With an ever-increasing number of accessories now available to create a dynamic functional training space, storage is becoming a problem for many gym owners and operators.

At EXF we understand that every inch of space is at an absolute premium and our in-house team works closely with clients to come up with new ways to store equipment. Our solutions truly work – because they are built to fit the space perfectly. We know that ill-fitting off-the-shelf units rarely work as they don’t fill the space precisely, particularly if you have an unusual shape or dimensions in your gym or studio.

Most recently, EXF was chosen by Third Space to create and fit a bespoke storage unit at its Soho site. On the strength of this, further projects are planned for its clubs in Canary Wharf, Tower Bridge and the brand-new City Club. We specially designed each unit to fit the exact branded products and built in capacity to increase space at a later date. All the shelves are designed to ensure that specific dumbbells, kettlebells, slam balls and other equipment fit perfectly. The equipment is easy to access, and the member experience is straightforward as each storage unit is clearly labelled.

Starting with a blank canvas and with a wide variety of colour options at our disposal, EXF builds truly bespoke and flexible storage solutions to fit the bill perfectly every time.

“We’re delighted to be working with the Third Space on this latest project and to create a solution that is truly unique for them,” says Ben Steadman, business development director for EXF.

“Gym storage has evolved into a far more detailed discussion point now when we are dealing with all our clients. The need for bespoke, made-to-measure solutions is becoming the standard and we’re seeing a growing demand for this. Our extensive experience gives us confidence that we can create storage racks that maximise valuable space and are built to last.”
