The new GoPerform HQ encompasses everything you’d see at a top-level sports training ground with sports massage & physio rooms, recovery areas, catering facilities and of course an industry leading training space provided by Indigo Fitness.

The brief for the space was a complex one, it had to incorporate numerous training modalities to cater for the various athletes and sporting disciplines. It also had to maximise the space negating structural challenges such as pillars and utilities. Indigo Fitness sat with the client to understand their training methods, from here we were able to provide numerous concepts and ideas to begin designing this versatile training space.

The first and biggest consideration was the flooring. Dealing with athletes across multiple disciplines the flooring solutions provided each had to lend itself to one of their respective sports. An artificial 4G pitch was installed for the athletes who play on grass pitches, this was to mimic game scenarios and help in the return to play, it also allowed them to wear studded boots indoors further mimicking game situations. We also installed a performance floor in the weights area to protect the sub-floor but also to provide a solid under-foot for lifting, jumping etc. A Regupol sprint track was installed for track athletes to be able to train on in spikes again allowing them to rehab in scenarios as close to actual competition. Finally a turf track was installed for sled/prowler work and any plyometric requirements.

Next was the lifting area, it was decided from an early stage that the requirement would be for a minimum of 4 lifting stations but also that these stations would need to allow for numerous attachments for various rehab and strength training requirements. There was also a big demand for various consumable items such as med balls, slam balls and Bosu’s therefore storage would need to be a key consideration. With this in mind we opted for a completely bespoke rig, housing 6 lifting stations, storage which wrapped around the structural pillars to maximise floor space.

The facility was finished off with a range of Raze Strength and Conditioning products such as Bars, Bumpers, Kettlebells and Plyo boxes, all facilitating the training space and training requirements.
