Crown Hill Community Gym is a welcoming and inclusive community facility at the heart of Llantwit Fardre, south Wales, which offers a variety of classes and personal training. Crown Hill owner, Steve, approached us to revitalise their existing space as it was no longer fit for purpose. They needed an upgrade that reflected the quality of their training, inspired users and catered for different groups.
Revamping Crown Hill Community Gym
The gym was set in two converted squash courts, and the outdated equipment and layout did not support the dynamic training environment they envisioned. They wanted a space that was not only functional but also aligned with their ambition to provide a high-quality fitness experience for their members.
From vision to reality
After an initial consultation and multiple site visits, we advised and supported their decision to transform two spaces. The first space was designed as a functional fitness studio, while the second was dedicated to fixed strength training. The detailed 3D renders helped Steve and the Crown Hill team visualise both spaces, ensuring that every aspect of the refurbishment met their expectations.
A strong installation
The installation was completed within a few days, starting with the floor, which was 30mm rubber throughout, with a red turf been the centrepiece feature in the functional fitness space, enhancing both the performance, and professional aesthetics of the spaces.
The key headline equipment was KingsBox Wall Mounted Half Rack, APEX Bars & Plates, and cardio and boxing equipment. In the fixed strength suite, we installed a selection of Dyaco/Spirit commercial-grade equipment and a full range of hex dumbbells with dedicated storage.
This space provides members with a commercial grade fixed strength studio with more equipment than was available before. The whole transformation improves not only the look and feel of the gym but overall enhanced the training experience, creating a gym to inspire.
The impact of the transformation
With its updated facilities, Crown Hill Community Gym’s membership has grown by over 50% and the local community now has access to commercial-grade strength equipment in a space designed for both functional and traditional strength training.
The energy at the gym is through the roof – now brighter, cleaner and more vibrant, with a strong sense of community at its core.
