Newbridge Leisure Centre

Phase 2 of the project included a full redecoration of the space, giving it a much darker and trendier look and feel. We swapped the entire ceiling out for darker grey tiles and selected new fixtures and fittings for the walls to make sure they were on-trend.

The final piece of the redecoration puzzle was the flooring, installing a high-impact commercial grade vinyl in the main gym with a stylish 10mm grey fleck rubber roll in smaller areas such as the group cycling, HIIT and dance studios. We opted for a 30mm high-density weights tile finish in the weights and functional rooms, with safety vinyl used on all stairwells and landings to meet the council’s building regulations.

The next phase was to install the AV and lighting, working with a specialist partner to ensure the sound and lighting were both modern and effective. This has helped to transform what was a fairly quiet and laid back gym into a space that’s more vibrant and motivational, with early feedback from members being very positive.

Finally, we kitted out the entire gym with all new equipment and products from the Inspace range, including touchscreen cardio machines, selectorised and plate-loaded strength equipment, free weights and a bespoke functional training zone with a rig, turf track and accessories. All the cardio machines are interactive and hooked up to TVs, allowing members to watch movies, binge their favourite Netflix shows or browse on social media while they work out. They can also mirror their phones or tablets to the machines if they prefer.

Under very challenging conditions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we worked closely with the Newbridge team to deliver a total upgrade to the leisure centre’s fitness facilities in just over a year, on time and on budget, helped by their trust in us and the autonomy they gave our team every step of the way. This project is a real flagship site and demonstrates what we are capable of delivering, pulling out all the stops to get it over the line and ending with one very happy client.
