Challenge #160 - The Workout Zone
Deadline: Wednesday 28th January, Midnight CMT
Settling down in your visitors area with a cup of coffee and your portfolio, you feel proud of all you have accomplished in such a short time. Flicking through the pages you spy gorgeous colonial architecture, elegant Victorian spires, industrial chic, an interesting take on penthouse living and of course your very own custom built office. But what what challenge is going to come next?
After ten minutes, your coffee cup is drained and you are sat back at your desk awaiting your next client. Rose knocks on your door and shows her in, wait, that’s Judy Olsen. What is she doing back so soon?
You cross to the door and take her hand, “Judy, it’s lovely to see you again, is everything OK with the apartments we built for your and Don’s parents?”
“Oh yes, they are all so thrilled to have their own space, yet still be so close at hand. There have been some tense times, but things all seem to be settling down now, which is why I’m here.”
She takes a seat as Rose reappears with a tray of coffee and some tiny little caramel tartlets. Judy takes one look at the tray and laughs! “Oh my! How perfect!” She exclaims.
Intrigued, you arch your brows at her, inviting her to elaborate.
“Well, Don and I were thinking we could both do with losing a little weight, you know after all that holiday overindulgence!”
Thinking of all those extra calories you consumed over the period, you nod encouragingly.
“We want to start our own little gym! A place for people with like minds to gather, work out and chat. And we want you to build it for us.”
“We’ll need some space for classes, a weights room, an area devoted to cardio and of course some changing rooms and showers. We were also thinking about having a separate little juice bar come cafe for those who want to try and live a healthier lifestyle, but aren’t quite ready to take that step into the gym. What do you think?”
“I think it sounds wonderful and I am sure that you will be inundated with members. Did you have any thoughts on styles, colours and so on?”
“Well, we don’t want a modern space, too many gyms look so intimidating and perfect that people can be a little hesitant to even step foot inside. We just got back from Monte Vista, Don’s parents got engaged there and we were hoping you could try that Mediterranean style?”
This could be a bit of a challenge, you think to yourself. But you also think that it would perfectly suit the brief, so you nod and ask, “What about a budget?”
“Well, how does $175,000 sound?”
“Like you will have the most tricked out charming gym in Sunset Valley! We’ll get started on it immediately, I think we should be able to get it completed in two weeks for you, ok?”
“Perfect, now let me eat one of these charming little tartlets, Don doesn’t need to know does he?” She says with a wink.
Your Brief:
A Mediterranean style build with two separate buildings, on a 40x30 plot in Sunset Valley. The larger of the two is to be a comfortable gym, the smaller a café/juice bar.
The gym needs to include space for classes, a weights room, an area devoted to cardio and men's and women’s changing rooms and showers. It will need a reception area and an office for all the paperwork.
The café/juice bar needs to have a bar, tables and chairs, an office and a food preparation area. It will also need it’s own toilet facilities (bear in mind that this is a food preparation area and as such you will need two doors separating the main area from any WC).
Your budget is $175,000.
Sim Challenge:
We would like to see Don and Judy (you can find out all about Don and Judy here) in their newly created space and other Sims enjoying the gym and café, these can be Sims you have created or Sims already present in the game. We will need a picture of each area in use.

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: Sim Challenge. You will find pictures of the Sunset Valley Community throughout the above media including plenty of Judy and Don Olsen (who were all over the place autonomously). So many sims showed for the opening it was impossible for some pictures not to include them without setting the lot to no visitors allow.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISIM: I'm new to sharing my lots, having previously kept them just to myself, so I'd love any feedback in order to make my lots better. And if you like it, please toss a thumbs up on it!
