IndigoFitness recently collaborated with Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), a leading institution renowned for its state-of-the-art facilities and commitment to supporting aspiring student athletes. The project focused on refurbishing MMU’s vast 290m2 space with gym flooring solutions to ensure optimal functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The Situation

MMU’s gym refurbishment project presented several challenges. The university needed to address damaged flooring, redesign the layout to optimise the space usage, and enhance the overall functionality and aesthetics of the gym. With the gym being a central hub for students, athletes, and staff, it was crucial to create the the right environment. 

The Solution

 IndigoFitness collaborated closely with MMU to deliver a comprehensive gym flooring solution tailored to the university’s unique requirements:

Architectural Collaboration
IndigoFitness worked with MMU’s chosen architect to ensure seamless integration of gym flooring solutions with the overall design vision. This collaborative approach facilitated efficient decision-making and alignment of project goals.

Flooring Expertise
Recognising the critical role of flooring in gym design, IndigoFitness provided a range of high-quality gym flooring options tailored to MMU’s needs. From durable rubber flooring to shock-absorbent surfaces, IndigoFitness offered solutions designed to withstand the rigors of constant use while enhancing user experience and safety.

Space Optimisation
IndigoFitness focused on optimising the gym layout to maximise space usage and functionality. By strategically curating workout zones, creating clear pathways, and recognising gym equipment placement, the redesigned gym layout promotes efficient movement and seamless user flow.

Custom Design
To address specific requirements of the project, IndigoFitness offered custom solutions. This ensured that the MMU logo was proudly presented across the the lifting platforms. Also clear markings and numbers included on the turf for training purposes. 

Flooring Solutions:

$

Premium DuraTRAIN 32mm rubber performance flooring for heavy lifting.

The Result

The collaboration between IndigoFitness and MMU resulted in transformative outcomes for the university’s gym flooring and future training space. The optimised gym layout and high-quality flooring solutions will  improve the functionality of the space, making it more versatile for various training modalities. The carefully selected flooring options complemented the overall design aesthetic, contributing to a visually appealing training space. IndigoFitness’ durable gym flooring solutions will provide long-lasting performance, withstanding the demands of constant use and maintaining their quality over time. This durability will ensure minimal maintenance requirements and prolong the lifespan of the gym flooring.
