Case Study
Western Tennis Club
Western Health and Racquets Club
Spatial Efficiency
Location: Glasgow, Scotland
Training Space: Sport & Health Club
Website: www.glasgowwestern.co.uk/
In the heart of Glasgow’s West End, the Western Health & Racquets Club is a fitness facility known for its commitment to sport. IndigoFitness were appointed to help Western overcome unique spatial challenges and transform their training areas into efficient and creative fitness zones.
The Situation
The club’s training space was small and uniquely shaped, with limited wall space and a low ceiling height. These constraints presented us with an opportunity to demonstrate our creativity in gym design and manufacturing. With our custom solutions, we made the most out of limited space without compromising functionality.
The Solution
To address the spatial limitations, we created four individual training PODs: two dedicated to strength training and two to functional exercises. These training PODs were carefully designed to maximise usability and provide distinct training environments within the confined space.
A standout solution was the decision to remove the subfloor to the existing concrete subfloor. This alteration created additional head height to mitigate the challenges posed by the low ceiling and offered a solution for accommodating taller gym equipment.
Flooring Solutions:
Premium fleck rubber flooring tiles
Equipment Solutions:
RAZE Shadow Series – Half Racks
RAZE Shadow Series – Integrated Hi / Lo Stack
Custom RAZE Shadow Series storage
RAZE Strength equipment – including including Shadow Series Barbells, PU dumbbells, PU Kettlebells, Med Balls, Slam Balls, R-Sport Bumper Plates, Soft Plyo Box.
The Result
The outcome of this collaborative effort has been transformative. Our creative approach to overcoming constraints has resulted in an enhanced training experience for members.
The training PODs cater to full training sessions, personal training sessions, and specialised workouts, maximising the use of the limited space. With the integration of custom equipment and complex flooring solutions, the training environment accommodates a range of exercises, from strength training to HIIT cardio.

What do Western Tennis look for when selecting suppliers & partners?
“When we were deciding which company to choose for the gym refurbishment, a lot of it came down to who was coming up with the best gym design ideas. We were looking for something bespoke as we have a low ceiling height in the gym. Indigo came up with ideas to break the gym into different training pods with quality and bespoke equipment. “
What challenges were IndigoFitness able to help you overcome?
“The challenge we had was that we have low ceiling heights, we have always found it difficult to get squat racks and weight lifting equipment. Indigo managed to lower the floor and design and maufacture bespoke squat racks to fit the space. Indigo also designed the space in a way that allows 4 distinct training pods for members and allows us to stand out from the crowd. “
How was the process of working with IndigoFitness?
“When it came to the design of the gym, the Indigo team had lots of good ideas and gave us a lot of steer in terms of how the industry is moving. The industry has changed a lot over the last 5-10 years. We wanted our gym to keep up with that. We feel we now have a modern and unique gym for this area. When it came to the actual refurb, I was amazed how quickly they got the place stripped out. “
