Problem

Sweaty gymnasts - thanks to Tennessee’s hot, muggy, summers and an air conditioner that couldn’t keep up.

Solution

MacroAir installed one MacroAir 24′ AirVolution-D 780 fan in the gym.

Result

Comfortable gymnasts, happy parents, and reduced utility usage.

 

By opening The Gymnastics Center of Chattanooga, Emily and Adam Bryd brought gymnastics to the next level in the Chattanooga area. Their premiere facility offers competitive gymnastics training as well as a fun environment for recreational gymnastics, cheer, and tumbling.

It was June—just the beginning of the Tennessee summer—and the gymnastic center’s air conditioner was already running all day, attempting to keep up with the heat and humidity. That month, the temperature typically climbed to 90°F with 75% humidity. With their existing system, the renovated 15,000 sq. ft. warehouse could only be cooled to 85°F. For that reason, the gymnastics center purchased one 20-foot MacroAir HVLS fan to increase circulation, create a cooling effect, and supplement the air conditioner.

Gymnasts, parents, and trainers were impressed!  The fan changed the space from stifling to comfortable.

“We’ve had a lot of feedback from parents. Last summer it was a bear in here with the heat. The kids would leave here just drenched in sweat, and sometimes parents aren’t very happy about that. It’s made a huge difference. Thank you so much for this awesome fan.” -Coach Joe, Gymnastics Center of Chattanooga

 

Mid-summer one of the center’s air conditioners went out. This situation immediately became sticky because of the hot and muggy Tennessee weather. Owner Adam Byrd shared how they dealt with the situation:

“We just turned the fan on and cranked it up all the way, every day. I love that fan. Absolutely love it. I cannot say enough good things about it.” -Adam Byrd, Owner, Gymnastics Center of Chattanooga

In addition to the cooling effect, The Gymnastics Center of Chattanooga found an unexpected benefit: no need to run the heater! The gymnastics center simply ran the fan in reverse, cycling the warm air from the ceiling to floor level. As of March, they still had not turned the heater on all winter.

Installing a MacroAir HVLS fan was a great investment for The Gymnastics Center of Chattanooga. The gymnasts, parents, and trainers enjoy the cooling effect and the owners benefit from reduced utility usage.
