“The SportHouse gym will be split over two fl oors and contain 250 pieces of Cybex equipment”.


excluding others. This has resulted in Cybex becoming one of few suppliers offering a comprehensive range of stage 2 IFI accredited equipment. A full range of Cybex strength training


equipment will also be installed at the site, to support the needs of the elite athletes who will start using SportHouse in the build up to summer 2012 This extensive list of equipment includes eight Big Iron half racks and lifting platforms, eight Bravo functional trainers, six plate loaded stations and 17 free weight stations. Over 35 pieces of strength equipment will also be installed from Cybex’s Eagle, VR1 and VR3 ranges. All staff will receive comprehensive on-site product and fi tness programming training, as well as ongoing maintenance support. The extensive suite of training


apparatus will also include Concept2 Rowers, Versaclimbers, Spinner bikes and a variety of plyometric and functional training equipment to compliment the comprehensive range of Cybex equipment. Rob Thurston, national sales manager


for Cybex UK has been instrumental in securing the deal with SportHouse and is looking forward to seeing the site fully operational: “It has been fantastic for us to work on such an exciting and interesting project such as this one. Next summer, SportHouse will host some of the world’s leading athletes and to know that our equipment was chosen to meet the high training specifi cations of these competitors is testament to the high quality and diverse range of fi tness equipment that we produce.” As part of the agreement, Cybex


will use SportHouse as the new UK base for its REPs accredited education programme. The seminars will cover

various health and fi tness topics including exercise biomechanics and machine analysis, advanced training techniques using functional equipment and weight lifting. Places will be available for SportHouse staff as well as up to 30 places available for Cybex clients. The site will also be used as a


‘showcase’ for Cybex equipment, where new and existing clients can visit the facilities and see the diverse range of users and training requirements that Cybex caters for.


Supporting the sporting legacy Following a busy summer of sport in 2012, SportHouse will form part of what will ultimately be a sporting legacy set to last for generations to come. The facilities have already been a focus


of attention from the British Handball Association, the FA and British Weight Lifting, all of whom have expressed interest in the long-term use of the site. Discussions with The FA have already


been held around the suitability of SportHouse as a venue to host Futsal competitions across all levels of the game, as the site has already been confi rmed as a training venue for the England senior Futsal team in April 2012.


The facility will also be used to


support nearby schools and the local community to encourage involvement in sport, as Rob Thurston concludes:


“the versatility of the site will ensure that users of all ages, abilities and sporting interests will benefi t from the facilities for years to come. Cybex will continue to work in close partnership with Ebbsfl eet Sports Centre and HBA to ensure that SportHouse supports a lasting legacy”.
