Gym Marine Yachts & Interiors have today announced a new offering in complement to their already industry-leading services, GM+.

GM+ is a carefully curated package of enhanced warranty support and on-going service provisions, which sees Gym Marine’s standard international warranty cover enhanced over two years with crew training, maintenance plans, an annual service, and remote support via video link from senior technicians.

Gym Marine+

“Building on our already industry leading services, this package of service and support has only been made possible as a result of our international logistical network and our excellent relationships with suppliers. The standard level of post-install support offered by Gym Marine to its clients I feel is already exemplary, but now we can enhance that and achieve a level of service that’s truly exceptional.” – Edward Thomas, Director, Gym Marine Yachts & Interiors.

GM+ can be purchased alongside any new build or superyacht refit project that Gym Marine are involved with and represents incredible value for money. Taking the offering of GM+ a step further, the company has also created a series of kits with spare parts to keep equipment in action while cruising offshore for extended periods, and mitigate the risk of long lead times for replacement parts.

Gym Marine is pleased to confirm that they already have two yachts signed and under contract with GM+, a 90m refit project, which is now operational again, and a 100m+ new build that will be launching in 2024.

“Our extensive experience on an enormous array of projects means we can pre-empt these risks, we know what parts get easily misplaced, and how to ensure seamless fault resolution for the crew, charter guests or owner. On a superyacht, having an item of equipment out of action, simply isn’t acceptable and we won’t let that happen.” – Ed Thomas, Director, Gym Marine Yachts & Interiors.

A gym rack is now one of the most requested pieces of equipment for our gym design projects. Their versatility allows numerous strength training exercises to be performed all within one space. Most importantly, it is an excellent addition to any gym as it supports users lifting heavy weights, exceeding their abilities in a safe and reliable setup.

Every gym is different and all individuals will have particular training goals, so choosing the right rack may seem daunting. As always, Gym Marine Yachts & Interiors are here to help. From serious weightlifters, to the garage gym owners whose space is a premium, we’ve chosen a selection of gym racks to suit all.

TRAIN LIKE A CHAMPION

Eleiko strength training equipment is well-known worldwide. Their products can be seen in lifting events and have been part of 5 Olympic and Paralympic Games, certificated by the IWF, part of 40 World Championships and the supplier for IPF and World Para Powerlifting. So, for those that want the elite experience, Eleiko is your gym rack of choice.

The Eleiko XF 80 Power Rack is a multifunctional strength training station. Its design is sleek with a matte black finish that will integrate seamlessly into the interior of any gym. Both striking and sturdy, the strong steel cage ensures users lift in confidence and can withstand the toughest of training.

The beauty of the Eleiko gym rack is that it can be customised with multiple attachments such as a dip station or platform to absorb the shock and sound of weights. Furthermore, additional storage can be included to hold kettlebells and dumbbells.

Gym Racks

Exceptional Accessories

More than squats and lunges, gym rack attachments can maximise the use of a training station. Built with unique features which all comes as a standard with the set, the attachments on the Primal Strength V3.0 Half Rack are impressive.

The accessories allow users to target all major muscle groups. Attached to the base of this gym rack is a landmine row to perform T-Bar Rows, press variations, as well as additional lower body movements.

However, the Chin-Up bar is the true stand out feature with multiple training variations. Use the straight bar for standard pull-ups, the dome attachments to improve grip and the multi-grip handles to perform a range of chin-ups. The handles also turn 360 degrees, have three different thickness grips and an adjustable distance!

Compact Yet Strong Gym Rack

When floor space is a premium, the idea of a gym rack may seem impossible. For every problem, there is a solution and for this issue, a folding wall gym rack is the answer. This cleverly designed rack creates additional space when the rack is not in use for functional training, stretching and more.

Quick and easy to build, the Gym Gear Warrior Folding Wall Rack only takes 30 seconds to set up. It ensures the surrounding space is maximised with a distance of 62cm from the wall when constructed. Then once it has been folded away, it is only 11cm from the wall!

Build your own Gym Rack

For unusual areas with awkward corners and low ceiling heights, or for those that have extremely specific strength training requirements, a bespoke gym rack is the way to go.

