THE CLIENT
CrossFit North London is located in Wood Green, North London and is one of the largest training centres in London. Gerard Andrews is the owner of North London Strength and Conditioning (NLSC) which hosts CrossFit North London within NLSC. This business model allows the facility to offer a variety of training models, not limiting himself to the CrossFit market. The aim was to create a space where CFNL could run both CrossFit and group classes.
THE PROJECT
CrossFit North London has built a reputation for promoting fitness of all levels and abilities and providing a diverse range of classes. BLK BOX were contacted to help strengthen Gerard’s CrossFit offering. A key feature for this gym was the flooring. Whilst many owners think about equipment first and flooring later, CrossFit North London understood the importance of laying the right foundations in order to protect the subfloor and the equipment invested into the facility.
There were a number of different flooring solutions laid throughout CFNL, 9,000ft² industrial unit to help divide the area without internal patricians. Our 8mm Utility tile was laid within the CrossFit area. This option offers easy and fast installation with a virtually seamless appearance, ideal for CFNL. The client stated in his brief that this facility wasn’t his ‘forever gym’ and plans to move in a number of years. This helped dictate how the flooring was laid to ensure it easy to lift and reuse in years to come. The facility also received the BLK BOX black agility turf which ran for 25m throughout one side of the facility.
BLK BOX supplied and installed a custom wall mounted 5 Bay Samson High Bar rig, powder coated in black alongside custom branded plates. The rig spans 14 metres long and can have up to 20 people working simultaneously.

TESTIMONIAL
"I am very happy with my decision to work with BLK BOX to kit out my new premises. Miles and his team were extremely professional and worked exceptionally hard to get the job done on time. I was fully informed of how things would look with digital images which were very helpful when planning the layout.
I would highly recommend BLK BOX to anyone looking to fit out their gym." - Gerard Andrews, Owner of CrossFit North London
