A NEW INSTALLATION FOR CYBEX AND NEW SPECIALIST TRAINING PROGRAMMES FROM STOTT PILATES
ALL CHANGE AT BRISTOL
SUPPLIER: Cybex CLIENT: University of Bristol
T
he beginning of 2011 marked the opening of the brand new fitness facilities at the University of Bristol, in partnership with leading premium fitness equipment
manufacturer Cybex International. Based in the university’s Centre for Sport, Exercise
and Health, the new gym is used by the student population and the general public, as well as the university’s elite athletes. The facilities have therefore been designed to
accommodate and support users of all abilities and sporting disciplines, in order to encourage maximum accessibility and usage. The university, which was recently listed in the top
10 of the Sunday Times Higher Education University Rankings, has a well-earned reputation for delivering excellence across all aspects of university life. Rob Thurston, national sales manager for Cybex
UK, explains: “Throughout the tender process, it was clear that the university wanted to ensure its students had the very best gym in which to train. This included looking at how the gym was redesigned, the layout, the entertainment systems and, of course, the equipment. “To be selected for this contract proves that Cybex not
only produces excellent equipment but also that we are able to offer the highest quality support, ensuring that the end product exceeds the expectations of the client.”
The new fi tness facilities at the University of Bristol
Installation: More than £265,000 of Cybex equipment was installed
The agreement saw over £265,000-worth of Cybex’s
premium exercise equipment installed, including treadmills and cycles from Cybex’s 750 cardiovascular series and a range of resistance equipment from Cybex’s Eagle strength line, including chest and squat presses. Cybex also installed a range of free weights and
plate-loaded equipment alongside four Bravo Functional Trainers – a piece of equipment that combines the best in selectorised and cable-based strength to provide the user with a total body workout. The installation also included a number of Arc
Trainers – Cybex’s non-elliptical cross-trainer that’s been scientifi cally proven to burn more calories than rival cross-trainers. As one of Cybex’s leading fi tness innovations, the Arc Trainer is fully endorsed by UK Cybex fi tness ambassador Paddy Cunningham, who fi nished runner-up in the latest series of ITV1’s hit television show The Biggest Loser, to which Cybex supplied a full range of fi tness equipment. As part of the redevelopment at Bristol, the facility
was also fully refurbished, including new fl ooring, redecoration and electrics, enabling the installation of the latest Plus Audio Visual System with Audeon wireless personal entertainment throughout – all of which was managed by the Cybex installation team. Cybex was chosen from the shortlist of tendering
suppliers thanks to “its highly researched, scientifi cally- designed equipment, its reputation of durability and reliability and its continued support to development and training”, according to Chris Rock, health and fi tness supervisor at the University of Bristol. Rock has also received excellent feedback from the
facility’s users. He says: “Our clients have found the equipment easy to use, anatomically correct and fl exible to their specifi c needs. With such a wide spectrum of users, we have found the Cybex equipment extremely versatile and functional.” For more information, visit
