Amenities that
fill buildings.
Forte Fitness Equipment designs and supplies complete fitness amenities for multi-unit residential buildings across western Canada. Studio suites to 500-unit towers. Spec-to-installation in a single contract.
The Amenity Advantage.
Built In.
Prospective tenants compare amenities before they compare rent. A well-designed fitness space is one of the highest-ROI amenities a building can offer — visible during tours, used daily, and consistently cited in tenant retention surveys.
Forte has equipped over 200 residential buildings across western Canada. We assess your amenity floor, design a layout that maximizes every square foot, supply commercial-grade equipment, and handle full installation. One contact. Complete accountability.
Built for
Your Building
Every recommendation we make is optimized for residential use: maximum utility per square foot, minimal noise impact on neighbouring units, and equipment that holds up under daily tenant use without constant service calls.
Maximum Utility
Per Square Foot
Amenity rooms in residential buildings are rarely designed with fitness in mind. We've outfitted spaces from 300 sq ft to 3,000 sq ft, and our floor plans are engineered to accommodate full-body training — cardio, strength, and functional — without wasted square footage. Every layout is site-specific.

Strata-Ready
Construction
Residential installations require noise-isolation flooring, vibration-dampened mounting, and equipment that meets strata council bylaws. Forte specifies product and installation methods that pass strata approval — and we provide the documentation your council needs.
Managed After
Day One
Tenant-facing equipment needs to work every day. Forte's annual maintenance contracts cover preventive service, parts supply, and rapid-response repairs — so your property management team isn't fielding gym complaints. We own the equipment's uptime.
Designed for
Your Building
Residential amenity installations come with constraints that a commercial gym distributor isn't built for: strata council approvals, noise bylaws, shared mechanical rooms, and tenants who notice every detail. Forte has spent over two decades developing residential-specific delivery methods, installation standards, and service networks that match the pace of property management.
From initial floor plan to annual preventive maintenance, we stay on contract. Your property management team doesn't manage the gym. We do.

Quality and
Reliability
Residential amenity equipment sees intensive daily use from a wide range of tenants — seven days a week, early mornings through late evenings. When a treadmill breaks, there's no quick fix that doesn't frustrate tenants and reflect on property management. The standard for reliability in a residential amenity context is higher than most operators expect.
Forte specifies product from manufacturers that publish commercial-grade duty ratings, independent test certifications, and verifiable warranty claims. Every piece we recommend is rated for the daily load your building will put on it.
| Daily Use Rating | Minimum 16 hours continuous use specification on all cardio units |
| Frame Warranty | 10-year structural frame, 5-year parts, 2-year labour minimum |
| User Capacity | All equipment rated for users up to 350+ lbs; selectorized up to 500 lbs |
| Noise Standards | Vibration-isolated mounting and IIC-rated flooring included in all installs |
| Upholstery | Commercial-grade vinyl, antimicrobial, 3" minimum density foam |
| Certifications | CSA Group, CE, ASTM F1749 where applicable |
From the Building
Forte outfitted the amenity floor in our 180-unit building in two days with zero disruption to residents. The spec sheet they provided was detailed enough that our strata council approved it in a single meeting. Equipment has been running without a service call for over a year.
We had an underutilized amenity room that was becoming a tenant complaint. Forte came in, redesigned the layout within the existing square footage, replaced the equipment, and our gym usage tripled within the first month. Vacancy in our building dropped noticeably that quarter.
We manage twelve buildings across Edmonton and needed a single vendor who could handle all of them consistently. Forte's multi-site program gave us unified spec sheets, volume pricing, and one maintenance contract. Our maintenance team doesn't touch the gyms anymore.
