Changing rooms: Fitness-kit.net special – Changing places

We round up some of the latest news and product launches from the world of lockers and changing rooms

Published in Health Club Management 2015 issue 2

Dramatic refresh

A recent changing room refurbishment at a Life Leisure gym has seen dramatic black and white lockers installed. Life Leisure Hazel Grove leisure centre, in Stockport, appointed Craftsman Lockers to refresh its male and female changing areas, which also included the fitting of red faux leather seat upholstery in the female area, new showers and toilets with granite-style panelling, and flat-screen televisions in both areas.
Hazel Grove is the latest of several Life Leisure sites in which Craftsman has installed a changing area provision. Another project was at the Life Leisure Grand Central Pools, also in Stockport and home to the Metro club, which has nurtured many of Britain’s Olympic swimmers.

Gantner says the lock has a battery life of 10 years and can be easily integrated into existing lockers.

Battery power

A new offline, battery-operated locker solution from Gantner offers a convenient and aesthetically pleasing method of locking.

The cable- and maintenance-free ECO.Side Lock is operated using an NFC-device or RFID data carrier – a membership card, wristband or key fob, for example. Features include an alarm protection system and an intuitive LED display to provide security and user-friendliness.

The design of the ECO.Side Lock, with its flat front surface, ensures it blends in with the background and also offers protection against vandalism. The system can also be fitted with customised door labels.

Budget gym chain easyGym has selected Helmsman to provide lockers and cubicles across its sites.

The Suffolk-based manufacturer, working for construction company LoveBuild, has so far provided its wet specification heavy-duty lockers – as well as WC cubicles, ducting, shower cubicles and vanities – across a number of easyGym facilities. The aim is to create a “sleek, contemporary feel within the changing areas” for gym users.

Several easyGym sites were refurbished in 2014.