At Gym Marine Yachts & Interiors, our team has years of experience of designing and installing equipment for obscure layouts. We can work with clients to create a gym rack that is made specifically for their gym and tailored to their fitness goals.

When it comes to the design of the gym rack, the options are endless. The colour scheme can match that of the surrounding elements throughout the property, for a truly luxurious finish.

There has been a shift in what consumers look for in products, with more consideration towards the environment. This can be seen in daily activities, from buying food from local farmers, to purchasing clothes from eco-friendly businesses. The IBM reported in 2021, that 54% of consumers are willing to pay a premium for brands that are sustainable and/or environmentally responsible. The fitness industry is no exception, with more manufacturers beginning to produce sustainable gym equipment.

At Gym Marine Yachts & Interiors, we have been witness to the increasing demand for sustainable gym equipment. Our clients, both on land and at sea, design and build their properties and yachts with the latest energy efficient technology. When it comes to the gym, the sustainability of the equipment is just as important to many of our clients.

In this blog, we’ve chosen our top pieces of sustainable gym equipment for those eco-conscious buyers who want to make their gym greener. Selecting equipment with natural materials, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and energy saving qualities.

Cardio

Sustainable Gym Equipment

Self-powered treadmills have become popular within many wellness areas. A running machine completely powered by the force of the users, workouts on this piece of sustainable gym equipment are intense.

A particular model which has multiple eco-friendly qualities is the NOHrD Sprintbok Treadmill. Made with natural materials, the frame is solid hardwood, whilst the treadmill belt features 62 movable wooden slats with a linoleum top layer. The distinctive curved design provides the users with a natural running feeling and allows them to stay in control of their own speed.

Behind the scenes, the manufacturing of the treadmill is as sustainable as the equipment design. They source wood from sustainably managed forests which is then processed at their facility ensuring that there is no wastage of materials. In addition to this, they produce their own solar power for the factory for sustainable gym equipment solutions from beginning to end.

Rowing Machines are the usual go-to for sustainable gym equipment, mainly due to their near to no energy consumption. However, besides this factor, not much else about them is sustainable and many heavily feature plastic.

WaterRower have set themselves apart by focusing on producing rowing machines that are environmentally friendly. Each rower is handmade in the US with sustainably sourced hardwood which comes in a selection of finishes. The careful construction of these pieces of sustainable gym equipment ensures that they will stand the test of time.

For every Appalachian tree used to make the WaterRower products, 2.5 more grow in its place. Since 2007, a billion trees have been added to the region which they source their wood. This means that every second, more wood than it takes to construct a WaterRower is grown back.

Strength

Sustainable Gym Equipment

In weight training, the selection of sustainable gym equipment is limited. Dumbbells, olympic plates and kettlebells often have a rubber coating to protect flooring and prevent scratching when dropping equipment.

New to the fitness scene are the Paragon Studio Diabolo Dumbbells. Made with natural materials, the design of these free weights has been focused on sustainability, and the whole collection is plastic free. The handles are crafted with FSC certified wood and where possible they locally source to further reduce the product’s carbon footprint. Each dumbbell is bespoke to the client and is made-to-order, therefore there is never any surplus stock or additional unnecessary energy consumption.

Once customers have received their Paragon Studio products, their dedication to the environment doesn’t end there. This sustainable gym equipment has a lifetime warranty for mechanisms and structural integrity. They repair products rather than simply replacing them and offer a full refurbishment service to ensure equipment continues to look and perform beautifully.

Accessories

Sustainable Gym Equipment

Within commercials gyms and studios, yoga mats commonly feature plastic and rubber. However, for those who regularly practice yoga, in most cases they prefer to bring their own and invest in higher quality mats.

The Yoga Eco Cork Mat is exceptional for its eco-friendly qualities. Made from recycled, sustainable and biodegradable materials, its design is beautiful and functional. The mat provides excellent grip and improves throughout yoga practice when sweating. It also has natural anti-bacterial qualities as the cork bark eradicates germs and bacteria avoiding any bad odours.

