South West London

This home gym project was for a married couple who are current personal training clients of motive8’s. The husband is a keen tri-athlete whilst the wife is interested in maintaining her all-round general fitness levels.

The brief was to create a well-equipped, airy space filled with high specification equipment. The intention was that the space would blend with its surrounding environment and make working out both more inviting and convenient.

The gym is located in a separate building at the bottom of the garden, with a large outdoor space in front of it and full height glass sliding doors which allow light to flood the space.

The blend of equipment we recommended was chosen for its ability to provide a varied workout, thus satisfying both his and her fitness requirements.

For a cardio workout, motive8 supplied and installed a Life Fitness treadmill, cross-trainer and spin-bike. For strength training, we selected a set of chrome dumbbells, a multi-adjustable bench, Swiss Ball and stretching area. Other accessories such as a skipping rope and therabands were also included.

The clients continue to be trained by motive8 in the comfort of their own home gym.

"We met with Nick from motive8 to go through all our fitness requirements. He was quick to understand exactly what we were looking to achieve and pulled the whole project together in a matter of weeks. Having a gym at the bottom of our garden is just fantastic."
