Kilkenny RFC
Custom Gyms Fitout
At Custom Gyms Ltd, we take pride in delivering gym spaces that are functional, durable, and tailored to our clients’ exact needs. Our project with Kilkenny Rugby Football Club was a perfect example of that process in action — upgrading an existing gym into a high-performance training facility for athletes of all levels.
Step 1: Layout Optimisation
We began by working closely with the Kilkenny RFC coaching team to understand their training goals. The layout was designed for rugby-specific performance — allowing smooth movement between lifting zones, conditioning areas, and recovery spaces, while maximising the available floor space.
The Custom Gyms Wall-Mounted Rig is a rock-solid training structure designed to maximise performance without compromising floor space. Ideal for strength training, pull-ups, suspension work, and modular attachments, this rig delivers commercial-grade durability in a compact, wall-secured format.
Key Features:
Heavy-Duty Steel Frame: Made from premium, laser-cut steel with a durable powder-coated finish for long-lasting performance
Wall-Mounted Design: Saves floor space while maintaining full functionality for strength and functional training
Integrated Pull-Up Bars: Perfect for bodyweight movements, gymnastics rings, bands, or TRX
Modular & Expandable: Add squat bays, storage, dip attachments, landmines, or wall ball targets as needed
J-Hooks included
Ideal For:
CrossFit boxes and functional fitness gyms
PT studios with limited space
GAA clubs looking for compact strength solutions
Home gyms wanting commercial-level equipment
Facilities needing custom rig setups on a wall-based footprint
Step 2: Equipment Selection & Planning
We handpicked a range of equipment to deliver maximum versatility and durability for team training:
Wall-mounted racks for strength work without taking up excess floor space
Adjustable benches for a variety of upper and lower body exercises
Wall-mounted bumper plate storage to keep the training area organised and safe
Universal storage trolley for easy movement of smaller equipment
Hex dumbbells for strength and accessory training
Kettlebells for power, conditioning, and functional movement work
