We were contacted by a corporate company based in Slough to help them with the specification of gym equipment, layout and flooring.
The space is in a brand new building that meets the latest Well Standards. The company wanted to provide their employees with a facility that helps with them maintain their wellbeing while at work, hence having a workplace gym being a key cog in their offering.
The requirement was for the high grade commercial fitness equipment to have internet and DVB tuners built into the cardiovascular equipment with a variety of free weights and functional fitness accessories.
To help the staff understand how to use the equipment we provided 8 days of inductions by our Master Fitness Coaches. Below is a Summery of what the induction includes.
