At IndigoFitness, we believe space should never go to waste. In this chapter of our Underused Spaces Series, we return to Scotland with another collaboration with Angus Alive. This time, we transformed an underused spin studio at Saltire Leisure Centre into a high-energy, multifunctional group training space that reflects the evolving demands of today’s gym-goer.

See How We Did It

The Situation

An ageing spin studio sat underused, underperforming, and ultimately not contributing to the wider member experience or revenue generation. The team at Saltire Leisure Centre needed a smarter use of space, one that could reinvigorate their group training offer and increase participation.

The Solution

IndigoFitness reimagined the studio as a flexible, functional training space designed to host both Les Mills classes and the centre’s own custom programming. Smart storage solutions helped declutter and open up the environment, with functional zones added to make the most of every square metre.

The Result

The transformation of the underused spin studio into a dynamic HIIT and functional training space has delivered far more than just a visual upgrade, it’s created a highly effective community asset. Since launching, the studio has become a vibrant hub for group fitness, with clear and measurable success:

28+ new classes added to the timetable each week

6,082 total participants engaged in Elevate sessions

134 bolt-on memberships sold, indicating a strong uptake of the new offering

624 annual members now enjoy access to the enhanced space

Crucially, the space is serving a diverse cross-section of the local community, demonstrating wide appeal across generations:

Gen X: 2,288 participants

Boomers: 1,921 participants

Gen Z: 383 participants

Millennials: 147 participants

This isn’t just a story of smart design, it’s one of strategic activation. A previously underperforming room is now a key contributor to member engagement, operational value, and community wellbeing.
