Four glued mirrors and an Easy Clean sports floor complete the studio. The budget indication was between € 12,500 and € 15,000, including installation.

The assignment
The assignment was to furnish a space of approximately 40 m² as a professional training studio, with room for strength training, cardio, and functional training. Specifically, this involved:
- A strength zone with a rack including a smith machine, a weight bench, and a Roman chair.
- A cardio line with a treadmill, an exercise bike, and a SkiErg.
- Free weights and functional tools: hexagon dumbbells from 5 to 30 kg, wall balls, and powerbags, each with its own rack.
- The finish: a sports floor across the entire room and four mirrors.
- Delivery and installation at a difficult-to-reach location.
Our approach
The Martech M8 3IN1 is the central strength station of the studio. It combines a smith machine, a half rack, and cables in one frame. For a personal trainer, this is practical: squats, presses, rows, and cable exercises are performed in one place, without having to move from machine to machine with your client. The HD3000 weight bench and the Roman chair complement the strength section.
For cardio, three machines were added, each serving a different purpose: the Pro Run treadmill for walking or running, the EMB-600 exercise bike for cycling with low impact on the joints, and a SkiErg that also engages the upper body. This allows a client to warm up or work on their fitness on the machine that suits them best.
The free weights are organized on their racks: the hexagon dumbbell set from 5 to 30 kg on a two-tier rack, the wall balls (4, 6, and 8 kg) and the powerbags (5, 10, and 15 kg) on a storage rack. This keeps the floor clear for functional exercises. The four mirrors measuring 160 x 100 cm are glued, allowing both trainer and client to monitor their technique while making the space feel larger.
The entire surface is fitted with an Easy Clean sports floor in Pure black, using 100 x 100 x 2 cm tiles. Ramping profiles along the edges ensure a neat transition to the rest of the floor.
The result
A compact studio where strength, cardio, and functional training each have their own place.
The installation
The studio is located in a hard-to-reach spot, which required extra handling to get the heavy equipment inside. Our team arrived on site with two people: they laid the sports floor with ramping profiles, attached the mirrors, and assembled and adjusted all the equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment do you need for a PT studio?
A solid foundation consists of a strength station with a rack, Smith machine, and cables, a weight bench, a few pieces of cardio equipment, and free weights such as dumbbells, wall balls, and powerbags. This allows you to combine strength, conditioning, and functional training in a single space.
How much space does a PT studio with strength and cardio equipment require?
At The Centre of Body & Mind, that was approximately 40 m², which is enough for an M8 3IN1, a weight bench, three pieces of cardio equipment, free weight racks, and open floor space for functional exercises.
Do you also deliver and install in the Netherlands?
Yes. Our in-house team delivers and installs throughout the entire Benelux region, even in hard-to-reach locations such as this studio in Sassenheim.
