With the surge in strength training, we’ve been laser-focused on finding innovative solutions that respond to growing demand — particularly in terms of noise reduction and space optimisation. We joined our partners KingsBox at FIBO 2025 to show off two of their latest product innovations which we are now specifying on our UK projects.
New sound absorbing gym platforms
A major focus has been sourcing reinforced weightlifting platforms that are expertly engineered to absorb impact, vibration and sound. The aim is for facilities to expand their strength training zones into previously restricted areas, such as upper floors or shared-use buildings, with structural or acoustic limitations. We’re particularly interested in products that balance durability with sound-deadening performance.
KingsBox SVR Platforms are designed to dramatically reduce noise and vibration. These cutting-edge weightlifting platforms feature a multi-layered construction with high-performance cushioning. Tested against over 80 material combinations, they’re proven to absorb 200% more vibration than standard 30mm rubber tiles. This makes them a game-changer for gyms in shared buildings or on upper floors, where noise control is critical. With an optimal balance of firmness and shock absorption, they’re tailored for serious lifting, from Olympic to powerlifting.
The latest space-saving gym equipment
We’ve been prioritising space-saving solutions for smaller commercial, educational and home gyms where square footage is at a premium. Every facility should have the opportunity to offer a complete strength training experience, regardless of size. We’re investigating compact, foldable equipment, modular rigs and integrated systems that increase functionality without compromising floor space. Our aim is to deliver practical, high-value options that support variety, efficiency and elevated user experience.
We’re launching the Foldable Adjustable Cable Pulley System — a clever evolution of traditional pulley machines. Designed and built by KingsBox to save space without sacrificing versatility, it mounts to walls or compatible racks and folds away with ease. Smooth, ergonomic wheels ensure seamless use, making it ideal for smaller gyms looking to boost training options and user satisfaction.
