Sports Facilities

Sports venues need a strength and conditioning room that supports the sport rather than imitating a commercial gym. What the athletes actually need is usually simpler, heavier and more open than a members' floor.

What a venue S&C room needs

• FloorOpen space and platforms

  Lifting platforms, sled lanes and clear floor for warm-ups and movement work. Machines come second.

• RacksMultiple, not one

  Squads train together. Two or three racks with their own bars beat one premium rack every time.

• LoadingBumper plates and bars

  Dropped lifts are part of the sport, so plates and flooring must be specified for it.

• ThroughputGroup-sized

  A squad of fifteen arriving together is the design case, not two people at lunchtime.

Beyond the weights room

Court, pitch and hall equipment sits alongside the S&C room in most venue projects. Tell us what sports the venue serves and we will confirm what we can supply directly and what we would source — rather than implying we stock everything.
