Uniformity across locations
Maintaining uniformity across all pools and hot tubs at the Movati Athletic Clubs has been central to the pump room design and choice of equipment. Movati wanted to give its maintenance staff the ability to work at any location, whether it be in Ontario or anywhere else in Canada. So, in addition to building the pools, choosing the equipment, and setting up the pump rooms, Hollandia was tasked with training the club’s maintenance staff to work on any pool mechanical room equipment that would be found at any one of the Movati locations.
“This way staff will see the same equipment and will know how to service everything regardless of which facility they are maintaining,” says Deakin.
“Having all pump room equipment be the same, with the same layout, allows any mechanical staff at any location or those travelling between locations to find the same equipment in identical locations, not only making it easier to service, but also easier when ordering and sharing parts.”
Growing and expanding
Movati Athletic Clubs are thriving despite the pandemic. Deakin says he believes their success can be largely attributed to the quality put into everything they do. They have a proven product and strive for consistency and performance.
“Their product is very uniform and high-end with finishes that are second to none,” says Deakin. “We have been challenged by Movati, but they have never strayed away from Hollandia and we are proud to be their aquatic contractor and consultant.”
Hollandia currently has two additional Movati clubs on the books in which they will be building two pools and two hot tubs per facility. They also have five additional clubs slated to be installed in Western Canada over the next few years.
