Combining exciting design with performance at UGym
THIS January saw the launch of UGym in central Scotland. Established in an old mill, the UGym team refurbished the building and turn it in to a modern fitness facility. The team worked with Origin Fitness to equip the space, from flooring to fitness equipment, and to provide further support in further in training and gym design. Various zones were installed within
UGym, including an Olympic and Powerlifting zone, free weight zone, cardio and strength zone and a functional Redline studio. Each zone had specific needs in terms of flooring, but the most exciting area for the gym was the new Redline space. In the Redline studio, Origin Fitness
installed its 10mm Premium Fitness Roll, which allows for a seamless finish and an ideal base for the custom Redline markings that are the basis for Redline classes. The flooring also helps reduce impact noise; a useful feature within the open expanse of the refurbished mill. Measuring 9m by 5m, the zone was built
to accommodate high volume and high impact training, so the flooring has to protect the subfloor and accessories, while also offering suitable grip for fast-paced functional movements during the classes. Made from repurposed rubber materials for shock-absorption and reduced trip hazards, the Origin 10mm Premium Fitness Roll is ideally suited for this purpose.
Meeting the needs of London’s largest functional training space
BOUTIQUE fitness manufacturer EXF worked with Third Space to create The Yard at its Canary Wharf club, transforming the site’s former sports hall into a 745sq m flexible training space. Inspired by strength and conditioning,
functional training and combat arts, The Yard features an open gym space, a dedicated combat zone on a mezzanine level and a 220m3 functional training rig, created by EXF. The team fitted new flooring throughout
including EXF designed function performance flooring, EXF strength flooring and a 15m three lane indoor track from its agility range. The function performance flooring has a seamless surface and anti-slip properties, making it ideal for areas used for body-weight, suspension and resistance training, conditioning and circuit

training areas. It also helps reduce the chances of injury during activity, by integrating with EXF’s Control SD underlay system. The strength flooring range is designed for
areas that require exceptional flooring protection such as heavy weight lifting. EXF supplied bespoke 135mm solution in heavy drop zone areas including the use of the EXF Control underlay. In advance of its installation, the team put all flooring through rigorous testing to ensure it provided the right level of acoustic protection. This was especially important as The Yard is located above the site’s holistic and spa area. All flooring was supplied in bespoke colours and passes REACH certifications.
