Prestigious home gym at 41 Cadogan Square
Client introduction
41 Cadogan Square is an established luxury residential address in Belgravia, London. The property was undergoing complete refurbishment, with the management company recognising that a dedicated basement gym would enhance the home's market appeal and guest experience. The refurbishment represented a comprehensive upgrade of the entire property, of which the gym facility became an integral component.
The challenge
Installing a premium gym in a basement space presented multiple technical and design challenges:
Environmental control: Air conditioning and lighting requirements to create a functional, aesthetically appealing space
Access logistics: Bulky equipment that cannot navigate narrow doorways or stairwells from street to basement
Design integration: The gym needed to complement the property's upmarket minimalist aesthetic, not appear utilitarian
Why they chose Fit Hire
Fit Hire demonstrated clear understanding of the dual requirements: technical facility design combined with luxury aesthetic integration. The team showed expertise in managing the logistical complexities of equipment delivery and installation within existing architectural constraints, and the ability to work collaboratively with the broader refurbishment project without disruption. Fit Hire's approach prioritised the client's design vision alongside practical fitness functionality.
Solution and implementation
Fit Hire worked collaboratively with the refurbishment team to develop a basement gym design that balanced functionality with luxury aesthetics rather than treating these as competing objectives.
The strategic approach centred on selecting a minimalist equipment configuration that would become part of the interior design language rather than appearing as an afterthought or separate utility space.
Key decisions:
Equipment positioning and finishing integrated visually with the wider aesthetic
Professional air conditioning specified for year-round comfort
Strategic mirror placement to enhance light and perceived space
Logistics management to work within architectural constraints without disrupting the refurbishment timeline
