Small Group Personal Training Gym
200 sq. m.
Josh is a successful gym owner with multiple locations across the UK. He was ready to expand his fitness brand internationally. With a clear vision and a growing demand for high-quality training spaces, he set his sights on Ireland, specifically, the vibrant city of Cork. His goal was to introduce a small group personal training gym that offers a welcoming, structured environment for people of all fitness levels.
The unique concept behind Josh’s gyms is rooted in accessibility: every member starts from “Level One,” regardless of their background, age, or experience. This ensures a supportive, inclusive atmosphere that focuses on gradual progression and long-term results something that resonates strongly in today’s fitness landscape.
To bring this vision to life, he needed a complete gym fit-out from flooring and strength equipment to cardio machines and functional training zones. The space had to be not only visually appealing and durable, but also efficient, safe, and tailored to small group dynamics.

Solution
Key Equipment
- Bolt Strength Modular Pod (3-Bay): A heavy-duty, multi-functional center piece featuring custom Coill Dubh nameplates. This station allows multiple athletes to perform compound movements simultaneously, maximising training efficiency for squad sessions.
- Central Red-Lined Astro Turf Track: A high-durability synthetic turf lane running through the heart of the gym. This provides a dedicated zone for sled pushes, lunges, and plyometric drills while reinforcing the club’s color scheme.
- Bolt Range Cardio Suite: A selection of professional-grade cardiovascular machines, including Air Bikes, Rowers, and SkiErgs, specifically chosen to build the high-intensity metabolic conditioning required for modern Gaelic games.
- Vertical Olympic Bar Holders: Specialised storage designed to keep all lifting bars organised and upright. This ensures the floor remains clear of trip hazards during high-traffic team training sessions and protects the longevity of the equipment.
- Custom Club Branding: Integration of the Coill Dubh GAA aesthetic across equipment and nameplates to create an elite, professional environment that fosters team spirit.
