The reFIT Gym project at 100 Wood Street marked the start of an exciting new framework partnership. We were tasked with transforming the lower ground and basement levels into a fully automated gym and multipurpose studio, where technology manages all aspects of the workout experience. Key challenges included managing acoustics to prevent disruption to the offices above, integrating complex mechanical and electrical systems, and repurposing the vacant ground-floor retail unit.
The Solution
The vacant ground-floor retail unit was divided up into a gym and multipurpose studio, catering for a wide range of wellness & fitness activities. The lower ground floor’s changing facilities were stripped out, extended, and modernised, introducing spacious changing rooms and bike storage while maintaining the building’s structural integrity. The gym was fitted with advanced technology, including dynamic lighting systems and large LED screens, providing an immersive, fully automated fitness experience. Limewash paint provided a sustainable finish for the feature walls, and tailored acoustic measures ensured the offices above remained quiet and undisturbed. This gym and studio are the first steps in a long-term partnership with reFIT, establishing a strong foundation for future automated fitness spaces.
