Creating a High-Performance Gym in a Compact Space
The Brief
This luxury hotel in Maldives offered world-class amenities, but its gym was small and lacked variety. To enhance the guest experience, the hotel operator decided to introduce in-villa fitness facilities, giving guests the option to work out without leaving their villa.
To achieve this, the hotel planned to convert part of the villa’s expansive bathroom into a sleek, fully functional mini-gym. The challenge was to seamlessly integrate aesthetic yet high-performance fitness equipment that complemented the villa’s elegant design. The setup also needed to enhance—not replace—the hotel’s existing gym, which featured only dumbbells, two isolation machines, one cable machine, and two treadmills.
With thoughtful design and space optimisation, the goal was to create a private, high-end fitness experience, offering guests both convenience and luxury in their wellness routine.
The Proposal
1. Strength: We suggested the versatile PENT. Banka exercise bench for strength training. The PENT. Sophia mobile gym trolley contains dumbbells kettlebells and a medicine ball for complete strength training.
2. Cardio: The NOHRD bike, offering a space-saving cardio solution. As the hotel doesn’t know the fitness levels of their guests, this is a good option.
3. Mobility: For flexibility, the PENT. Sophia mobile gym trolley, offers a curated selection of tools to enhance mobility and ensure a well-rounded mobility routine including a balance ball, a yoga mat and block. The best part? The trolley can be easily rolled outdoors or into other spaces as needed.
