The gym located on the 3rd floor is a feature that grants our office tenants and business club an extra boost to their week. The new additions now feature more equipment typically found in commercial and professional gyms, helping you achieve your physical goals on-site. Here is a full overview of the gym upgrade that clients can check out and use.

The Thames Enterprise Centre features a feature-rich package for our clients to conduct business in a professional environment. From the Business Club Membership to our Service Office solutions, we provide a range of additions to our service that boost your working day. This includes our meeting room hire, Self-Storage facility, and even break-out areas. The Gym is one of the features that clients can access at any time as part of the freely accessible areas, which include a range of equipment and machines. This gym is also for clients only, meaning that users won’t have to worry about outside crowds that are accustomed to most commercial gyms.

New Gym Upgrade Features New Equipment

Our latest gym upgrade features a whole new range of items from MuscleIQ that now includes key equipment that may be seen in various commercial settings. This includes a new rig that includes various components that can hit every muscle as desired. The rig securely positions a barbell, and we also have various ways to make full use of the available equipment. We also have a new commercial bench, two adjustable cable machines on the rig, and even a Smith Machine. This allows our clients to perform a larger range of exercises and even options for safe alternatives when exercises alone.

We also feature new adjustable dumbbells in our gym upgrade, which makes it even easier to pick up weights to begin. These can be adjusted from 5kg upto 40kg, plus you can also move the bench to the stands that hold them and face the mirror while performing the exercise. In addition, our adjustable cables allow you to go from 5kg up to 120kg on each side, allowing both new and experienced Gym attendees to benefit. Some new attachments for the rig and cable machine are also available, including a landmine post, row footplate, barbell spotters, and even a preacher pad attachment.

What New Exercises does the Gym Upgrade Unlock?

Thanks to the new equipment and rig, clients now have a greater range of exercises they can perform that makes a dramatic difference to various muscles and fitness goals. As there is a huge range of different exercises you could do, we have selected some of the most significant and a general outline of how the new equipment makes a difference. Here are a few key exercises that can now be performed with our latest equipment.

• Smith Machine Exercises – Barbell Press, Shoulder Press, Squats – Safe alternative that allows you to go heavier even without a gym buddy. Allows you to focus on the weight without worrying about balance.
• Cable Lateral Raises – Our adjustable cables allow you to set the height to your waist, allowing you to perform ideal cable lateral raises with full tension.
• Cable Rows – With row footplate – The height of the cable can be adjusted for users on the floor or on a bench. This means a greater range of rows can be performed, no matter the target.
• Pull Ups – With Pull Up Bar – Our gym-standard pull-up bar grants our clients the best way to perform this exercise. In addition, we also have Resistance Bands and a soft plyo jump box to allow any progression, so you can build up to strict pull-ups in no time.
• Overhead Tricep Extensions – With Rope Attachment – The adjustable cable can be set to waist height, which is perfect to perform this exercise while standing.
• Cable Crunches – With Rope Attachment – This highly effective upper core exercise can now be done with the right height as you position it so you are on your knees. Whether positioned under or away from the cable, this is a great exercise that many trainers recommend.

Now, alongside the cardio machines, multi-gym, and calisthenic stand, our gym can enable users to level up at any time of the day. Providing a way to level up your health and personal lives as you progress in your worklife.
