Complete Aesthetic & Practical Revitalisation
As the design and build contractor for JD Gyms Batley, our objective was to modernise the facility, optimise the gym’s internal flow, and support the transition to an upgraded 24-hour operational model. The project required both creative restructuring and high-quality finishing to deliver a space that feels fresh, functional, and future-proof.
A major milestone of the refurbishment was transforming the old studio area into a 24-hour, all-access functional zone. This dynamic space now features a multi-purpose rig, new prowler lanes, squat racks, and a dedicated throwing wall, giving members a versatile performance environment at any time of day. The redesign maximised the footprint while maintaining safe circulation and training flexibility.
By removing the metal mesh partition that previously enclosed the “Burn” area, we were able to expand and open up the free weights section. This change significantly improved visibility, accessibility, and training capacity, creating a more inclusive and better-connected strength environment for members.
The old spin studio was repurposed into a dedicated glute-focused zone, complete with new halo mirrors to elevate the space and support technique-driven training. This specialist room adds a premium feel and meets growing member demand for targeted lower-body training options.
We enhanced the gym’s digital infrastructure by installing a new centrally controlled digital screen. This upgrade streamlines communication with members, providing clear, up-to-date information on instructors, personal trainers, and studio offerings, while aligning with JD Gyms’ ambition for a more connected user experience.
Aesthetic and practical improvements were delivered throughout the site, including a refreshed entrance lobby designed to be bright, open, and welcoming. New lighting was installed across the gym and changing areas, while flooring received a comprehensive overhaul with new rubber, carpet works, and upgraded finishes. Custom joinery bag-drop lockers were added to provide secure 24-hour storage when changing rooms are closed, ensuring round-the-clock convenience for all members.
