IndigoFitness is proud to partner with YMCA. An organisation helping young people and communities across the UK. As part of a social-enterprise model, YMCA uses surplus income from its gym memberships to fund critical wellbeing and education programs. The space presented significant design challenges due to its irregular layout with numerous pillars & an inadequate wooden floor.

See How We Did It

The Situation

The YMCA gym space contained numerous pillars and corners, none of which were in line, making it difficult to design a functional layout. This irregular structural layout posed a major challenge in creating an efficient flow and maximising the use of available space.

The studio had an old wooden floor that was structurally insufficient for the new fitness concept. This flooring required reinforcement before we could move forward with the installation of studio concept.

The YMCA chose IndigoFitness based on our proven ability to offer custom design and manufacturing solutions for complex fitness projects. Our previous work with other prestigious clients, such as Third Space, demonstrated our expertise in delivering both aesthetic appeal and functionality.

The Solution

We installed seamless gym flooring throughout the gym and studio, which provided not only durability and safety but also an enhanced visual appeal. In the main gym, contrasting gym flooring colours were used to create distinct zones, helping define the central functional area and the surrounding spaces.

IndigoFitness designed and installed custom storage units that fit around four irregularly placed pillars in the gym. These bespoke units maximised the use of available space, allowing us to overcome the structural challenges while improving the gym’s flow. The units also helped define different training zones.

In the studio, we provided a custom storage solution tailored to fit the available space, ensuring that all equipment was neatly stored while providing additional workstations for HIIT-style circuit sessions. This allowed the studio to serve multiple purposes, from high-intensity training to overflow capacity for the main gym, ensuring it remained versatile.

The Result

At IndigoFitness, our expertise in designing and manufacturing bespoke solutions enabled us to overcome complex layout challenges at YMCA Club that would have been impossible with standard options. By leveraging customisation, we optimised every inch of the available space, seamlessly integrating features around structural pillars to create a functional and aesthetically superior training space.

Through our tailored approach, we didn’t just adapt to the space; we transformed it turning an underutilised area into a modern, high-end gym that reflects the client’s vision. The result was more than just a gym; it became a distinctive facility with its own unique identity and a clear competitive edge over nearby fitness centres.
