Case study
1 George's Quay: one gym for every company in the building
A shared gym for a multi-tenant office on Dublin's quays, designed with McSport and finished in October 2026. Within 24 hours of bookings opening, more than 240 inductions were booked.
How it works
Built for everyone in the building
1 George's Quay is home to several companies, so the gym had to work for all of them: first-timers and experienced lifters, early starters and lunchtime regulars. We consulted on the design concept from the first walk-round, worked with McSport on the equipment, and are now running inductions for every company in the building.
01 The Design Concept
We walked the space in September 2025 and drew up two concept designs, then showed the team gyms we already run, at SMBC and Hali, so they could see the ideas working.
02 Equipment With McSport
We brought in McSport to supply and install the equipment. When the budget was reviewed, we explained what each piece was for, and the full specification was approved, strength area and all.
03 Rules That Suit A Shared Building
Opening hours tied to the building's access hours, CCTV on the entrance only so people can train with privacy, and waiver and Code of Conduct templates for the building's insurers to approve.
04 A Launch Every Company Saw
We filmed an induction video and photos of the finished space. When the gym was shown at the occupiers' quarterly meeting, more than 300 people across five companies asked for an induction.
05 Inductions For Everyone
Online booking, our health and goals form before each induction, daily access lists for the building and a separate report for each company, with an 8-week Kickstart programme for new members.
Inside The Gym
A cardio zone along the windows with Life Fitness treadmills and Concept2 rowing, ski and bike machines, and a strength floor with Hammer Strength racks and benches, dumbbells, kettlebells and a cable station.
