Immersive LED gym

ENTTEC and architectural lighting specialists ErosPhos transformed Blunsdon Fitness+'s cycle studio with an immersive LED lighting system. Using ENTTEC's Pixelator, PLink Injectors, and 50 meters of pixel tape, the installation created dynamic, synchronized lighting effects controlled by media servers via a touchscreen interface.

With health-conscious consumers demanding more flexible ways of improving their fitness, it’s important that gyms and leisure centres provide members with the best environment, equipment and unrivalled experience to support them in achieving their health and fitness goals.

Architectural lighting specialists ErosPhos succeeded in creating the cycle+ studio: an exclusive, high-quality and inviting space designed to stimulate all the senses, using an ENTTEC Pixelator, PLinks and 50 metres of pixel tape. The ENTTEC Pixelator, now a legacy product, converted Art-Net and sACN protocols to handle 48 universes. It managed over 8000 pixels from the studio's pixel mapping software, and took care of the rest.

All the lighting effects are driven by dedicated media servers controlled from a customised touchscreen interface mounted onto the instructor’s spin bike. The instructor simply selects a music track on the touchscreen interface which has been pre-programmed for convenience and this begins the synchronised sound and lighting, meaning that the lighting effects are truly consistent with the music that is being played.

High-endurance exercise combined with high-intensity lighting to produce a zone which is entertaining and exhilarating, we have been able to entice gym users from all backgrounds to join in and use the space. Using cutting-edge technology to create such a space has increased membership signups, general use of the gym and of course, raised revenue, marketing and promotion of the brand.
