KNOXVILLE, TN — When members enter the aptly named The Rush Fitness Complex, they get an endorphin rush from the entertaining, but very physical atmosphere of mountain climbing, bungee jumping, indoor batting, mechanical bull riding, plus all the conventional workout areas and amenities expected from a health club.
One thing The Rush's president/ceo Larry Gurney didn’t want was a rush of air from the hvac system. So, planners decided not to try to keep the existing metal ductwork in the former Service Merchandise store in the Knoxville Shopping Center. As part of the $1.5 million retrofit Gurney chose fabric air dispersion systems to distribute even, draft-free airflow onto members.
