Foxhills Country Club Chertsey, United Kingdom
Unique, premium facility design MEETING GUESTS’ AND MEMBERS’ NEEDS
In refurbishing its gym, Foxhills wanted to create a modernised fitness facility with the “wow factor”. Used by club members, hotel guests and gym members alike, the space needed to meet a wide range of training requirements, whilst also tapping into current fitness trends. Combining state-of-the-art fitness equipment with integrated technology and a contemporary aesthetic, the new gym floor was designed to feel open and welcoming, with equipment carefully located within distinct zones to maximise the user experience.
A partnership approach FULL TURNKEY SOLUTION
The Foxhills team were looking for more than just a fitness equipment supplier; they wanted a partner that could add value to the entire project. Following a competitive tender process, Life Fitness was chosen, with its partnership-led approach and ability to provide holistic support to the planned refurbishment cited as key factors in the decision-making process. This support included bringing in a design partner and fit-out contractor to manage and deliver the project from start to finish.
A key consideration in the new gym design was its location directly above the spa. Equipment needed to be carefully chosen and positioned to minimize noise and vibrations. Additionally, low ceiling heights in some areas presented a challenge in accommodating various pieces of equipment while still maintaining the light and airy atmosphere that Foxhills desired.
