University of Central Lancashire, Preston Gym Equipment & Design

Gym design for a new S & C course!

Central to the installation were Sterling half racks, equipped with branded integrated lifting platforms that reflect UCLan’s distinctive identity and commitment to high-quality training environments. These half racks are a versatile choice, perfect for strength training, as they provide students and athletes with the stability and support needed for various lifts. Each rack is robust and designed to handle intensive use, making it well-suited for university settings where equipment will be in constant demand.

In addition to the half racks, the suite features premium technique boxes, which allow students to practice and refine lifting movements safely. These boxes are critical for helping beginners develop the right form and technique, thereby enhancing overall safety and effectiveness. Alongside the technique boxes, Olympic bars were provided to ensure that students have access to the same quality of equipment used in professional sports and fitness settings.

To complement the lifting stations, Fitness Warehouse supplied colour bumper plates, an essential component for any serious S&C suite. These plates not only bring visual appeal but also contribute to the gym’s functionality by enabling safe drops during Olympic-style lifts. The vibrant colours aid in quick weight identification, streamlining training sessions and making it easier for students to focus on their performance.

With this installation, Fitness Warehouse has demonstrated its expertise in supplying high-quality Preston gym equipment tailored to educational and performance settings. This suite now stands as a valuable resource for UCLan students, preparing them for careers in fitness, sports coaching, and athletic training by providing hands-on experience with industry-standard equipment.
