Ridgeway’s modern designs to cater for all
Ridgeway Furniture has supplied bespoke modern changing room and reception products at two London health clubs.
In the changing room at Fitness First in Bishopsgate, members can charge phones and tablets in one of 32 secure charging lockers. Ridgeway also created an interactive reception TV station unit that displays classes and personal trainer details, which the user can scroll through. It also supplied a white Corian unit where two iPads are available for members to use.
At another Fitness First site in Fetter Lane, Ridgeway installed lockers of various heights, including some with long drops for local lawyers who need to store long coats and gowns while using the gym.

Bowfield changing facilities crafted anew
Craftsman Lockers recently fitted out new changing rooms at the Bowfield Hotel and Country Club in Howwood, Renfrewshire – part of the Manorview Hotels and Leisure Group in Scotland.
Working alongside interior designers Space ID, the locker specialist upgraded the member and hotel guest changing areas, as well as creating a new family changing area with self-contained facilities designed specifically for disabled users.
Now on offer are walnut Maximizer-style lockers for spa and hotel guests and health club members. The lockers are keyless and use battery-operated digital locks.

Hyatt Regency Amala Spa chooses KitLock
The Hyatt Regency Amala Spa and leisure club in Birmingham, UK, has chosen KitLock keyless locker locks for its changing rooms.
The spa and leisure club, part of the Hyatt Regency hotel, installed 150 coded KitLock 1000 locks, manufactured by Codelocks, across its male and female changing rooms. Guests now enter a four-digit code on the keypad to ‘lock and go’.
The new locks have solved the problem of keys going missing, which had left many of the previous key-opening lockers out of action.

Fitness First Middle East chooses Ojmar
Ojmar’s OCS Locker lock has been installed in changing rooms at two Fitness First locations in Dubai.
The digital locks are designed to provide an easy to use solution where customers enter a four-digit code to open the lock. If the user forgets their code, staff can open and relock it using a separate lock device. The lock can also be configured by the club to open automatically after a set period of time, to guarantee locker availability.
An LED on each lock shows which lockers are already in use.
