The new fitness suite at Our Lady’s RC High School has had a profound and multifaceted impact on students and staff alike. Students are actively engaged, proud to train in a modern, professional environment. This has translated into higher participation rates and more enthusiasm for physical education. Beyond physical health, the gym has positively influenced mental well-being by providing an outlet for stress relief and self-regulation, particularly for students facing challenging situations. Teachers have noted improved focus and behavior in the classroom, attributing these changes to regular physical activity. The inclusive design ensures that all students, including those with disabilities, feel welcome and capable of participating. Overall, the fitness suite has fostered a culture of health, teamwork, and lifelong fitness habits, far exceeding initial expectations.

“A well-designed fitness suite can be a central resource for promoting physical health, emotional well-being, and lifelong habits in students, all while contributing to a holistic educational experience. IndigoFitness provided this and made us feel confident in the whole process, this is the reason we opted to use their equipment and expertise.”

Have there been any unexpected benefits or positive impacts on students or staff since opening the space? 

The use of the gym to help some pupils self-regulate during difficult situations, allowing these pupils to stay in school rather than be sent home or excluded.

How would you describe the process of working with IndigoFitness on this project?

From the initial inquiry to the final delivery, everything was streamlined and well-organized. The communication was timely and transparent, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It’s clear that your team has put a lot of thought and effort into optimizing workflows and ensuring that every step is customer-centric. I particularly appreciated the advice on which equipment would be useful in a school setting. It’s rare to come across such well-executed processes, and I felt valued as a customer throughout the entire journey.

Were there any specific aspects where IndigoFitness added the most value? 

Sam’s knowledge of the fitness industry and the equipment that would be most effective in our school helped massively when deciding which equipment would benefit our pupils the most. His expertise on ways to maximize the equipment usage and save us money on the order too was second to none.

How did the overall experience and the finished space compare with your expectations?

Not only was the gym equipment delivered in a timely and professional manner, but I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail and the care taken to ensure everything met my needs. It’s clear that indigo fitness takes great pride in their work, and it truly made a difference.

What stood out most to me was the detail in all the embroidery and metal work to make it a personalized gym set up. It’s rare to come across a service that goes the extra mile, and I want to commend them  for it.

I will definitely be recommending the service to others and will certainly be a repeat customer in the future.
