Yatton RFC Strength & Conditioning Gym – North Somerset

The new Yatton RFC gym in Yatton, North Somerset was designed to provide a professional strength & conditioning facility for the club’s rugby players while also creating a versatile training space for the wider community.

The facility needed to support dedicated rugby strength and conditioning, alongside strength-based sessions, conditioning workouts, HYROX-style training and women’s group fitness classes. This required a carefully planned combination of commercial gym equipment, functional fitness equipment, strength machines, cardio equipment and professional gym flooring.

Quote – A New Strength & Conditioning Gym for Yatton RFC

UK Supreme Fitness were tasked with creating a complete gym for Yatton Rugby Football Club’s new training groundin North Somerset.

The primary requirement was to provide an effective strength & conditioning gym for rugby players, giving the club access to the equipment needed to develop strength, power, speed and overall athletic performance.

However, the facility also needed to offer much more than traditional rugby S&C. When not being used by the teams, Yatton RFC wanted the gym to become an accessible training space for the local community.

The brief therefore included the ability to deliver strength classes, conditioning sessions, HYROX-style workouts and women’s group training, creating a versatile facility that could be used throughout the week by different groups.

Concept

Rugby S&C Meets Functional Fitness

At the heart of the facility is a large custom-made functional fitness rig, designed specifically around the available space and the club’s training requirements.

Rather than installing separate storage around the gym, we incorporated built-in gym equipment storage directly into the rig, providing dedicated areas for dumbbells, bumper plates and kettlebells. This helps maximise available floor space while keeping equipment organised and easily accessible during both team and group training sessions.

To make the structure unique to the club, the rig also features custom-branded Yatton RFC logo plates, helping integrate the club’s identity into the finished training environment.

For the strength & conditioning element of the facility, we supplied a comprehensive range of commercial gym equipment, including Olympic barbells, bumper plates, adjustable gym benches, dip stations and functional training equipment.

A B52 dual pulley power rack was also incorporated into the facility. The combination of a power rack and dual adjustable cable system gives coaches and members access to a much wider selection of resistance exercises while complementing the free-weight and functional training areas.

Professional Gym Flooring & Custom Astro Turf

Flooring was an important part of creating a durable, professional training environment capable of handling the demands of rugby S&C, free-weight training and high-volume group sessions.

We installed our 20mm membrane rubber gym flooring tiles throughout the facility, providing a hard-wearing training surface suitable for commercial strength and conditioning environments.

A dedicated UK-made astro turf track was also installed for sled pushes, conditioning work and HYROX-style training. The turf was custom branded with the Yatton RFC logo, creating a centrepiece within the gym while reinforcing the club’s identity.

Combining professional rubber gym flooring with custom gym astro turf also allowed the facility to have clearly defined areas for strength, functional and conditioning work.

Strength & Cardio Equipment

To give Yatton RFC a genuinely versatile training facility, the equipment package extended beyond the main functional rig and free-weight area.

We supplied Concept cardio machines and an Air Runner for conditioning and cardiovascular training, allowing coaches to incorporate a variety of high-intensity and endurance-based workouts into their programming.

The facility was also equipped with a selection of plate-loaded and pin-select strength machines, giving players and community members access to more traditional resistance training alongside the Olympic weightlifting, functional fitness and conditioning equipment.

The combination of functional fitness equipment, commercial cardio machines, free weights and strength machinesmeans the gym can accommodate everything from rugby-specific S&C sessions to individual training and community group classes.

Install

The complete gym installation was carried out by the UKSF team in just two days.

Our installation team fitted the 20mm rubber gym flooring, installed the custom-branded astro turf and assembled the large bespoke functional fitness rig with its integrated storage and Yatton RFC branding.

The team also built, positioned and set up the cardio and strength machines throughout the facility, ensuring the final layout matched the planned design and provided sufficient space for safe and effective training.

By managing the flooring, turf, rig and equipment installation as one project, we were able to deliver a finished facility ready for the club and its members to use.

Finish

Yatton RFC Strength & Conditioning Gym

The finished Yatton RFC facility is a high-quality rugby strength & conditioning gym that provides an impressive new training environment for both the club and the wider Yatton community.

From the custom functional fitness rig and integrated equipment storage to the 20mm rubber gym flooring, branded UK-made astro turf, B52 dual pulley rack, Concept cardio equipment and commercial strength machines, the facility has been designed to accommodate a wide range of training.

Players now have a dedicated space for rugby strength and conditioning, Olympic weightlifting, functional fitness and performance training, while the versatility of the equipment allows the club to deliver HYROX-style workouts, conditioning sessions, strength classes and community fitness programmes.

The result is a professional full gym installation in North Somerset that combines performance, durability and Yatton RFC's identity to create an excellent training facility for the rugby club and its community.
