The autumn and winter months can have a direct impact on many people’s enthusiasm for keeping fit. Everything from going for a quick run to heading out to the gym can seem a lot less appealing when it’s pouring with rain. Thankfully, in London’s Wembley Park, residents of the new Ferrum building from lifestyle-led rental homes brand Tipi, won’t need to brave the elements in order to keep fit in serious style.
With these metal frame buildings being constructed from the ground up, Ferrum’s gym is one of the building’s most exciting features. This is no ordinary workout space. The raw, honest design reflects the distinctive, warehouse-style vibe of Ferrum’s apartments, which feature exposed copper pipework and brick, alongside leather John Lewis & Partners sofas and smooth wooden worktops. The gym takes that ambience to the next level, delivering a space that is both functional and inspiring.
The UK as a whole is making fitness a priority. The 2019 State of the UK Fitness Industry Report revealed that we are spending more on fitness than ever before. There are more gyms, with more members, while the industry’s total market value now exceeds £5 billion.
In the residential accommodation sector, an on-site gym has become a must-have for many renters. Tipi takes that fact and elevates it to the next level at Ferrum. The gym has been carefully designed around resident demographics and preferences in order to focus it fully on the needs of those living in Ferrum.
The gym features the latest cardio kit, plus boxing bags, a tyre flip, a tread wall and free weights. The equipment has been planned with versatility in mind, so that hanging equipment can be moved and swapped out based on residents’ preferences and the classes being held. The boxing bags, for example, can be changed for Olympic ring-style straps. This opens the door to a range of high-intensity classes using different equipment, as well as the option for residents to enjoy some one-to-one time with personal trainers should they wish to do so. All you need to do now is grab your workout joggers and head down to try it out for yourself.
