THIRD SPACE MOORGATE
World Class Gym, Luxury Under One Roof
Third Space has opened the doors to its new 27,000 sq ft gym in London’s Moorgate. With clubs opening at Battersea Power Station and Wimbledon’s Centre Court Shopping Centre next year, the luxury fitness chain is on track to meet its target of operating an estate of eleven clubs by the end of 2023.
​
The new Moorgate club provides fitness, wellness and recovery facilities. There is an immersive Octagon for combat classes – which aims to bring martial arts to life with padded walls, hanging bags and perimeter lighting. The cycling studio – accessible by a spiral stairway – incorporates ICG connect technology to engage members in real-time racing and the cardio and functional training area offers equipment, such as Concept 2 rowing machines and an Eleiko strength zone.
​
As well as the usual Third Space features and luxuries, the brief was aimed to create a training heaven for amateur athletes, “wrapped in a cloak of luxury." The CDI design team took this on board, delivering subtly concealed services to provide an immersive ambient experience for the members and staff alike.

The club features a number of innovations, including its largest hot yoga studio, velocity training technology on its Olympic lifting racks and its first dedicated recovery room which is fitted with Hyperice and Normatec equipment, such as compression sleeves, percussive therapy guns and recumbent relaxation chairs. Also new are a state-of-the-art Mescan whole-body scanner and a self-timed sprint ramp, while spa facilities include wood, water and stone saunas set against a Himalayan salt wall.
​
Energy efficiency is always high on the list for any business whose operational hours are 17 hours a day and the CDI designs incorporated high efficiency boilers for the high hot water demand, heat pumps for comfort cooling, LED lighting throughout and a sophisticated yet user friendly controls system to provide the optimum ambience for each activity.
