Fitness Time XPRESS & 3Days – Riyadh: From Cloud Kitchen to Dual Gym Facility

The Fitness Time XPRESS Riyadh project exemplifies Archecho’s expertise in adaptive reuse and fast-track execution. In this case, part of a commercial facility—formerly used as a cloud kitchen—was fully converted into two operational gyms with distinct branding.

The new layout features:

• Fitness Time XPRESS: 1,000 m²

• 3Days Gym: 400 m² (operated by Leejam Sports as well)

This co-location strategy allowed for shared infrastructure while optimizing every square meter for fitness and user flow.

🔧 Design and Execution in 3 Months

Archecho was responsible for:

• Architectural and interior design

• Electromechanical (MEP) design

• On-site construction and fit-out

• Project and schedule management

All tasks were completed within just 3 months—an impressive milestone for a 1,400 m² facility with dual programs and mechanical demands.

Energy-Efficient Cooling Solution

The project had to overcome the low ceiling heights typical of cloud kitchens and retail units. Instead of costly structural modifications, Archecho implemented industrial ceiling fans to create thermal comfort while lowering HVAC energy loads. This solution balanced comfort with low operating costs, a major factor for sustainability and efficiency.
