Project
Global travellers are increasingly seeking out active holidays that satisfy their need for physical and mental wellness. Farmhouse Fitness is a dynamic concept founded by Peutré Beukes and Hanna Crowén. Situated on a farm at the foot of the majestic Hottentots Holland mountain range, on the outskirts of Gordon’s Bay, Farmhouse Fitness offers tailor-made training and adventure packages to assist individuals in achieving their goals while on a holiday. In terms of training, Farmhouse Fitness’ guests are exposed to a multitude of fitness experiences. The team therefore needed a multi-functional space, filled with the right equipment, where groups could train throughout the day, enjoying both the exercise and the beautiful nature around them.
Solution
The Farmhouse Fitness gym is housed in a custom-built barn-style structure constructed by a Gym Concepts partner engineer. A custom-built wall-mounted rig forms the base of the open-plan facility, with six squat stations and maximum amount of area for push and pull exercises. The gym is equipped with essential functional training accessories including free-weight equipment, Olympic Weightlifting equipment, suspension trainers and air-based cardio units. The beauty of the solution, and the custom-built housing, is that the gym space itself extends easily to the outdoors, making training a free flowing and multidimensional experience.

AlphaState Timer
One of the most essential pieces for functional fitness facilities is a digital interval timer. This six digit timer offers a high quality screen with the clarity, sharpness, contrast and brightness to see the 100mm-high numbers from hundreds of meters away. Functions include: a clock display; alternate timing for training; rest and cycle times; count-up; countdown; stop watch; “Fight Gone Bad”; “TABATA”; 15min, 10min and 5min countdowns; as well as custom program options.
AlphaState Nemesis Barbells 20kg
The Alphastate 20kg Nemesis Bar is Alphastate’s premium Olympic Barbell suitable for athletes, functional, home- and garage-gym users. This 20kg barbell is manufactured from spring steel and has four needle bearings per black oxide hard chrome sleeve. Its 28mm diameter shaft sports dual knurling marks, making it useful for both powerlifting and weightlifting. Find the zone of peak performance, enter the Alphastate, defeat your personal best!
AlphaState Hi Temp Bumper Plate
Manufactured from nearly indestructible recycled vulcanized rubber and and sporting a stainless steel insert, Hi-temp bumper plates are an ideal addition to your weight- training arsenal. With a much softer surface than that of HG Bumpers, Hi-temp bumpers are a lot easier on your bar and flooring!
