Custom Gyms Fitout
At Custom Gyms Ltd, we specialise in creating training spaces that meet the demands of high-level athletes. Our project at the High Performance Unit Galway brought together precision planning, premium equipment, and expert installation to deliver a facility built for serious strength and conditioning.
Here’s how we turned their vision into reality:
Step 1: Collaborative Design & Layout Optimisation
We worked closely with Robbie at the High Performance Unit’s coaching team to design a space optimised for high-volume strength training and speed work. The plan needed to allow for multiple athletes training at once, with smooth transitions between lifting and conditioning areas.
Step 2: Equipment Selection & Planning
To meet the demands of their training programme, we supplied and installed:
8 back-to-back squat racks — maximising floor space while allowing multiple users to lift simultaneously
Custom storage solutions to keep plates, bars, and accessories neatly organised
A 2m x 30m astro strip for sled pushes, speed drills, and movement work
Equipment
Step 3: EQUIPMENT REMOVAL & FITOUT
Our installation team assembled and positioned the back-to-back racks for optimal spacing, fitted the adjustable benches, mounted the storage systems, and securely laid the 30 metre astro strip. The layout ensures a seamless flow between heavy lifting, accessory work, and conditioning drills.
Step 4: Final Inspection & Handover
Before handover, we conducted a full inspection — checking all equipment for safety, ensuring stability, and confirming that the astro surface was level and secure. Once approved, the High Performance Unit was ready for its first high-intensity session.
