Abstract
the nation which has reduced a large percentage of Nigerians to sedentary spectators. This development among Nigerians of attending commercial fitness centres should be recognised as part of progressive programs for stimulating Nigerian economy. Evidences available from studies support the concept that healthy citizens make a healthy nation. Experiences with factories and industries which have fitness programs as part of employee benefits showed reduced number of lost working hours (absenteeism) less hospital bills and more people in service for longer years because there are no premature retirements due to one disease or the other,, These consequently increased production and the establishments became more profitable. The disturbing aspect of commercial based exercise program centres in this country however, is whether the services they provide are worth the money paid them by their clients. The thesis is aimed at designing the appropriate spaces required in order that the whole concept of physical health be attained in the right way and hopefully make the authorities realise the difference and promote fitness health programs for all.
