I was blown away by the work Bruce and the team at ODSI did for our boutique fitness concept. From the first call, Bruce really tried to understand my vision and he did an outstanding job of making it a reality. I couldn't be happier the work and support of Bruce and his team. I would recommend Bruce and his team to any studio owner who wants to work with professional designers who are the best at what they do.

Country Club New Fitness Center
When Frenchman’s Creek Beach and Country Club first sat down with Optimal Design on our Fitness and Spa new construction project we let them know we had bold aspirations and high expectations. Optimal Design was up to the challenge to achieve these goals. Frenchman’s Creek Beach and Country Club would like to thank Bruce and his team for effectively completing our project. His firm worked diligently and responsibly. Today our membership enjoys the benefits of getting fit and living a healthy lifestyle.

I highly recommend Optimal Design for their design talents. Their aesthetic designs and practical applications are outstanding. They did a 6500 square foot office and 10,000 square foot surgery center that gets rave reviews from all of our clients. And we love the space design. We are in the process of selling the surgery center and the reason we were chosen for the sale was in great part due to our aesthetic design. And because of that, the buyers want to use our center for their higher end clients, giving us a revenue bump we didn’t expect. I initially had reservations about working with a team from out of state, but my fears were unfounded. There were no hiccups in communication and Bruce Carter and his team made sure every detail was exactly as requested. Site visits and virtual design conferences were never an issue.
