Time for my small rant.

"Good work-out temperature (low 60's)"

We take care of the HVAC in some Charlotte area Work Out centers. Maintaining low 60's now is easy. But normal A/C equipment is designed to maintain 72 deg. when it is 95 deg outside. Then add several people in the mix sweating , adding moisture and heat to the space it is darn near impossible.

Although to maintain lower temps. and humidity special options need to be added at substantial cost. Ofcourse this equipment is rairly specified to keep cost down. Then everyone gets mad at the service tech. because he cannot make the equipment maintain the desired comfort levels.

Last year I quoted replacing the existing equipment for an arobics room with equipment especialy designed for the application. I had the factory rep come and take temp. and hunid. readings and size the equipment. The space had about 15 tons of cooling. The cost to replace the equipment with the same type would be around $20,000, but to install the correct equipment the cost was around $70,000. Which way do you think they went.

I can save the upset members a lot of money. Drop your membership and come up on the roof with us when it is 100 deg. and 90% humidity. You will loose the weight a lot quicker.
