Read the Spotlight on Jeff Nagel as featured in the GGFA September 2009 Monthly Newsletter!

We don't really have a signature look, but a lot of what we have done in the west has a lodge feel about it.  My look is to bring out of the client's minds what they need and want and then design it.  If it's the right client for me and I am the right designer, distance is not an issue.  You get and you give energy."  Jeff Nagel

With more than 18 years experience in fitness design, NAGELsport has produced over 150 fitness projects in the US and abroad. We eat, sleep, and breathe fitness design. We research and understand the specific needs of each community, and how to create the design that best meets these needs. It is our desire and goal that all clients who enter our facilities are encouraged to exercise and feel welcome in their experience. We want to keep them coming back.

Our designs encourage membership and marketing. The fitness centers we design show incredible membership numbers and growth. NAGELsport has two offices: Edmonds, Washington and Bozeman, Montana. We offer full services in architecture, engineering, and design that specialize in the fitness and health industry. We have worked on all sizes of projects from small individual clubs, to large full-service and hospital integrated facilities.
