A leading professional sports club came to us requiring a bespoke strength and conditioning facility for their women’s team. Known for developing talented athletes, they entrusted us with creating a space for them that fostered resilience and growth.
This project was a little different, as we were tasked with not only kitting out the space, but building it too. We managed the entire construction process, from laying the foundations and completing the sub-base ground works to assembling the building and installing industry-leading equipment.
Built from the ground up
The success of a project this size relies heavily on a comprehensive design and planning phase that aligns with the client’s vision. We discussed a range of options with the team, such as zoning for cardio, strength and functional areas to optimise space. Alongside our usual design plans, we also undertook rigorous site assessments and created detailed drawings for the building itself.
The building work commenced, starting with the installation of a 300 sq.m facility next to their training ground. We began by completing the sub-base ground works and laying the foundations ready for construction. The semi-permanent structure consisted of solid walls, a pitched roof, two doors and glass windows spanning 20 metres, looking out onto the sports fields.
Flooring for long-term performance
We installed 40mm heavyweight performance flooring to ensure longevity for both the foundations and the equipment within it. The flooring is designed to withstand repeated drops to provide maximum subfloor protection, and both shock and acoustic absorbent properties to create a space to enhance focus and safety.
HVAC systems were integrated throughout the building to ensure optimal indoor air quality and maintain a comfortable environment for athletes when training.
Built for champions
Not only did we build the space, but we delivered on what we do best. We installed industry-leading equipment that’s perfect for professional athletes. We kitted out the facility with high-quality, versatile and durable equipment to support elite performance, including:
- KingsBox Power Rack complete with Olympic bars and bumper plates
- Fully adjustable APEX Super weight bench
- A range of kettlebells and dumbbells with storage racks
- Custom branded machines, including leg press and leg extension
- Wattbike Air-Pro and Tornado Airbike’s
- Treadmills and rowing machines
- DC Blocks
- A range of gym accessories, including resistance bands, mats, and gym balls
Creating customised training spaces
We showcased the club’s logo and brand colours throughout the space to display their personality and values, extending their identity into every feature of the space through bespoke platform inserts and a custom-branded turf in the centre of the space.
From concept to completion
This project really showcases what our team can achieve. We delivered on every stage, providing complete end-to-end management. The integrated approach meant that each element of the build was aligned, with a single point of coordination overseeing timelines, budgets and quality standards. The result is an outstanding, fully operational premium gym facility that’s built to perform.
