The Brief

Every square foot working harder

The layout was carefully planned to maximise every square foot, creating a seamless flow between strength training, studio and recovery areas. A full internal fit-out was delivered, including M&E coordination, alongside durable, high-quality finishes suited to a high-traffic environment.

  • Full internal fit-out of two commercial units
  • Mechanical & electrical coordination
  • Recovery suite: sauna, ice bath & float bath
  • Durable, high-traffic finishes throughout

The focus throughout was buildability, programme control and attention to detail — the result is a high-end, fully operational facility now established as a standout fitness destination in Bolton.

Wellness & Recovery Suite

A dedicated space for recovery, not just training

Sauna, hydrotherapy pool and a flotation pod sit alongside a treatment room and changing facilities — giving members a proper recovery routine, not an afterthought.
