Frequently asked question
How long did it take to build the fitness complex?
Construction took 120 days. The work sought to preserve each brand's identity within the complex.
The Grupo Mendes Chaves fitness complex at Pátio Guedala was built in 120 days. In that time, CH3 delivered 650 m² over three floors for three brands with different concepts: AERA Pilates, Tonus Gym and Race Bootcamp.
What had to fit into those 120 days
The timeline covered much more than finishes. Each studio has its own workout intensity and atmosphere, and the design had to express each brand's identity in harmony with the others. That called for acoustic engineering solutions to ensure sound insulation between workouts of different intensities, thermal comfort systems sized for each space and theatrical lighting that enhances the atmosphere of each studio.
The result is a space that combines sophistication, comfort and performance in a single setting, which the case study describes as a milestone in the engineering of premium gyms and boutique studios in Brazil.
Why the timeline matters to the client
For Grupo Mendes Chaves, which operates across Brazil with brands in the fitness and retail segments, including Adidas and MMartan, speed of delivery ties into its growth strategy. Executives Leonardo and Lívio Chaves say the company has "an aggressive growth strategy across Brazil" and that the financing solution CH3 offers is essential for planning multiple franchise openings.
Timeline and financing together
The case study links the construction to BTR3, a model in which CH3 acts as an expansion partner. In the executives' words, "what could have been two units can become four or five at the same time, because the investment becomes viable and strategic." For the group, a controlled timeline and an investment paid in installments are the conditions that turn a construction project into real growth.
