Fitness center questions regarding windows

Freeman Schultz

Anyone here have any experience or background in fitness center design?

I recently checked out a condo for investment purposes. The agent was giving me a tour of the fitness center located at the top of the building. It looked all very nice, but, I made a comment that there was a lot of windows and it was very easy for people walking by to look inside

The agent told me that windows and open spaces were now industry standard gyms due to safety issues. That more windows meant more safety because nothing could be hidden.

I took the what the agent said with a grain of salt. 

I am not an expert, but my thinking is that more windows, mean more exposure and less security.

Can anyone here confirm what the agent was saying?

Thank you.

@Freeman Schultz

I have built multiple fitness centers is high rise buildings and all had floor to ceiling windows in them. Brought in as much light as possible and had great views.
