The clubs’ original plan to combat this was to install a partition wall between the training area and the walkway, however we saw an opportunity to incorporate this into the design of the equipment without the need for building a wall. We proposed using the rig / storage system to create the divide, because as well as allowing the space to feel more open, it would derive a functional benefit of additional storage space and enable us to incorporate training equipment along it – such as wall bars, a Nordic attachment, a dip attachment, a Revvll rope trainer, and a hi / low pulley.
Having our own design team and manufacturing facility allows us to provide bespoke solutions that really are designed specifically to fit in the space available, and work with it in terms of maximizing functionality. The training rig we designed also exemplifies this principle – it covers the full length of the space with legs that are at the perimeter of the room, maximizing floor space. A 12m long continuous run of monkey bars occupies the centre of the training space, with throw targets and wings on one side and a sliding punchbag rail, holding 4 bags, on the other. The sliding rail feature enables the punchbags to be rolled out when in use and then returned to the corner when not, freeing up the whole floor space under the rig.
We have surrounded the custom rig and storage with complimentary HIIT cardio pieces; two Concept II Ski Ergs fixed to the pillar, two Renegade Airbikes, and two Renegade Runners. Their positioning means they can easily be incorporated into the group classes or used on an individual basis.
Underneath all the equipment is a large piece of bespoke turf, designed and marked out to match the various elements of the rig, and make programming for classes that much easier.
