Bryanston School

A new high performance centre

Bryanston School, a leading independent school in the UK, recognised the need to upgrade its strength and conditioning facilities to support its students’ athletic development. The school wanted to create a state-of-the-art facility that would cater to the needs of both experienced athletes and those who were just starting their fitness journeys.

Sport is key to life at Bryanston and to support its Performance Sports Programme, the school needed to refresh and extend its facilities and strength equipment to a standard that would not only stand up to the rigours of school use but would also rival elite training centres.

A fully equipped strength and conditioning hub

We were brought in at an early stage in the design of the school’s brand new high-performance centre. As strength and conditioning specialists and experts in the education sector, we quickly understood the type of strength equipment needed to get the very best out of pupils and other users, as well as creating a fully flowing gym design to allow pupils to make full use of the space. The team worked closely with the school’s administrators and coaching staff to identify the specific needs of the athletes and design a facility that would meet those requirements.

The result was a bespoke facility fitted out with Bryanston-branded strength equipment from Legend Fitness – a company with a proven track record in the US collegiate system.

Reinforcing professionalism and team spirit

Bryanston’s carefully conceived facility is helping the school take its Performance Sports Programme to the next level. Featuring a bold gold and blue colour scheme to match the school’s brand identity, the space includes elite-level kit to help build strength, agility and dynamism in athletes of all ages.

The opening of the facility marked a key point in Bryanston’s journey and their aim of promoting a positive association with sport that lasts a lifetime, regardless of ability. Having the right strength equipment in place, and the school’s identity on every weight, bench and rack builds on the togetherness that successful sports performance demands.

The kit had an immediate effect on not only the pupils using it but also everyone entering the new S&C area. Over time it will inspire both Bryanston pupils and elite sportspeople across the country.