REFURBISHED SUSTAINABLE GYM EQUIPMENT

Reuse and recycle, it is a key message throughout the world, and it is one that we adopt at Gym Marine Yachts & Interiors for an alternative for sustainable gym equipment. For instance, many of our clients already have gym equipment when they contact us for their new gym design. When they wish to upgrade their machines, we take their old equipment, refurbish, and resell it in near perfect condition.

Kind on the environment and the wallet!

For those that enjoy the finer things in life, a beautifully designed luxury gym with state-of-the-art equipment is a must. Whether you want something personalised, or a stand out feature within your gym, one piece of equipment can certainly offer this, luxury dumbbells. We have highlighted some of the most stunning dumbbells we have available.

GM Custom Classic Dumbbells

Luxury Dumbbells

Following years of client feedback and requests for items, materials or features which weren’t available, we created our GM Custom range. Our first items within the range are luxury dumbbells. From their marine grade stainless steel ends to their gorgeous wooden handles, they are functional whilst still maintaining their beauty.

Nowadays you can personalise just about anything, so why not dumbbells? The bespoke end plates on our Classic dumbbells are customisable, you can design them to feature a logo, initials or anything else you desire. Handles can also be tailored from a choice of woods, including oak and walnut. Alternatively, if you have a specific wood or material throughout the gym interior, we can source these to feature on your luxury dumbbells. Creating a truly bespoke showcase piece for your luxury gym design.

GM Custom Diabolo Dumbbells

luxury dumbbells

Similar to our Classic design, our Diabolo Dumbbells also feature stunning bespoke end plates and wooden handles. However, unique to our Diabolo luxury dumbbells is the anti-roll design. They are particularly popular with our superyacht clients, as they are ideal onboard. Furthermore, we are able to manufacture custom racks for both the Classic and Diabolo dumbbells. From horizontal, a-frame or classic saddle racks, they will ensure your luxury dumbbells seamlessly fit into your environment.

Hock Goldloft Gold Dumbbells

Hock Goldloft Gold Dumbbells

Undoubtedly the most extravagant dumbbells out of our selection, and in the world! These Hock Goldloft Gold luxury dumbbells are a work of art and would be the centre piece for any room, not just the gym! One-of-a-kind, these dumbbells feature 100 percent rare grenadilla wood and are finished in 18 karat yellow gold. Each dumbbell is delicately handmade to order in Germany.

If that’s not enough luxury for you, once purchased they are hand delivered directly to you by the manufacturer in a stunning presentation box, no matter where you are in the world. However, these luxury dumbbells come with a hefty price tag and will set you back £90K.

Hock Diskus Dumbbells Tower Set

Hock Diskus Dumbbells Tower Set

If their 18 karat gold dumbbells are out of your budget, slightly more affordable luxury dumbbells from Hock are their Diskus range. Launched for clients who required heavier weights but still wanted a sophisticated luxury dumbbell. Each element has been meticulously thought out. From the subtle matt shimmer on the metal finish to the wooden bars which swell in the middle, making it easier to hold.

Concept2 vs WaterRower, for some rowers it’s an age-old question! Indoor rowing has become vastly popular, which isn’t surprising due to its numerous benefits. Rowing is a great cardio workout for both aerobic and anaerobic training, burning around 600 calories per hour.

Along with cardio, it also provides strength training, working 84% of muscle mass. Indoor rowing targets major muscle groups including shoulders, abdominals and quads, the ideal machine for a full body workout.

Unlike other equipment, rowing machines are perfect for those that require a low impact workout, with no jarring and smooth transitioning. Whether you are a competitive rower or looking for an alternative workout, indoor rowing is suitable for all levels of fitness.

Keen rowers are often divided on which machine is the best for indoor rowing. Here at Gym Marine, we have compared the performance, mechanisms and design of two of the most popular rowing machines on the market: Concept2 vs WaterRower.

Concept2 vs WaterRower: the case for Concept2

With over 40 years’ experience, Concept2 know how to make top-quality indoor rowers. There are 3 different types of Concept2 rowers: Model D, Model E and the Dynamic, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your needs.

concept2 vs waterrower

Concept2 - Performance

Performance monitors are included with all Concept2 rowing machines, known as PM5. Easy to operate, the PM5 records your workout as soon as you begin. Alternatively, you can select your pre-set, favourite or past workouts before you start.

