EcoCooling’s gym & leisure cooling solution
EcoCooling systems are trusted by gyms and leisure centres across the UK and Europe, delivering fresh, cool air for a wide range of facilities, from climbing walls and trampoline parks to soft play areas and padel courts. Our technical team work with installer to tailor systems to suit your environment, whether that means controlling chalk dust in climbing gyms or maintaining warmer conditions for yoga studios.
Most installations use EcoCooling units as part of a complete air handling system, delivering energy-efficient cooling and optional heating. The smart control system adjusts airflow based on CO₂ levels and temperature, minimising energy use, environmental impact, and noise. Using no refrigeration, EcoCooling complies with regulations and can replace existing systems to lower carbon emissions and meet energy reduction targets.
Energy efficient air conditioning for gyms
Evaporative cooling systems can save your gym as much as 90% on cooling costs.
An EcoCooling system uses up to 90% less energy and runs at less than 10% in comparison to refrigeration air con systems.
There is no trade-off, either! The air is high quality, cool and uses far less energy.

Gym & leisure cooling
Cooling and heating gym facilities
Gyms require constant ventilation to maintain air quality, often needing over 1,000 litres of fresh air per second for 100 users. In colder months, heating this air can demand up to 2kW of energy just to maintain indoor temperatures. Evaporative cooling offers a low-energy alternative for warmer months, providing fresh, cool air while reducing reliance on energy-intensive refrigeration based systems. It’s ideal for gyms looking to improve air quality and comfort sustainably

Why use EcoCooling in Gyms?
EcoCooling’s control system monitors CO₂ levels and only brings in fresh air when levels exceed 1000 ppm, reducing unnecessary heating demand. In cooler months, installers can add heating at the air entry point to pre-warm incoming air, which is then gently recirculated during low occupancy. In warmer months, the system automatically switches to evaporative cooling mode , delivering fresh, cool air and improving indoor air quality by reducing odours and stale air. This flexibility makes EcoCooling the most versatile solution for gym and leisure environments.
Gym cooling solution
“The installation of evaporative cooling units within the Olympiad Leisure Centre gym is a superb example of improved energy efficient cooling; creating an energising environment for gym users to enjoy their fitness experience.
The results from this installation have not only proved hugely beneficial to staff and members by creating an environment which boosts motivation and productivity, but financially, it is expected to generate considerable energy savings.”Stuart Pearce
