LIFTD Design

Luxury gym designer. We create beautifully functional gym spaces. We work with private clients, property developers and commercial partners.

LIFTD Design is a leading interior design house based in the UK working exclusively with private residential and commercial gym spaces. We believe that our clients deserve more from a gym than just placing equipment in a room. That’s why we work by your side to deliver spaces that provide the best workout experience both visually and physically. We take the time to really get to know our clients and fully understand the project brief. As a design and build contractor we will provide full end-to-end support, from design conception through to project completion.

Designed to Perform. Built to Reflect You.

Health and wellness architecture. Gym design and build, through to operations, across the UK and GCC, with projects delivered globally.

LIFTD was founded by sports scientists. Every project starts with how you will train in the space, then how it should feel, then how it should look.

Who we build for:

Private clients who want a home gym built around their lifestyle, routine and injuries, not just the space.

Founders opening a boutique club or studio who need feasibility, a financial model and an operating plan before the design.

Hotel groups and members clubs adding gym, recovery and wellness facilities for their guests.

Corporations building staff gyms and wellness suites that get used every day.

Developers and student accommodation operators specifying gyms across a programme.

Professional clubs and federations with a training ground to refurbish on a fixed date.

One team responsible from concept to opening.

Imagine a home gym that trains like a HIIT studio, full of morning light, finished in rich green with art that inspires you to keep showing up.

Inside, it is set up for heavy strength work, hard hitting conditioning sessions and space to move the way you like.

We bet it will become your new favourite room in the house.

LIFTD Design builds private home gyms, commercial gyms and elite sport facilities across Dubai, the wider UAE, UK, Europe and beyond.

Elite football doesn’t happen in a standard gym.
The best performance facilities are built around the team, not the equipment.

When the layout works, the staff and coaches can do their best work, and so can the players.

Can any contractor fit out a gym? Perhaps.

Designing a first team training facility takes people who understand how elite athletes train.

At LIFTD Design, our team brings together sports scientists, coaches, architects and interior designers who train too, so performance and design are considered from day one.

This one was turned around in ten days, during an international break.

On top, the misconception.

SPECIFIED BY LIFTD ep01

You would usually find a machine like this in a commercial gym.

Small details on a spec sheet like this one decide how often a home gym actually gets used.

The load drop lets you push a set further without getting up or stripping plates, so sessions move faster and you can train to failure safely at home without a spotter.

The bench press was just one of the pieces in this decked out setup to keep the client’s family progressing on upper body day.

Is this a feature you would use?

Most developers plan the gym once the rest of the building is already decided.

By then the structural drawings are signed off and the residents’ gym gets whatever space is left.

Yet in an apartment tower or a student residence, it is one of the first amenities buyers and tenants ask to see.

Leave it that late and the problems turn up once people move in.

Weights dropped on the level above carry straight into the rooms below, and fixing it means reopening work that was already finished.

PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL GYM, KHOBAR
from the portfolio archive.

An 850 sq ft private home gym in Saudi Arabia, designed around the colours and materials the client wanted to train in.

A lighter palette to hold the natural light and the sea view, with dashes of green that nod to a Rolex collection.

Diamond stitched upholstery that recalls the seat of a classic vintage car.

BLK BOX Nexus rack and competition plates, with dumbbells on a two tier rack.

Assault Curve treadmill, Assault Bike Classic, Concept2 SkiErg and RowErg for conditioning.

Finished with a hanging boxing bag and a Technogym Skilltools kit.

Strength, power and precision, designed into Conor Benn’s private training and recovery suite.

His squat rack is handcrafted and custom built, set up with the attachments he needs to switch up the stimulus quickly.

From the rack to the strength floor, the pieces are made for athletes who expect their equipment to perform.

SAJAN PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL GYM

Swipe to see where it started.

A blank terrace became a 160 sqm strength space, then expanded to 300 sqm built to a commercial standard, for three generations of one family.

This gym and wellness space in their Dubai villa is one that will inspire and change how the whole family trains for years to come.

“The way the whole gym has come out, I think it’s superb. And we all love it.”

Most wellness areas go wrong at the brochure stage.

A sauna and an ice bath get picked before anyone works out where they go or how they’ll actually get used.

A sauna needs its own airflow and electrical load, while an ice bath needs drainage and a chiller with somewhere to send its heat.

Before any of that comes the plan.

Who the space is for, and what happens at when the whole squad starts lining up for the cold plunge.

Anything added after the walls go up means cutting back into finished work to fix what should have been drawn on day one.

Ventilation. Drainage. Waterproofing.
Warm, low lighting that tells your body it is time to slow down.
A hot to cold flow that makes sense without needing a sign, and a cleaning and water testing routine planned before opening day.

Planned properly, recovery becomes part of how the people using it look after their health, body and mind.

Well members keep coming back.

We cover seven of the most common gym design mistakes in our playbook.
