While working on the new development of Ayton House student accommodation, Hello Student realised the modern student requires more than just a great looking room. A modern student housing complex offers the students support at all levels, including their fitness requirements.

In order to deliver a top quality gym within a limited space, they turned to Origin Fitness who supported the project through gym design and equipment supply, as well as in-depth training for the students upon the gym's opening.

A cusom Modular Storage Rig was installed to house a range of functional accessories without impacting the floor space available for the other equipment.

Next to a versatile Origin Dual Adjustable Pulley and an extensive free weight offering including Origin RD2 Rubber Dumbbells and RB2 Rubber Barbells, Origin also supplied a selection of classic CV in the form of Impulse R700 series treadmills and ellipticals.

The end result is a well equipped and cleverly laid-out gym that is available to the students whenever they wish.

Training

Master trainer Claire Tracey joined the residents on launch day to educate them about the equipment available to them, as well as giving them personalised training tips and safety demonstrations. As many of the students were new to functional training equipment like the suspension trainers and the plyo boxes, this training session was invaluable to teach them how to take advantage of the equipment on offer.
