Choosing the right gym lockers is important when planning a new gym or refurbishing an existing gym changing room. You need lockers that offer enough space for members' belongings without taking up too much floor space. One of the most common questions we get asked at 3D Lockers is: "What size lockers should I buy for my gym?"
In this guide, we will explain the most popular gym locker sizes and how to choose the best gym storage lockers for your facility.
What Is the Standard Size of a Gym Locker?
Most commercial gym lockers are approximately 1800mm high, with a choice of different widths, depths and compartment options.
The most popular dimensions are:
Height - 1800mm
Width - 300mm, 380mm or 450mm
Depth - 300mm, 380mm or 450mm
For most gyms, we recommend 300mm wide x 450mm deep lockers. This provides enough storage space for gym bags, trainers, clothing and towels.
Should You Choose 1, 2, 3 or 4 Door Gym Lockers?
The number of doors determines how much storage space each member receives.
1 Door Gym Lockers - Full-height lockers provide the largest amount of storage space. They are a great choice for gym members who need to hang coats and store larger bags.
2 Door Gym Lockers - Two-door lockers are one of the most popular choices for gyms. Each compartment is approximately 900mm high, providing plenty of space for a gym bag, shoes and clothing.
3 Door Gym Lockers - Three-door lockers are ideal for busy gyms where space is limited. Each compartment is approximately 600mm high, making them suitable for smaller gym bags, trainers and personal items.
4 Door Gym Lockers - Four-door lockers provide compact storage for smaller personal belongings and valuables such as keys, phones and wallets. They are suitable for fitness studios and facilities where members don't need to store large bags.
What Is the Best Width and Depth for Gym Lockers?
The locker width and depth are just as important as the number of doors.
-
300mm wide: Great for everyday gym storage.
-
380mm wide: Offers additional space for larger gym bags.
-
450mm wide: Ideal for premium gyms requiring generous storage.
When it comes to depth, 450mm is generally the best choice for gym lockers. It offers enough room for most gym bags and clothing without taking up excessive floor space.
Metal Gym Lockers or Wooden Gym Lockers?
The material you choose will depend on your budget, changing room environment and what overall appearance of lockers you want. Metal gym lockers are a popular and cost-effective option for commercial gyms. They are manufactured from a strong steel construction and available in various colours and compartment sizes.
Wooden gym lockers, including wood-effect laminate door lockers offer a more premium appearance. They are popular in boutique gyms and luxury health clubs.
For changing rooms exposed to showers, swimming pools or high humidity, we recommend specialist wet area lockers rather than standard steel lockers.
Why Are Black Gym Lockers So Popular?
At 3D Lockers black gym lockers are quickly becoming one of our most popular colour choices for gyms. Black lockers create a modern appearance and complement contemporary gym interiors. Black is a bold shade and works well to create dark and moody, ultra modern or minimalist interior. Black metal lockers are perfect for indoor cycling studios, crossfit and boutique fitness studios. They are available in different sizes and door configurations with a range of locking options, making them suitable for both small fitness studios and larger commercial gyms.
How Many Gym Lockers Do You Need?
This depends on how many members use lockers during peak periods. For example, if you need 60 individual storage compartments, you could choose: 60 single-door lockers, 30 two-door lockers, 20 three-door lockers or 15 four-door locker units. This shows how multi-door lockers can maximise your available gym storage space.
