Experience Exceptional Cooling Today

Discover the best fans for your gym! We offer an extensive range of wall fans, ceiling fans, and portable fans all suitable for gyms. Whether for home garage gyms or commercial setups, find the best cooling fans to suit your needs

The more you sweat, the cooler you get!

Our quiet gym fans provide powerful airflow, cooling efficiently without the high costs of traditional air conditioning. Say goodbye to noisy high-velocity fans that either blow too hard or don’t reach far enough. Instead, enjoy a comfortable, quiet cooling experience that works.

Using evaporative cooling, our fans are ideal for gyms, where athletes need maximum cooling while sweating. Members prefer the natural feel of our airflow over standard air conditioning.

Jet Black Fan Systems offers gym ceiling, wall, or portable HVLS fans as affordable cooling solutions. These large fans are a long-term investment, built to last with low power consumption, making them cost-effective to operate. Plus, with an exceptional warranty, you can rely on them for years to come. Our fans have been a game-changer in gymnasiums, creating a noticeable improvement in comfort and well-being.

During summer, fitness facilities often become unbearably hot, affecting performance and raising safety concerns for athletes. Our whisper-quiet HVLS fans solve this problem, providing a cost-effective, energy-efficient cooling system that keeps everyone comfortable.

Not just for cooling, your members and staff will love the variable breeze all year round, dispersing odours, reducing humidity and creating a cleaner indoor environment.

Fan Benefits

Improve your members’ comfort & get more from your workouts

Use our high airflow low speed gym fans to break down the natural moisture barrier around your skin. This causes evaporative cooling which leads to an intense cooling effect. This effect is increased when there is more moisture on your skin, which is what makes it so effective for cooling gym members. By reducing heat fatigue, you increase productivity of workouts. This can cause members to see quicker results, which in turn attests to their satisfaction and retention with your club. Our fans are installed in gyms and sports clubs across NZ because they are such an effective cooling fan for all sized gyms, ranging from garage gyms to franchised gyms.
