The Challenge

Located on the first floor, Leigh Sports Village's training facility needed to address a critical issue: minimising noise and vibrations to prevent disruptions in neighboring rooms and offices. This required a flooring solution that could effectively absorb sound and withstand the rigors of heavy training.

The Solution:

IndigoFitness responded with the installation of 51mm duraSOUND rubber acoustic tiles. These tiles are specifically engineered to reduce sound transmission from heavy weight drops by up to 38 dB, significantly improving the acoustic experience for athletes and ensuring minimal disruption to adjacent spaces.

To complement the duraSOUND tiles, IndigoFitness also installed a custom branded 13m long TurFlex turf track, built to the same height as the acoustic tiles. Personalised Graphix platforms were also integrated into the design to create a seamless, functional, and visually appealing training space.
