’s shape and flow. A common problem our client’s face is establishing how much locker space you need. You don’t want to waste space with oversized lockers, but you must ensure customers have enough space to store their belongings safely. As a rule of thumb, too much is better than too little, but it’s key to understand your customers’ needs before you purchase. Additionally, think about the surroundings. Gym lockers or sports lockers can experience a fair amount of wear and tear, often being bumped into or having doors slammed. If so, durability should be a priority to maintain their aesthetic and functionality. The same can be said for prioritising style and design to create an aesthetically pleasing space. Fortunately, Premier Locker’s wide range of materials and styles allows our customers to choose the perfect locker to suit their aesthetic needs without compromising on quality.

What internal/external design features do you need?

Our gym lockers and sports lockers include various internal features, such as shelves, hooks, and compartments to keep everyday items and valuables safe. Most gym requirements are pretty simple, but consider what items they may put in a gym locker and how they’ll organise them. For example, customers may have a wet towel or sweaty
clothes to store, which they’ll want to separate from other items. Also, don’t forget about ventilation to prevent bad smells and the build-up of bacteria. Thoughtful features and design can help a lot in terms of storage etiquette and avoiding clutter. Do you want flat-topped lockers that allow for larger items to be stored? Would you prefer sloped-top gym lockers that dissuade people from cluttering the space? Questions such as these are worth thinking about and will help you create a space for both you and your customers to be satisfied.
