Nottingham Forest F.C., UK
Purpose-built for performance: Nottingham Forest’s state-of-the-art training facility.
The new Nottingham Forest F.C. training facility was designed with several key objectives in mind. The primary goal was to create a spacious and efficient training environment capable of accommodating the entire team during sessions. The facility required ample floor and rack space alongside versatile equipment to support a variety of training needs. Additionally, the club prioritized designated areas for performance testing while encouraging a stimulating atmosphere essential for peak performance.
Bespoke elements of the facility, such as the custom-branded Prestera rack layout, eccentric pulley frame, and accessories storage, have been pivotal in tailoring the space to meet the club's requirements. Notably, the storage solutions integrated between the racks have enhanced the organization of the facility, improving session flow, reducing downtime between exercises, and increasing overall efficiency.
The custom pulley frame provides a dedicated area for specialized exercises to be executed, offering flexibility for a wide range of movements essential to strength and conditioning. These bespoke features have optimized the use of space while ensuring the facility aligns with the club's high-performance objectives.
Commenting on the refurbishments, Adam Burrows, Performance Services Lead at Nottingham Forest Football Club, said:
“We chose Eleiko due to their quality and reputation as an industry leader in strength and conditioning equipment. We needed equipment that was not only high-performing but also visually professional, complementing the club’s elite environment.
Eleiko's ability to provide bespoke equipment allowed us to design the gym to our specific needs which was essential in creating a personalized and optimal training space for our players.
The Prestera racks offer great versatility with a range of attachments, enabling multiple players to train simultaneously and improving the efficiency of sessions. The variety of equipment options supports more diverse training and caters to the squad's varying performance goals.
A swift and seamless installation was crucial in preparing the club for pre-season training, and Eleiko made the refurbishment process efficient and stress-free, ensuring our requirements were met without compromise.”
