O'Live Fitness Project at Next House Copenhagen: A New Fitness Area
An Experience-Centered Design Approach
Next House Copenhagen is designed with a holistic approach to guest satisfaction. Every part of the hostel is carefully curated to provide an unforgettable stay. From the Next Arena to cinema areas, yoga spaces, and even a pizza bar, the design philosophy revolves around understanding guests' needs. The goal is to create a "home away from home"—not only providing comfort but also fostering community and well-being.
The Vision Behind the Training Area
The Training Area at Next House Copenhagen is a perfect embodiment of this guest-centered philosophy. The goal was to design a low-maintenance, high-quality space that caters to all fitness levels. This concept was successfully translated into a versatile and multifunctional fitness area, allowing anyone to train comfortably and effectively. The objective was clear—easy maintenance, top-notch equipment, and high accessibility.
Taking It to the Next Level: The Next Arena
After initial discussions, it became evident that there was potential for even greater possibilities. This led to the creation of the Next Arena, a 10×20-meter indoor stadium.
Designed for group activities and sports, this space features spectator seating, allowing guests to cheer on their friends or participate in thrilling competitions. Whether it's an energetic morning workout, an afternoon game, or a social evening event, the Next Arena has quickly become a favorite spot for guests looking to combine fitness with fun.
The Gym: Completing the Sports Area
To complement the Next Arena, the project also included a state-of-the-art gym. This addition ensures that guests have everything they need for a well-rounded fitness experience.
The gym’s design takes inspiration from the spacious lines of the arena, creating a modern yet efficient workout area. One of the standout features of this gym is its low-maintenance approach. The products selected by Saga Trim are designed for minimal upkeep, making it easy for guests to enjoy their workout without needing frequent adjustments or maintenance.
O'Live One+ Island Rig: The Centrepiece of the Gym

This helps keep the area clutter-free and easy to navigate, enhancing the overall workout experience.

Wellness Zone: A Space for Yoga and Pilates
