The gym is predominantly for the use of the University Students and Staff but is also open to external sport teams and general users.

According to ESP Director, Dr. Vern Neville “This is currently the best Strength Training Facility in the UK and the University of Strathclyde have raised the bar for University gyms. We are extremely proud to have worked with Neil Brown and his team on delivering such an amazing facility”

The ESP equipment features 5 x ESP Power Racks and 5 x ESP Half Racks with all accessories and flush fitted integrated Lifting Platforms with custom branding, Training Blocks, Jerk Blocks, ESP Bench Press, 14 x Adjustable Benches, 50 sets of custom branded Dumbbells, over 6 tons of custom branded Olympic Weights and Bars, Storage Racks and a large 3D Functional Frame. University of Strathclyde branding was incorporated throughout the facility.  ESP also supplied and installed over 600m2 of GYMflor™ IMPACT flooring, a new range of specialised acoustic gym flooring designed to reduce noise and vibration of dropped weights and impact activities. Each of the different floor surfaces were specifically constructed for energy absorption and flush fitted to provide a seamless flooring system throughout the S&C gym.

“I am really pleased on how things have come to fruition.  I believe that we have without doubt managed to gather together the best products on the market and the blend works really well in appearance and variety of functionality” Neil Brown (Head of Sport, University of Strathclyde)
