The design process started with the main floor. This was divided into two with one side fitted with 32mm duraTRAIN premium flooring, and the other, an open pilates studio with a walkway running down the spine leading to treatment rooms and changes rooms.
The core design feature from an equipment point of view, was the bespoke functional rig. This was designed to perfectly fit between two central pillars and also provides precisely enough space for an in built 1.2m wide artificial turf track to run underneath.
The bespoke rig provides a central storage hub for all small equipment and provides a natural boundary between the gym and pilates studio. The rig also features a full length monkey bar run, multiple pull up grips, suspension training points, grapplers, and a Shadow Series Dual Adjustable Pulley (DAP) incorporated to maximise functionality in the space available.
At one end of the Matt Roberts space are the plate loaded stations. This area is equipped to target all the main lower body exercises. This includes a Bi-lateral Leg Press, Iso-lever leg extension, Iso-lever standing leg curl, and finally the brand new plate loaded Glute Drive station.
At the other end of the space are two custom designed Zenith half racks with the plate storage removed and relocated on the walls to the side. The half racks have been designed to be as shallow to the wall as possible to maximise floor space. They also have glute drive and band peg attachments for added functionality. To the left of the rack are the Zenith PU dumbbells housed on a shadow series storage rack with Zenith adjustable benches in front.
Surrounding all of the above elements are large amounts of open floor space to create the flexibility for both PTs and clients to carry out their sessions.
