Project Overview

Client: The Residence, Prussia Street

Location: Prussia St, Stoneybatter, Dublin

Industry: Residential

Square Footage: 1076 sq ft

In early 2024, our team was contracted to install a new gym in a student accommodation facility located in the heart of Stoneybatter. The accommodation, housing 193 bed spaces, aimed to enhance its amenities by offering an on site gym. Our company was selected due to our expertise in creating gym space tailored to the client.

    Outcome

    The gym installation was completed within the day, much to the satisfaction of the client. The gym is set to become a popular feature of the accommodation, giving the students a place of their own to workout.

    Feedback from the client highlighted the professionalism and efficiency of our team, as well as the quality of the installed equipment. This project underscored our commitment to delivering bespoke fitness solutions that cater to the specific needs of our clients, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted partner in the gym installation industry.

    Equipment

    The client requested a varied selection of equipment. We installed a premium assortment of gym equipment, featuring cardio machines from our partners at Life Fitness and strength equipment from their Hammer Strength line. We supplied all the weight plates, dumbbells and miscellaneous items, such as dumbbell racks, kettlebells and mats from our own Hit Fitness range.

    Key Pieces:

    • Life Fitness Activate Series Cross Trainer Robust
    • Life Fitness Axiom Dual Adjustable Pulley
    • Life Fitness Signature Olympic Squat Rack
    • Life Fitness Heat Row
    • Life Fitness Activate Series - Upright Bike
    • Life Fitness HD Airbike

    Planning

    The project began with an initial consultation to understand the client’s vision and specific needs. The accommodation management wanted a gym that was modern, versatile, and safe, catering to both novice and experienced users. Space constraints were a key consideration, as the gym area was limited to 1076 square feet.

    After assessing the space, we proposed a layout that optimised the available area while ensuring safety and accessibility. The design included a range of equipment, such as cardio machines, strength training stations, and a dedicated area for functional training. We prioritised equipment that was durable, user-friendly, and required minimal maintenance, understanding the heavy usage typical in student settings.

    Installation Process

    The installation was scheduled during the summer break to minimise disruption to students. Our team coordinated closely with the accommodation’s management and construction team to ensure smooth logistics, including the timely delivery of equipment and clear communication of safety protocols on site.

    The installation process involved two key stages:

    1. Delivery and Unpacking: All equipment was delivered in secure packaging. Our team carefully unpacked and inspected each item to ensure there were no damages during transit. Then the equipment was carefully transported from truck to gym.
    2. Assembly and Placement: Following the layout plan, we assembled the equipment on-site. The placement was done with precision to maximise space and ensure accessibility. Special attention was given to the spacing between machines to comply with health and safety regulations.
