O'Live Fitness Project at Next House Copenhagen: A New Fitness Area

An Experience-Centred Design Approach

Next House Copenhagen’s atmosphere has been carefully curated, with every part of the hostel designed to ensure that guests enjoy an unforgettable stay. From the Next Arena to cinema areas, yoga spaces, and even the pizza bar, the design philosophy is centred around understanding the guests' needs. The goal is to create a "home away from home" that not only provides comfort but also fosters a sense of community and well-being.

The Vision Behind the Training Area

The Training Area at Next House Copenhagen is an excellent example of this guest-focused approach. The client required a low-maintenance, high-quality space that would cater to all fitness levels. This need was successfully translated into a versatile and multifunctional fitness area that anyone, regardless of their experience, can use comfortably. The aim was to create a space that would be easy to maintain while still offering top-notch equipment and facilities.

Taking It to the Next Level: The Next Arena

Once the initial ideas for the training area were developed, the client recognised the potential for even greater possibilities. This led to the creation of the Next Arena, an indoor stadium measuring 10×20 metres. The arena is designed for group activities and sports, with spectator seats lined up around the perimeter, allowing guests to cheer on their friends and fellow travellers.

The Next Arena is perfect for an energetic morning workout, an afternoon of friendly competition, or a social evening event. With its spacious design and welcoming atmosphere, it has quickly become a favourite spot among guests looking to combine fitness with fun.

The Gym: Completing the Sports Area

To complement the Next Arena, the project also included the creation of a state-of-the-art gym. This was a fundamental addition to ensure that guests had access to everything they needed for a well-rounded fitness experience. The gym was designed with inspiration from the open, spacious lines of the arena, creating a workout area that feels expansive yet well-equipped.

One of the standout features of this gym is the low-maintenance approach taken by Saga Trim. The products selected for the space are designed to require minimal upkeep, making it easy for guests to enjoy a quality workout without the need for specialised training or frequent maintenance.

O'Live One+ Island Rig: The Centrepiece of the Gym

At the heart of the gym is the O'Live One+ Island Rig. This multifunctional rig is the perfect solution for a diverse range of training needs. Equipped with a boxing arm, boxing bag, ball wall target, and monkey bars, the rig allows for functional training, suspension exercises, and much more. The O'Live Core Trainer also adds a dynamic element to the workout, providing a robust tool for core strength training.

To keep the area tidy and organised, the gym also includes a One+ Storage Unit. This storage solution holds everything from weight bags and kettlebells to dumbbells and elastic bands, ensuring that the space remains clutter-free and efficient.

Wellness Zone: A Space for Yoga and Pilates

In addition to the high-energy fitness areas, Next House Copenhagen also introduced a dedicated Wellness Zone for Pilates and yoga. This area was designed with clean lines, serene spaces, and high-quality materials that align with the overall aesthetic of the hostel. The goal was to create a calming space where guests could focus on their well-being, whether through a peaceful yoga session or a restorative Pilates workout.

Key elements of this space include O'Live Ballet Bars, yoga mats, body rolls, and a range of different training balls. These tools help guests engage in low-impact exercises that promote flexibility, balance, and relaxation, offering a perfect complement to the more intense workout areas.

Saga Trim’s Expertise

A significant part of the success of the Next House Copenhagen project can be attributed to the expertise of Saga Trim, O'Live Fitness' distributor in Denmark. From the project renders to the final selection of materials, Saga Trim worked closely with Next House to ensure that the fitness areas not only met the client's practical needs but also blended seamlessly into the hostel’s modern, minimalist design.

Their careful selection of equipment, such as the O'Live One+ Island Rig, and their focus on creating spacious, low-maintenance areas have helped elevate the fitness experience at Next House to a new level. Guests now have access to top-of-the-line facilities that cater to a wide range of fitness interests, all within the comfortable, relaxed environment of the hostel.

Conclusion

The O'Live Fitness Project at Next House Copenhagen is a shining example of how thoughtful design and high-quality fitness equipment can come together to create an extraordinary guest experience. Whether guests are looking for an intense workout in the Next Arena, a strength-building session on the O'Live One+ Island Rig, or a relaxing Pilates class in the Wellness Zone, Next House Copenhagen offers a space for everyone. Thanks to the collaboration with Saga Trim and O'Live Fitness, this new fitness area is a perfect balance of functionality, quality, and aesthetic appeal.

Next House Copenhagen is much more than just a hostel—it's a place where fitness, well-being, and community thrive, making it a must-visit destination for anyone looking for more than just a place to sleep.
