Design Philosophy

Functional gym design,
beyond aesthetics

From equipment zoning and circulation to lighting, flooring and material selection, every detail is designed around how people move, train and experience the space.

  • 01Equipment LogicEvery piece of equipment has a purpose and a place. We plan the floor so each station works without crowding the next.
  • 02CirculationA good design lets people move through the space in a natural way. Paths stay clear even when the gym is at its busiest.
  • 03DurabilityA gym should look good today and work hard every day. We design with materials, finishes and layouts that last.
  • 04Business ThinkingCommercial gym interior design should support the business behind it and the people using the space.

Founder · Design Diaries

Sagrika Saraf, founder of Design Diaries, at a gym interior project

I’m Sagrika Saraf, an interior designer and founder of Design Diaries. My journey began with an interest in the human experience of spaces and evolved from designing interiors for residential and commercial spaces to a more refined interest in gym and fitness spaces.

My first gym project changed the course of my work. With the increase in projects came the growth in my understanding of movement, equipment, user behavior and what makes a fitness space really work. I now apply that experience to every gym interior design project that I do.
