How UKSF Built a Bespoke Gym Flooring & Training HQ for Deadly Dozen Fitness
When UK Supreme Fitness (UKSF) was selected to deliver a full custom gym flooring solution for Deadly Dozen Fitness, the result was a performance-focused, visually striking training environment that blends premium finishes with world-class training surfaces – all designed for elite athletes, functional fitness fans and race-specific performance training.
What Deadly Dozen Fitness Needed from Their Training Facility
Deadly Dozen Fitness – known for its high-intensity “fitness racing” experience that pushes athletes across complex movements and endurance challenges – required a purpose-built HQ capable of supporting thousands of users and competitive events throughout the year.
This wasn’t just about installing commercial gym flooring; it was about creating performance zones that reflect the demands of both functional training and the unique Deadly Dozen competition format. For UKSF, this meant:
-
Designing and manufacturing custom gym flooring and race lanes that align with Deadly Dozen’s branding and performance needs.
-
Integrating Hyrox sled tracks and specialised turf for sled work and sprint drills.
-
Establishing training surfaces that offer durability, shock absorption and grip for high traffic and heavy equipment zones.
Bespoke Flooring Design: Going Beyond Standard Gym Flooring Tiles
Standard gym flooring tiles or garage gym flooring wouldn’t cut it for a facility of this calibre. UKSF’s brief included:
Custom Race Lanes & Inlaid Markings
UKSF installed an 800m² floor with bespoke rubber race lanes featuring inlaid lines, numbers and lettering. These markings are integrated directly into the flooring – meaning they won’t fade, peel or wear away like printed graphics can.
This approach ensures the space stays professional and engaging, even after years of high-impact use.
Purpose-Built Training Zones
To meet the unique demands of functional sport training and events, the flooring was segmented strategically:
-
High-performance rubber gym tiles in the main training areas for strength and conditioning.
-
High-traction astro turf zones and Hyrox sled turf lanes tailored for heavy sled pushes, pulls and sprint training.
These surfaces combine the benefits of commercial gym flooring with the specialised needs of both CrossFit astro tracks and Hyrox-style racing surfaces.
Professional Installation from Design to Finish
A major success factor in this project was UKSF’s full-service approach:
Consultation & CAD-Led Planning
Before a single tile was laid, UKSF worked closely with Deadly Dozen Fitness to map athlete flow, equipment placement and training needs. This CAD-driven design ensured that every square metre served a purpose.
Premium Gym Flooring & Equipment
Highlights of the install included:
-
20mm red fleck rubber gym flooring tiles throughout all training zones for longevity and shock absorption.
-
Custom Hyrox sled turf and astro turf lanes perfect for sled pushes, agility work and sprinting drills.
-
Careful placement of cardio and conditioning equipment like Air Runners and Echo Bikes geared towards high-volume sessions.
The result: a seamless finish across the entire facility that’s built to handle heavy usage without compromising aesthetics or performance.
The Finished Facility: A Training & Event Destination
When complete, the Deadly Dozen HQ became more than just a gym; it became a race training and competition destination that fuses functional fitness, racing surfaces and elite-level performance areas.

Why Flooring Matters in High-Performance Training Spaces
Investing in the right flooring isn’t just about looks. For facilities like Deadly Dozen Fitness, the right surface:
-
Enhances safety through shock absorption and grip.

Reduces wear and tear from heavy equipment and repeated sled work.
-
Supports a wide range of training modalities from strength lifting to functional racing drills.
And whether you’re installing home gym flooring, transforming garage gym flooring or outfitting a full commercial gym flooring project, choosing robust, fit-for-purpose surfaces is essential to performance, longevity and user satisfaction.
