The Brief
Set within a historic residence, the client wanted to turn a quiet hallway leading off their main living space into a private training room. The chosen area already offered striking architectural features - high arches, a mirrored wall, and natural light streaming through a glass façade. Their ask was simple: create a gym that stayed completely in sync with the character of the room and the overall home, while still giving them a functional space to train every day.
1. Strength:
The strength zone is placed along a full-height mirrored wall so the space feels brighter, more open, and supportive of proper form checks. This area features the PENT. Banka exercise bench and PENT. Bystra bench press set as the core pieces for foundational lifts. To keep the environment versatile yet refined, we included the PENT. Colmia dumbbell set, PENT. Lova kettlebells, and PENT. Moxa medicine ball, all displayed on custom shelving that maintains order while complementing the castle’s elevated, luxury aesthetic. To add further versatility, the Stil-fit Functional Trainer, offers a sleek cable system perfect for a wide variety of strength exercises in compact or shared spaces.
2. Cardio:
Cardio equipment is positioned along the glass wall beneath the arches, taking full advantage of natural light and the architectural character of the space. The PENT. Irena curved manual treadmill offers a smooth, self-powered running experience, and the PENT. Hania stationary bike provides a compact but powerful ride suitable for all training styles. To complete the cardio zone, we added the NOHRD WaterRower, which introduces a quiet, fluid rowing element that pairs beautifully with the serene, elegant atmosphere of a castle-grade home gym.
3. Mobility:
For mobility and recovery, we proposed an open shelving unit that neatly stores all essential tools such as the PENT. Koha yoga blocks, PENT. Rola stretching rollers, PENT. Mesna premium leather fitness balls, and PENT. Mata yoga mats. Each piece is easy to access and keeps the room clean and organised. We also recommended incorporating the PENT. Sophia, a mobile gym stocked with curated fitness essentials, offering complete flexibility for training in the neighbouring multi-function room when a more private or expansive workout setup is preferred.
