Case Study
West Wood Club Westmanstown
WEST WOOD CLUB WESTMANSTOWN
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Training Space: Les Mills Ceremony & Conquer Studio
Industry: Health Club
Website: https://westwood.ie/
West Wood Club partnered with IndigoFitness to reinvent an underused training space and transform it into a dual‑purpose Les Mills Ceremony & Conquer studio. This project required strategic design thinking, space optimisation, and bespoke British manufacturing to create an inclusive, high‑performance space suitable for mixed demographics and evolving community demand.
The Situation
The Solution
IndigoFitness delivered a complete training space transformation.
1. Bespoke dual‑programme layout
We designed a studio capable of hosting both Les Mills Ceremony and Conquer classes in a single footprint by engineering custom rigs and smart spatial planning. This maximised floor usage without overcrowding and ensured the room could flex depending on programme requirements.
2. Safe and intuitive member flow
Custom manufactured walkway screens created clear entry/exit routes and protected circulation lanes, ensuring the space felt organised, safe, and easy to navigate even at peak times.
3. Flooring engineered for performance and protection
To support diverse group activities and deliver long-term durability, we installed:
PaviFlex 32mm Beast (Carbon Black): high-impact absorption, premium feel, and strong aesthetic identity.
16mm premium turf with shockpad: enhancing comfort, acoustic performance and programme-specific functionality.
4. Designed for mixed demographics & high usage
Every design choice considered:
-Clear organisation that supports confidence for all fitness levels
-High-durability materials that withstand heavy footfall
-Layout flexibility to serve both structured classes and open access
5. Personalisation & Branding
Custom colours were selected to precisely match West Wood’s teal brand identity, and stainless steel West Wood logos were integrated to add a premium finish. These personalised details elevate the member experience and help create a space that truly feels unique to the club.

The Result
The transformation delivered a unique, dual-purpose Les Mills studio that:
-Maximises income potential by running two premium programmes from one optimised room
-Improves member retention through a clean, inspiring, inclusive training space
-Increases space utilisation by converting an underused area into a high‑demand community asset
-Supports a broader demographic with thoughtful design, intuitive movement flow and accessible training zones
-Strengthens West Wood’s brand through custom finishes and consistent visual identity
This evolution didn’t just create a more functional room, it helped West Wood build a stronger sense of community and identity within the club. As Luke Heapes, Member Experience Manager, explains:
“How can we build this into something that’s more than a space?
How can we make it feel a bit more like a community? That’s why we engaged Les Mills and IndigoFitness to help us enhance these spaces.”This testimonial reflects exactly what the project set out to achieve: a training space that elevates member experience, supports diverse groups and delivers long-term value for a modern Local Authority facility.
