Inside the Build: West Ham United FC

BLK BOX was chosen to design and install a custom gym for West Ham United FC’s first team at their training ground. This installation needed to support elite athletes with high-performance equipment and a design that reflects the club’s iconic branding.
With a focus on space optimisation, customisation, and quick turnaround times, we worked closely with the team to create a facility that meets both functional and aesthetic requirements.
The Brief

West Ham FC approached BLK BOX to design a gym that would serve their first team athletes with a highly functional training space. The gym needed to:
- Reflect the club’s branding: Ensure the gym matches West Ham's visual identity.
- Optimise space: Design a layout that maximises the available space.
- Accommodate intense training: Support the team’s demanding workout schedules.
- Be delivered within a tight timeframe: Ensure quick project completion.
The club wanted a facility that not only looked the part but was built to withstand the demands of professional athletes. Our job was to create an environment that allowed for performance testing, explosive training, and everything in between.
