Blk Box completes latest outdoor gym project in Dubai
BELFAST-based Blk Box has completed a major outdoor gym project at the Jumeirah Beach hotel complex in Dubai.
It's the latest in a series of projects the company has recently undertaken successfully in the Middle Eastern market, including in Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Equipment made in Belfast and supplied by Blk Box for the 300 sq metres outdoor gym included a customised outdoor rig showcasing the Jumeirah Beach Hotel brand.
Located just steps from the beach, the open-air facility allows hotel guests and VIPs access to a world-class outdoor fitness area.
As part of the project, Blk Box worked with its partner Vivo Fitness to provide the club with a full turnkey solution including impact flooring, custom turf track, acoustic underlay, rigs and accessories, as well as civil works consulting.
The project follows the installation of Blk Box equipment at the gym in The J Club, an indoor fitness club inside the iconic Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
Blk Box is one of the UK's leading manufacturers of strength and conditioning equipment and specialises in the design and fit-out of world class training facilities.
Founded eight years ago by Belfast entrepreneur Greg Bradley, it is headquartered in Belfast's Titanic Quarter, where it employs 60 people in a manufacturing, distribution and office facility.
The firm's commercial director Miles Canning said: “We've completed a series of projects in the Middle East and developed excellent relationships with partners based there. They have continually turned to Blk Box for our team’s expertise and experience, as well as the quality of our equipment, which is manufactured in Belfast.”
