Working closely with owner Noah Mixson, our design team developed a solution centred around intelligent zoning, multifunctional equipment and premium finishes.

Strength Training Without Compromise

One of the biggest opportunities within the space was the large rear wall. Rather than introducing freestanding equipment that would reduce available floor space, we utilised this area to create dedicated strength training pods using Shadow XD Half Racks. Positioned strategically along the wall, the racks create individual training stations capable of supporting two to three members at a time. By incorporating specialist attachments including Dip, Hip Thrust and Single Leg stations, coaches now have significantly greater programming flexibility without increasing the footprint of the room.

The result is a strength-focused training area that feels purposeful yet remains fully integrated into the wider studio.

Smarter Storage. Better Flow.

A key objective was reducing clutter and creating a cleaner, more organised training environment. To achieve this, bespoke storage solutions were introduced throughout the studio, including Vertical Hanging Dumbbell Shelves and dedicated storage for training bags and accessories. This approach keeps equipment accessible when needed whilst ensuring the training floor remains open and functional for larger group sessions.

By removing unnecessary obstacles and improving organisation, coaches can move more freely throughout sessions and members benefit from a more intuitive training experience.

Premium Flooring for Performance and Aesthetics

Flooring plays a critical role in both the performance and visual identity of a training space.

For VitalPlus, we specified 32mm Duratrain Premium Tiles in Pewter, providing exceptional durability, acoustic performance and comfort underfoot. The flooring creates a clean, professional foundation throughout the studio whilst supporting the varied demands of strength training, conditioning and functional fitness.

To further define training zones, a Turf Track was incorporated into the design, helping structure movement patterns and support a broader range of training activities.

A Design-Led Approach

Beyond the equipment and flooring selections, the project focused heavily on creating a cohesive aesthetic. Inspired by the premium environments found in leading boutique facilities and high-end health clubs, the finished space balances functionality with visual impact.

Every element was carefully considered to ensure the studio feels modern, organised and intentionally designed.
