Inside the Build: Solo60 Great Eastern

Solo60 delivers a unique private training experience across London. Each space is designed to maximise functionality in a compact footprint while remaining premium, versatile, and welcoming.

BLK BOX was tasked with creating a facility built for trainers, small groups, therapists, and content creators to support strength training, conditioning and HYROX inspired sessions with the versatility to be used for content spaces.

The Space

BLK BOX partnered with Solo60 with a clear brief to transform the Great Eastern basement into a private training studio built for HYROX inspired and functional fitness. The space needed to support sled work, strength and conditioning within a compact footprint, while still offering a wide range of training options.

A key priority was ensuring the studio did not feel small or restrictive. The plan centred on smart layout, premium equipment and an open feel, allowing athletes to train without limitations.

Key Equipment

A custom 1 Series Half Rack was selected to maximise space efficiency while delivering a premium, branded finish. A Dual Adjustable Pulley was also included to support multi-user sessions, making the space ideal for personal training and small group work. A full range of cable machine attachments was supplied to expand training options.

To keep the studio organised and clutter free, a Floor Mounted Barbell Holder was installed alongside 3 Tier Basecamp Storage for Rubber Hex Dumbbells and 4 Tier Basecamp Storage for Wall Balls, Medicine Balls, Slam Balls and Cast Iron Kettlebells.

To meet Solo60’s HYROX focused training requirements, the space was equipped with custom Turf, a Dog Sled and Utility Bumper Plates. A selection of barbells including a Hex Bar, Curl Bar and Belfast Bars further supports varied strength work.

Additional equipment such as our Leg Extension / Leg Curl Machine , Gym Rings and Battle Ropes were added to increase versatility and support a wide range of training styles.

The Result

Solo60 Great Eastern proves that size does not limit performance. The finished space delivers a premium private gym experience that feels capable, adaptable and unrestricted. It supports serious training while remaining approachable for everyday gym goers.

This build reflects Solo60’s commitment to creating spaces that work hard, look sharp, and support any style of training.

Jayne Lo, BLK BOX Business Development Manager, who played a key role in delivering the facility said:

 “The space had to support a wide range of users and training styles. Even HYROX training, which can be demanding in terms of equipment and space, was built into the design, making it possible to train properly without compromise in a private setting.”
