THE FULL WORKS SUPPLIER: SAFE SPACE LOCKERS CLIENT: GYMWORKS
G
ymWorks is a new budget gym that opened in Lancashire this summer. But after an investment of more than half a million pounds, GymWorks is much more high-end health club than budget gym.
The 140-station, 1,200sq m (13,000sq ft) club is housed
in the magnifi cently restored former BAA Systems Aviation House on one of Europe’s largest urban developments: Buckshaw Village in Chorley. The independent gym is owned by fi tness industry veteran
Peter Guy, in partnership with property developer Craig Winstanley. The pair have invested £600,000 in the project. Guy started his 26-year career in fi tness with JJB, playing a key role in the chain’s growth to 68 clubs, and more recently was head of leisure for DW Sports. Precor supplied the gym equipment at GymWorks: 50 pieces
of cardio, including the recently launched AMT with Open Stride, alongside Icarian strength units and Concept2 rowers. Alongside this is a large free weights area and a functional training zone equipped by Escape Fitness. The new club also offers 26 group cycling bikes and
a 185sq m (2,000 sq ft) studio featuring a nightclub-style sound system and lighting, whereby the colour of the walls changes in sync with the music. For the changing rooms, Guy chose to work with Safe
Space Lockers. Following an in-depth consultation, Safe Space Lockers presented Guy with a variety of designs in 2D and 3D, making the fi nished changing rooms easy to visualise. It also offered GymWorks a number of options for different budgets without compromising on quality or durability. GymWorks opted for MFC laminate lockers with a traditional superior oak fi nish, oak veneer benching and dry
There are 50 pieces of cardio and a large free weights area
vanity units. To complement the oak, cream mariner shower cubicles were selected. Guy explains: “As seasoned professionals, we want value for
money. Safe Space gave us that and more. I chose them for this project because it was an important job with a strict deadline – I needed people I could rely on to deliver quality on time. “Safe Space went above and beyond, not just in terms of
hitting the tight deadline, but also in the way it provided a top quality project management service and fi nal fi nish installation. The changing rooms look amazing and the customer feedback has been fantastic. I certainly hope to work with them again in the future and ensure all our customers receive a quality facility at unbeatable membership prices.” Daniel Jones, sales director for Safe Space Lockers, led the
project. He says: “Ensuring GymWorks got exactly what it wanted was paramount. We provide quality products to fi t all environments and, with the added bonus of our own interior design service, we were able to offer Peter and Craig a selection of designs prior to their commitment.” For more information:
