The BLK BOX team is thrilled to unveil its design and construction work on the brand-new Cardiff Metropolitan University's Archers Performance Centre.

It’s particularly proud of its custom para rack, bench and accessible storage system, ensuring inclusivity and functionality for all athletes.

Check out the video tour here which gives a closer look at the equipment and layout.

Reflecting on another successful install, BLK BOX founder Greg Bradley, said: “It’s a privilege for us to have designed and built this high performance facility at Cardiff Met. This partnership underscores BLK BOX’s commitment to fostering excellence in sports performance and education.

“From the initial discussions through to the building phase, we've aimed to create more than just a gym; it's a dynamic space where athletes can excel.

“We can’t wait for the students to start using the facility, which will no doubt help develop the stars of the future.”

Head to this link to hear head of strength and conditioning, Dai Watts, reflect on how the new facility is going to help his student athletes.

Cardiff Met’s assistant director of sport and business development, Daniel Gomm, said: “The Archers Performance Centre will not only benefit our students on high-performance programmes – we’re already fielding interest from international sports teams and National Governing Bodies.

“This facility will provide a return on investment that we can use to bring benefits to our wider sporting community.”

Testimonial
NIKE – London HQ

"This new location is an amazing environment, with plans to positively impact the community way beyond its perimeter walls. This new strength and conditioning studio will play a pivotal role in supporting this dream.

Working with Miles Canning, Gregory Bradley, and the rest of the BLK BOX team was an absolute joy, and I'm super proud of the legacy that we have left for Nike athletes and, of course, our local London communities, who deserve a premium space to get inspired and work out in."

"We believe our ongoing partnership with BLK BOX helps us further distinguish our offering in the global market. We have a very clear plan to deliver growth, and we believe our partnership with BLK BOX will help us achieve our aims.

We were very impressed with the functional training zone concept that BLK BOX collaborated with us on, and we are keen on building upon the partnership so we can continue to evolve our product offering for our members."

Testimonial
LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY

"For Powerbase, we aimed to collaborate with specialists in various areas, and BLK BOX emerged as the clear choice in the tender process for several reasons. Their extensive expertise in the performance market, coupled with their ability to glean insights from their work in other sectors, greatly benefits us.

While we were confident in our needs for the facility, partnering with a team that offered solutions and an agile engineering approach proved pivotal. We have tangible examples of innovation and collaboration in this facility, such as tailored accessible storage solutions designed to accommodate the mezzanine's pillars.”

– Rich Ellis, head of gyms and technical relationships, Loughborough University
