Designing a Rooftop Gym for a Boutique Hotel
The Brief
A new boutique hotel in a trendy neighbourhood is catering to health-conscious travellers. With limited indoor space, the architects and interior designers opted for a rooftop gym by the pool instead of a dedicated room.
The hotel team wanted versatile gym equipment that could be moved aside to accommodate rooftop yoga sessions. Their wish-list included cardio machines, strength training equipment, and yoga essentials. Understanding their guests’ focus on wellness, they also incorporated cold plunges for post-workout recovery.
The Proposal
1. Strength: For the guests' strength training we suggested the PENT. Banka exercise bench, the PENT. Lova - Kettlebells and PENT. Colmia - Dumbbells, both on a vertical stand. The vertically stored weights gave this outdoor gym a neat, spacious feel, while ensuring easy access. We also added the PENT. Kalna bulgarian bags, PENT. Moxa medicine balls and PENT. Lipova pushup bars which are stored neatly on the PENT Stora.
2. Cardio: For cardio we suggested the NOHRD Bike and NOHRD Sprintbok a manual treadmill. Both these offer dynamic, full-body workouts, require no electric plug ins and are suitable for long-term use.
3. Mobility: The all in one the PENT. Stora was perfect for this rooftop gym. It elegantly holds multiple equipment pieces including yoga mats, yoga blocks, balance trainers, stretching foam rollers, and skipping ropes.
