Project Case Study

Greenhouse, Leeds

Citu

Greenhouse involves the part-refurbishment and part-new build of a redundant art deco hostel in South Leeds. The distinctive development comprises 172 one, two and three bedroom apartments plus high specification creative work space. It is motive8’s 6th Yorkshire-based gym installation.

The Greenhouse is centred on principles of sustainability and low carbon development, giving residents the best route possible to embrace an environmentally-responsible lifestyle.

Part of this healthy lifestyle includes encouraging residents to walk, cycle or run to work as well as keeping fit in the scheme’s private, residents-only gymnasium, which was designed, supplied and installed by motive8 in August 2010.

With only the treadmill requiring electricity, all other machines in the gym are self-generating and therefore do not impact on the development’s low energy consumption credentials.

To provide a comprehensive workout circuit, we opted to supply a StarTrac upright bike, X-trainer and treadmill, an Octane Fitness Elliptical trainer and a Concept2 rower.

For strength and conditioning, we installed a Dual Adjustable Pulley, two multi-adjustable benches, two Swiss balls, a set of medicine balls and a full set of free weights. Nonslip matting for additional safety was also provided alongside stretching mats for warm-up and cool-down exercises.

Post installation, motive8 has been retained to deliver inductions for all new residents wishing to use the gym together with an ongoing maintenance contract to keep the gym in optimum working order.

"motive8 was quick to understand our requirements and proposed a tailor-made service which was completed within a tight timeframe. Their attention to detail, flexibility, availability, customer service and quality of installation has made the gym at Greenhouse a true success.  We look forward to working with them on the next Citu scheme."
