Family-run indie gyms get double fit out

A pair of gyms in Warminster, run independently by two sisters and their husbands, have both received a major equipment fit-out from Physical Company.

Studiobelle – a female focused gym with a strong emphasis on classes – was set up in 2014 by sisters Alex Mason and Liz Bunyard with their business partner Angie Bell. Following a consultation with Physical Company, the studio now boasts a wide range of brightly coloured Neo Hex dumbbells, Battling Ropes, kettlebells, strength bars, slam balls, medicine balls and stretch mats.

Physical Company has also fitted out The Armoury, a specialist strength and conditioning facility which operates in partnership with Studio Belle. Owned and managed by Nick Bunyard and Mark Mason (Liz and Alex’s respective husbands), the 600sq m (6,458sq ft) facility is also Warminster’s only CrossFit gym through its affiliation with CrossFit Civitas.

In keeping with its focus on functional fitness, the studio has now been fitted with Physical Company products such as dumbbell and kettlebell stacks and racks, Power bands and Wall balls – alongside Olympic bars, Battling Ropes, Stroops accelerator and Dawg sleds. The installation team also advised and fitted the facility with Bladerunner flooring and a Prowler Turf sprint track.

“Having known Physical Company for a few years I knew they’d be able to deliver on a wide range of products that were both durable and innovative for our members, so it was a no brainer really when deciding which company to supply our equipment,” said owner Nick Bunyard.

“As we look to expand our business I have no doubt that Physical Company will continue to support us in providing high quality equipment and exceptional service.”
