Fitness Gym Parking Lot Striping in Cottage Grove, Oregon: 2026 Service Guide

Striping a Fitness Gym Lot in Cottage Grove

A gym lot lives and dies by its peak hours. The 6 a.m. crowd and the 5-to-7 p.m. rush pack the lot tight, then it empties for the slow midday stretch. The striping has to make the most of every stall during those crunch windows while staying easy to navigate in the dark, when a lot of members arrive and leave. For a gym on Main Street, Gateway Boulevard, or near I-5 Exit 174 in Cottage Grove, that means dense, accurate stall layout and wayfinding that reads at night.

Cottage Grove sits at the south end of Lane County, a covered-bridge town on the I-5 line. Its fitness facilities draw members from the surrounding rural area as well as in town, so a gym lot here often handles more vehicles than its footprint suggests at first glance.

This guide covers what a gym restripe involves, the industry cost ranges, and the local conditions that shape a Cottage Grove project.

What a Gym Lot Needs From Its Striping

Peak-hour stall density

The goal is to fit as many usable stalls as the lot safely allows without cramming drivers into spaces they can't comfortably exit. Right-sized stalls and tight, accurate lines turn a chaotic peak into an orderly one and squeeze real capacity out of a fixed footprint.

ADA spaces near the entrance

Members arrive in every condition, including those recovering from injury or surgery. Accessible stalls on the shortest, flattest path to the door — with proper access aisles and the accessibility symbol — keep the gym welcoming and compliant.

24-hour after-dark wayfinding

Many gyms run early and late. Directional arrows, clear drive-aisle lines, and reflective beads in the paint keep the lot readable when members arrive before sunrise or leave after dark.

Member vs. class-overflow split

Group classes create surges that overwhelm the front rows. A marked overflow area, with arrows pointing to it, absorbs that wave without sending members circling.

Bike-rack and e-scooter zones

A growing share of members arrive on two wheels. A painted bike and e-scooter zone keeps those near the entrance and out of the vehicle stalls.

Gym Striping Costs: Industry Baselines

The ranges below are industry baselines from national surveys and contractor databases. Actual Cottage Grove costs often run higher depending on surface condition, lot complexity, and ADA scope. Use them as a reference, not a quote.

Per-space restriping

Lot Size	Spaces	Industry Baseline Range	Per Space (Baseline)
Small studio lot	20–40 spaces	$350–$550	$3.00–$6.00
Medium gym lot	40–90 spaces	$500–$1,000	$2.75–$5.50
Large fitness center	90–160 spaces	$900–$1,700	$2.50–$5.00

Per-space pricing falls as the lot grows because setup is spread across more stalls.

Specialty markings and ADA

Service	Industry Baseline Range
ADA-compliant space (complete)	$200–$350 per space
ADA access aisle marking	$75–$150 each
Directional arrows (each)	$25–$50
Bike / e-scooter zone striping	$40–$90 each
Stencils (OVERFLOW, MEMBERS ONLY)	$30–$75 each

New layout vs. restripe

A new layout typically runs 40 to 60 percent more than a restripe because it includes measurement and space planning. For a gym fighting peak-hour congestion, a redesign that adds stalls and a defined overflow zone often pays for itself.

Local Factors That Shape a Cottage Grove Project

Surface condition and prep

Sound asphalt takes paint right away. A worn gym lot with oil stains and cracks needs prep first, which adds to the total. High member traffic tends to wear paint faster, so prep needs show up on schedule.

Climate and timing

The Willamette Valley gives a real striping window — late spring through early fall, dry and above 50°F. Booking in spring for early-summer work beats the peak rush.

Paint durability

• Water-based latex — most common, lowest cost, 12 to 24 months
• Oil-based — better adhesion, 20 to 30 percent more, 18 to 30 months
• Thermoplastic — premium, 3 to 5 years, good for high-wear drive aisles
• Reflective glass beads — a modest upcharge that matters for a 24-hour gym's after-dark visibility

The Exit 174 mix

Near I-5, you'll find both older lots and newer commercial pads, so a contractor handles simple refreshes and full redesigns in the same stretch. An on-site measurement beats any chart.

What a Contractor Can't See Until Work Begins

• Old paint peeling beneath the surface layer
• Oil saturation from heavy member traffic
• Cracking hidden under faded lines
• Drainage low spots that wash fresh paint
• ADA stalls that no longer meet current standards

A measured assessment beats an average every time. See local pricing context in our parking lot striping in Cottage Grove overview.

When to Restripe Your Gym Lot

• Lines have faded to half visibility or less
• Members park crooked or outside the stalls at peak
• ADA markings have worn down
• The overflow area is no longer clearly marked
• The lot was recently sealcoated