Your distance, speed, pace, calories and watts are recorded and displayed on the PM5. Wireless connectivity allows you to record all your data on apps including Concept2’s ErgData app and heart rate monitors. Data can be stored on the machine itself or on a USB, which can be updated on Concept2’s utility software.

If you’re needing motivation, or just a bit of fun, PM5 includes games. Or, if you’re looking for competition, you can race your friends in the same room or different countries!

Concept 2 vs Water Rower

Concept2 - Mechanisms

All Concept2 models include a damper, allowing you to adjust the airflow to change the feel of the stroke depending on what workout you want.

If you want a similar experience to rowing on water, Concept2’s Dynamic model has a floating footrest. Moving back and forth along the monorail, it requires the same techniques as rowing in a boat and great for sport training. It’s light weight, high-strength cord is particularly beneficial if you are aiming for high stroke rates.

Model’s D and E are alike. Both with adjustable footrests for varied foot sizes, nickel-plated chains and a comfortable handle to support your natural arm and hand positioning. They are great for beginners to competitive rowers.

Concept2 vs WaterRower

Concept2 - Design

Each model is simple to store. Model’s D and E separate into two pieces, whereas the Dynamic rower is stored as one as it only measures at 76in (193cm).

Concept2 have also considered all ranges of accessibility. Model D’s seat height is lower, whereas Model E is 6 inches higher. Perfect for those with limited mobility or who enjoy a raised view.

Concept2 vs WaterRower: the case for WaterRower

The official water rowing machine of British rowing, WaterRower was formed in 1988. Since then they have expanded from the USA to the UK, Australia and Asia, growing in popularity.

Concept2 vs Waterower

WaterRower - Performance

All WaterRowers come with a monitor to measure your performance on each workout. They offer two monitors, S4 or A1.

Measuring time, distance, speed, intensity, stroke rate and heart rate, the S4 is the most inclusive monitor, as the A1 doesn’t record heart rate.

Concept2 vs Waterrower

WaterRower - Mechanisms

The unique feature of WaterRower machines is the WaterFlyWheel. It reproduces the precise dynamics of a moving boat, similar to water moving over the hull of the boat. The self-regulated resistance of the WaterRower means you are in control, the harder you row, the faster you go. Allowing you to set the pace, the machine is suitable for all ages and ability.

Comfort is vital during your workout, and the WaterRower is designed with this in mind. With adjustable foot pads and straps for flexibility and a gently gliding cushioned seat.

Concept2 vs Waterrower

WaterRower - Design

Aesthetically pleasing, WaterRower is crafted with sustainable hardwood sourced from the Appalachian Mountains. Available in different designs, including metal if preferred.

The beautifully designed WaterRower is one you want to display. It can simply store upright, using minimal space and no wider than a dining room chair. Integrating your gym equipment with the rest of your furniture.

Ready to Row?

Quite simply, when it comes to Concept 2 vs WaterRower, the decision will be based on your needs.

If tracking your performance is key, Concept2 is the machine for you. The WaterRower performance monitor does provide beneficial data, however not to the level of detail that Concept2’s PM5 does. The ability to connect wirelessly to the PM5 means easy access to your statistics, great for those that enjoy their gadgets.

Concept2’s machines are designed similarly to most rowing machines. However, if you want a piece of equipment beautifully crafted, which fits in with your surroundings, then choose the WaterRower. The replenished wood and tranquil WaterFlyWheel will be the perfect addition for any space.

Lastly, when it comes to Concept2 vs WaterRower based on their mechanisms, it is purely based on your goals. If you are a competitive rower, Concept2’s Dynamic rower is great for practising technique. Whereas the WaterRower’s WaterFlyWheel is a slightly different mechanism than what rowers will be used to due to its self-regulated resistance.

Whichever you choose, Gym Marine can provide you with the full range. Browse all our Concept2 and WaterRower machines below.
