Grangemouth Sports Complex
Project Value: £450k
Completion Date: April 2023
Partners and suppliers: Workspace, Axiom, BGH, Hutchison Technologies, Les Mills
After the introduction of Scotland’s first Immersive spin studio at the Mariner Centre in January 2020, we are delighted to announce the opening of a second studio at Grangemouth Sports Complex.
Following practical completion of this project (procured through the UK Leisure Framework which is managed by Denbighshire Leisure), the new cycle studio has now opened its doors to the public. The space will utilise the latest virtual reality technology and programming to take riders of all abilities on a full immersive sensory adventure that will elevate the indoor cycling experience to a whole new level.
The new studio will be larger than the studio at the Mariner Centre, and contains double the number of bikes to accommodate more riders. The bikes will be the latest iteration of the world renowned M3i Keiser bikes offering participants access to one of the most technologically advanced static bikes on the market. In this cinema-scale experience, the 3.1m tall screen will showcase digitally created worlds, which customers can cycle through, taking their 40-minute multi-peak cycling workout to a different level and burning some serious calories!
In addition to instructor-led classes, virtual classes are also being launched. This gives the client the ability to offer safe, effective and highly motivating classes throughout the day – even during times that are traditionally quiet, such as the afternoons. Individuals will simply hop on a bike and be taken through a full workout by a digital coach viewed on a large screen. Click here for more information about Les Mill immersive fitness.
In approaching this major investment at Grangemouth Sports Complex, we once again used the UK Leisure Framework. The UK Leisure Framework has a proven track record in designing and creating innovative builds across the UK, which we experienced first-hand in the successful delivery of our first immersive cycle studio at the Mariner Leisure Centre in 2020.
We are grateful to have chosen to work with Alliance Leisure on this building project and would welcome the opportunity to work with them again in future.
