Locations: Port Jefferson, New York & Staten Island, New York

Client: Planet Fitness

Ordine's Air Conditioning & Heating Inc. was proud to be selected for the complete commercial HVAC installation at Planet Fitness. We handled their two major locations – one in Port Jefferson, NY, and another in Staten Island, NY. As high-traffic fitness centers with heavy daily usage, these facilities required robust, energy-efficient HVAC systems capable of maintaining comfort and air quality.

Engineering HVAC Systems for High-Traffic Fitness Centers

Fitness centers present unique challenges compared to standard commercial buildings. With continuous foot traffic, elevated body heat from workouts, and the need for proper ventilation in locker rooms and group fitness areas, each system must be carefully engineered for performance and durability. Our team designed fully integrated HVAC solutions tailored to meet these demands while ensuring long-term reliability. The project included the installation of:

  • High-efficiency heating and cooling units,
  • Smart zoning for balanced temperatures across all workout areas,
  • Custom ductwork fabrication for optimal airflow,
  • Advanced ventilation to maintain indoor air quality,
  • Proper fresh air exchange systems to support healthy, oxygen-rich environments.

These components work together to deliver even temperature control and consistent airflow, regardless of outdoor weather conditions or indoor activity levels.


Precision, Planning, and Performance

To achieve seamless integration across both New York locations, our team conducted thorough site assessments and collaborated closely with general contractors, architects, and project managers. Precise planning was essential to ensure that ductwork, equipment placement, and airflow distribution aligned perfectly with the layout of large, open gyms and multi-use rooms. We engineered systems designed to:

  • Keep workout floors cool and comfortable,
  • Manage humidity levels in locker rooms,
  • Enhance air purification in high-density areas,
  • Support equipment longevity with stable indoor climates.

By focusing on efficiency and performance, we delivered systems that reduce energy consumption while improving comfort – a win for both gym members and facility operators.



Built for Durability and Round-the-Clock Operation

Planet Fitness locations operate long hours, often 24/7, which means their HVAC systems must be durable, dependable, and capable of running continuously. The systems we installed are designed to withstand nonstop usage, handle fluctuating occupancy levels, and maintain consistent indoor environments throughout every zone of the facility.
