Project
Harbour Bay Mall, situated in Simon’s Town, boasts a variety of retail offerings, ranging from upmarket eateries to premium convenience stores in a coastal, comfortable environment.
Harbour Bay identified a strong need to add a boutique fitness centre to its greater offering to better service the catchment area of Simon’s Town and its surrounds. As a solution, the Ocean Edge Fitness facility would need to provide a multi-functional and supportive environment for individuals of all fitness levels and abilities.
Solution
As a boutique gym, Ocean’s Edge Fitness needed to be multi-functional space catering to individuals and personal trainers. The solution balanced aspects of cardio, isolation strength, free weights and functional training in a 212 m² space meticulously planned for optimal flow.
The cardio offering included energy efficient SportsArt treadmills, self-powered SportsArt Indoor Cycles, a self-powered SportsArt Elliptical, as well as an AlphaState Rowerg and Air Bike. Spatially, the pieces were oriented towards the spectacular ocean view that gives the gym its name. Key isolation strength pieces from SportsArt were laid out in the centre of the space, with functional and free-weight equipment, rigging and storage hugging the edges of the gym to keep the floor open and free for movement.
With spectacular ocean views, as well as a multi-functional equipment offering, Ocean Edge Fitness is perfectly kitted out for its users. The inclusion of energy efficient and self-powered cardio, however, adds extra value by making the gym less reliant on grid-supplied energy, in the long run, cutting costs for the gym, its users, and the environment.
