SUPPLIER: CYBEX INTERNATIONAL UK HIGH PERFORMANCE


CLIENT: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN T


he new €50m University College Dublin (UCD) Sport & Fitness facility officially launched in summer 2012 and has since undergone further development, leading to the opening of a performance gym in 2013. The new 850sq m gym, more than double the size of the


previous facility, will support members from the student population and local community as well as athletes and sports students, who will have access to over 100 pieces of cardiovascular and strength training equipment from manufacturer CYBEX International. This includes treadmills and upright bikes from CYBEX’s 625


commercial series, Bravo functional trainers, half racks and lifting platforms and plate-loaded equipment including chest, overhead, incline and squat presses. Meanwhile 13 pieces of selectorised equipment from CYBEX’s Eagle and VR3 ranges sit alongside a functional training zone to make up the state-of- the-art strength and conditioning gym. Work on the project started in 2008, with the €50m


complex comprising the new gym, 50m swimming pool, tepidarium spa, range of indoor and outdoor pitches, climbing wall, squash courts and rifl e range.


The facility also includes a 90-seat cinema, 125-seat theatre,


tournament-grade debating chamber, student offi ces and meeting rooms, and a radio pod. The innovative site also has its own rainwater harvesting system and combined heat and power plant used to generate its own electricity, the excess of which is used by the university. While supporting the needs of its students and the local


community, the gym at UCD is also used as a training site for professional rugby union side Leinster and was recently used by French rugby union side Toulon in preparation for the Heineken Cup fi nal in Dublin in May. Ciaran Magee, CYBEX sales manager for Ireland, led on the


deal, which was awarded to CYBEX through a detailed tender process. Magee says: “UCD Sport & Fitness is undoubtedly one of the country’s top sports facilities, and every component of the site refl ects this. The gym has been designed and built for the wide demographic it supports and from the feedback so far, we’re delighted with the fi nal outcome.” UCD Sport & Fitness Centre manager Hughie McGearty


adds: “The range of equipment offered by CYBEX has ensured that we can cater to the needs of all users, regardless of their ability, level of fi tness or training needs. The feedback we’ve received already from our members is fantastic. “Not only is CYBEX’s equipment of a very high quality, but its


support, advice and service to customers is excellent.” For more information: www.cybexintl.com
