David Hinchliffe Home Gym
David Hinchliffe Case Study
WHO: David Hinchliffe
Account Manager: Rhiannon Jones
WHERE: England
TYPE: Home Gym
OVERVIEW
Earlier this year, our team worked with David to design the home gym of his dreams. Now that all equipment has been installed, we thought it would be a great time to revisit the completed site. Before contacting our team, David wasn’t sure whether home gyms would be of interest to Origin.
THE CHALLENGE:
From the beginning, the team ensured David felt listened to and took on board his vision. The smaller space presented a different challenge for the Origin team, as we needed to make the most of the space with each piece of equipment to maximise David's training potential.
After an initial discussion, Rhiannon (Account Executive) created a rough mockup outline of the space and realised there was additional space for more equipment. David was impressed, and after a bit more back-and-forth, a final decision was made about equipment choices for the space.
THE SOLUTION:
After some discussion, additional equipment was added to create a well-kitted-out home gym featuring high-quality strength equipment. This home gym has a bit of everything, including gym equipment, strength machines, free weights, and gym flooring.
Our team of engineers was on site to help David with the installation, ensuring the equipment was working and everything was installed correctly. This meant David walked into a turnkey gym, allowing him to work out as soon as our team left.
Free Weights
The gym includes essential free weights, a range of dumbbells, kettlebells, and Olympic barbells. David already had hex dumbbells, so we added a vertical storage rack to keep them secure and cast iron kettlebells for functional exercises.
We included a 20kg Olympic Barbell and 10kg EZ Curl Bar so David could perform Olympic weightlifting movements. Supplied with this was a mix of crumb rubber bumper plates and Olympic plates to be used with the plate-loaded equipment and a toast rack for storing them.
Gym Equipment
An impressive selection of strength equipment was added to the site starting with our Alpha Series. The Folding Wall Mounted Half Rack, and DAP were included with various attachments like Battle Ropes, Tricep Cables, and Straight Bar, allowing David to hit many muscle groups.
Impulse Fitness equipment was also included, such as the Impulse Hack Squat/Leg Press, IT7 Preacher Curl, and an IF93 Lat Pulldown. One major benefit of these Impulse products is the compact footprint which allowed more equipment to be added to the space
Gym Flooring
David wanted to push his limits while training but wasn't planning to drop lots of weights, so 40mm high-impact tiles weren't necessary. Rhiannon opted for our 20mm Premium Tiles with matching 20mm Ramped Edges, using our CAP System to keep everything in place.
20mm Tiles were the perfect fit for this space as they absorb most impacts, reduce forces, and provide a stable, hard-wearing top sheet. This means they will absorb high levels of noise and vibrations and provide a long-lasting top sheet that would be easy for David to maintain.
THE OUTCOME:
Working with David on this site was a pleasure, and speaking with him post-installation, we know he has enjoyed working out in his high-quality home gym. This space is a testament to David and the hard work of our team here at Origin, showing what can be achieved in a small gym:
"I never imagined a professional gym installer would be bothered about helping me design, plan, and supply a small home gym, but from the first moment I contacted Rhiannon, nothing was too much for her.
I gave her my room dimensions, a rough budget and a lot of equipment I'd like. She quickly came back to me and suprisingly said is there any more equipment you'd like? You have more space.
After a bit of back and forth, we decided on a final list of equipment and I now have a very well-kitted-out home gym with high-quality equipment. I cannot recommend Origin and Rhiannon enough.”
