Client Install
Client Install: Cashel RFC Gym
When Cashel Rugby Football Club approached us to design and install a complete strength and conditioning facility for their athletes, our Team was thrilled to take on the challenge. The club wanted a space that could support both team-based training and individual performance work — with durability, safety and functionality at the heart of the setup. So, we sat down with the members of Cashel RFC and got to work!

Initial gym design approach
From initial consultation to final setup, our Team of Commercial Specialists worked closely with Cashel RFC to understand their training needs and available space. We began with a full site assessment to ensure the layout would maximise usability and flow. Next, our Team members created a complete 3D-visual of the space to ensure the gym set-up looked exactly how Cashel Rugby and Football Club had envisioned it.
Tailored equipment selection
Understanding what types of equipment would be required by the club members was key. Cashel RFC wanted their club gym to include a mix of strength and conditioning equipment in addition to a cardio set-up. This would ensure the finished gym would fully support key pillars of rugby performance and help players build power, endurance and mobility.
Strength & Conditioning Equipment
Ideal for clubs and gyms, the Apex Platinum Rack Pod Edition was chosen as a centre piece for the outfit. This strength-training pod is great for spaces where multiple users may be active at once, as it allows up to four people to train together simultaneously. Multiple Wall-Mounted Bay Rigs were also chosen, as were compatible attachments for adding greater exercise variety to the bays such as Wall Ball Targets and Landmine Attachments.
Weightlifting machines including Hip Thrust Machine, Seated Leg Curl/Extension and Seated Calf Raise Machine were also added to the gym set-up to provide sectorised training options.
And of course, no gym design would be complete without a selection of Hex Dumbbells, Barbells, Weight Plates, Resistance Bands, Kettlebells, Weighted Balls and Bags, Weight Benches, Plyometric Boxes and practical storage options for these products.
Cardio Equipment
When it came to cardio equipment, Cashel RFC went for a broad range for their gym installation that included a mix of different exercise bikes, rowing machines, air ski trainers and a treadmill.
Installation preparation
We pride ourselves on delivering a turnkey installation service — meaning we take care of the heavy lifting (literally and figuratively), so our clients can focus on what they do best. Every piece of equipment is assembled, calibrated, and safety-checked by our trained team of experts.
Regardless of whether it’s a small personal training studio or a large-scale sports club like Cashel RFC, we ensure every install meets professional standards for performance, safety and visual impact.
Once the design was finalised and all products chosen for this install, our Team of Installers began the process of preparing everything. This includes a lengthily job of gathering all equipment, pre-building certain products, quality checking and vehicle loading. With the order ready, the final step was to get on-site and start building.
The Result
The finished gym outfit provides Cashel Rugby Club with a state-of-the-art training environment that supports everything from off-season strength cycles to in-season maintenance. The setup is functional, safe and adaptable — ensuring players and coaches have the tools they need to train effectively for years to come. We’re grateful to Cashel RFC for the opportunity to assist them with their new facility and we’re glad they’re as delighted with it as we are.
