Image: The gym facilities at Richmond College

motive8 - the UK consulting firm which specialises in gym and spa design - has completed an upgrade of fitness facilities at Richmond upon Thames College in Twickenham, London.

The college's gym is open to staff, students and members of the local community and work to renovate its offer was carried out with the aim of attracting new members.

As part of the project, motive8 has expanded the cardiovascular element with the addition of three Star Trac treadmills, two upright bikes and two further Octane Fitness cross trainers.

Newly-installed cardio theatre will allow users to watch three large wall-mounted televisions while they work out, while additional equipment has been provided in the free weights area.

Sports centre manager Mark Brough said: "Working with motive8 enabled us to improve the gym to provide a better facility and experience for our growing numbers of members."
