"The new gym has exceeded our expectations. It’s an inspiring space that students genuinely enjoy using."
— Salford City Academy
Salford City Academy required a professional-standard fitness suite that could support both curricular and extra-curricular activities. Gym Gear provided a full design-to-installation service, ensuring every square metre was optimised for function, flow, and student engagement.

The Challenge
The academy wanted a facility that would not only motivate students to take part in physical activity but also offer versatility for different training needs. The space needed to balance cardio, strength, and functional training, with durability and safety as top priorities given the high daily usage from students and staff.
The Solution
Gym Gear’s design team produced a detailed 3D layout so the academy could visualise the final design before installation. Once approved, the installation team completed the project with precision, ensuring all equipment, flooring, and accessories met commercial standards.
The installation featured a comprehensive mix of high-performance Gym Gear equipment, including cardio machines, strength stations, functional rigs, free weights, and durable flooring solutions. This combination provided a complete training environment for students of all abilities.
The Result
The completed fitness suite offers a professional environment that supports all aspects of student fitness and wellbeing. With clearly defined zones for cardio, strength, and functional training, the academy can now deliver structured PE lessons as well as independent sessions. The combination of high-performance equipment and robust flooring ensures long-term durability, safety, and enjoyment for all users.
The project stands as a strong example of how educational institutions can create engaging fitness environments that promote health, confidence, and active learning.
