This newly built 6-star ski resort in Japan wanted a gym that would rival the world’s best - curated, not crowded.
Their vision included a serene yoga studio, a thoughtfully equipped strength training zone, and premium cardio machines tailored to their discerning global guests.
The resort’s interiors featured rich natural materials - warm wood tones, bamboo fibres, and an earthy calm that extended across the property. The gym needed to reflect the same elegance: spacious, intentional, and nothing like the over-packed hotel gyms guests have come to expect.
The Proposal1. Strength: For the strength training zone, we recommended the PENT. Banka exercise bench, paired with the PENT. Colmia dumbbell set on a horizontal stand. To introduce variety and versatility, we included the PENT. Lova kettlebell set and PENT. Lipova push-up bars - both housed within a custom wooden shelf for elegant storage and easy access. To complete the setup, we selected the NOHRD Slimbeam cable machine, which offers a wide range of resistance-based exercises in a sleek, space-efficient frame that complements the overall luxury aesthetic.
2. Cardio: For a well-rounded cardio experience, we recommended and installed three NOHRD Sprintbok curved manual treadmills. These self-powered machines offer a responsive, natural running motion while remaining energy-efficient, and their handcrafted wooden frames elevate the overall design of the gym.
To complement these, we selected the Stil-Fit Ergometer indoor bikes - sophisticated, compact, and low-impact cardio options that blend high performance with timeless aesthetic appeal.
3. Mobility: For mobility and flexibility, we recommended the PENT. Scala wall bars - an essential tool for bodyweight exercises and assisted stretching. This was accompanied by the NOHRD Eau-Me Board, a dynamic balance trainer designed to strengthen the core and enhance stability through its innovative water-core design.
A curated range of mobility accessories was also placed on open wooden shelves, elegantly displaying the PENT. Mata yoga mat, PENT. Koha yoga block, PENT. Tresna balance trainer, PENT. Rola stretching roller, PENT. Mesna fitness ball, and PENT. Pasa yoga straps.
Together, this setup supports a holistic approach to wellness, recovery, and functional movement - all while maintaining the refined aesthetics of the hotel gym.
