PERSONAL TRAINING STUDIO

Inside the project

VSTRONGR came with a strong idea of its own. The studio was built around a four-part fitness journey, giving the design a clear story to work with from the beginning.

The case study

Six decisions from shell to opening

The project is shown in the same order it was solved — beginning with the business brief and ending with what the studio carried forward

01

The brief

What needed to be built

The client wanted a personal training studio based around four pillars: learn to move, build, perform and recover. The brand already had a clear story and direction, so the design needed to translate that journey into the physical space.

02

The user

Who the space needed to serve

The studio was designed around a more focused personal training experience. Instead of creating a generic gym floor, the space needed to support a journey where users could learn, train, perform and eventually recover.

03

The constraint

What stood in the way

The site was a basement with very limited natural light. The pillars were unevenly placed and there was no emergency exit. A new staircase also had to be excavated on site, making the existing conditions an important part of the design challenge.

04

The move

What changed in the plan

The idea of a fitness journey became part of the visual experience through a focus light running through the space. We kept the design minimal and concentrated on the training experience rather than adding unnecessary materials or decorative elements.

05

The result

What improved in use

The studio developed a more refined and focused atmosphere without relying on excessive finishes. A lighter colour palette helped create a luxurious mood, while the restrained material selection kept the space practical and durable.

06

The learning

What we take forward

This project reinforced the value of restraint in gym design. Using only tile and textured paint for the main material approach showed that a space can feel considered and premium without relying on too many materials.

Turning a fitness journey into space

The planning focused on creating a clear movement through the studio while working around the existing structural and site constraints.
