BLK BOX & Marchon: Establishing the New Gold Standard in Fitness
31 Oct 2023
Marchon Stratford is a multi-functional space designed for versatility / BLK BOX / Marchon
As Marchon unveils its new Stratford location this collaboration underscores BLK BOX's commitment to supporting Marchon's vision of creating unparalleled training environments.
Marchon, with its roots in Harpenden and a flourishing social media presence, has expanded its footprint with the opening of Marchon LDN. This new facility, recently voted one of the world's best gyms by Men's Health is a testament to Marchon's dedication to providing unparalleled fitness experiences. The gym's aesthetic appeal, combined with its functional prowess, is evident from the moment you step through the door. The iconic video wall, seamless flooring, 7-bays of Stainless Steel BLK BOX Nexus Racks are just a few of the standout features within this facility.
Miles Canning, Commercial Director at BLK BOX, commented: "Collaboration and long-standing partnerships are central to our success. We're extremely proud to have played a role in supporting the Marchon brand's continual evolution. With shared philosophies toward training and a vision to create world-class training environments, it's been a privilege to collaborate again with the Marchon team."
Marchon Stratford is not just a gym; it's a multi-functional space designed for versatility. Whether hosting a sweat class, serving as a brand activation space for a photoshoot, or facilitating small group personal training sessions, the facility is designed to seamlessly transition, epitomizing Marchon's "Without Limits" mantra.
Oliver Marchon, Founder at Marchon, shared his perspective: "Our London site's recognition in Men's Health Magazine as one of ‘The World's Best Gyms’ is a testament to our dedicated team, vibrant community, and the support of BLK BOX. Since our first project in 2014, BLK BOX has been fundamental in each evolution of our facilities. With exciting ventures on the horizon in 2024, I'm truly optimistic about what the future holds for Marchon, partnered with BLK BOX."
