I design and project manage complete end-to-end commercial gym fit-outs at VERVE.

Most recently the 600 m² High Performance Hub at Griffith University — Australia's exclusive Olympic Pathway University. Strength-and-conditioning floors for universities, elite sport and major property projects.

The brief / 01

One floor to carry every modality — Olympic lifting through to sprint, plyometrics and testing — at AOC standards, built to hold through to Brisbane 2032.

What VERVE delivered / 02

A programming-led spec, not a product order. We zoned the 600 m² floor into six environments and delivered it end to end — supply through install.

The outcome / 03

Griffith trains across six modalities on one floor — built for elite load and to last through to 2032.

Inside the floor

Six training zones, one complete commercial spec — built and installed as a single package.

Multi-storey elite gym & wellness centre

Designed, delivered and project-managed by VERVE — one of our largest projects to date, carrying the most complete range of VERVE equipment we've put into a single facility. Strength floor, reformer studio and recovery, laid out in 3D before a single rig was ordered.

How I deliver

From a brief to a built floor

How a project like Griffith actually gets visualised, built and managed — the tools and method behind a VERVE fitout.

  • 01 Understand the end user

    Before any layout, I build a detailed picture of who actually uses the floor — how they train, the format of their sessions, whether they need separate zones, how the space has to flow at peak times, and the clientele they want to attract. From there I reverse-engineer the design around the layout and flow that suits the members and trainers, not a template.

  • 02 Design & 3D visualisation

    I lay out each floor in 3D so a client sees the space — zones, sightlines, equipment placement — before anything is ordered. Designs are enhanced and rendered with AI so the visual matches what gets installed.

  • 03 AI-accelerated scoping & documentation

    Equipment schedules and procurement responses move faster with a Claude-based workflow — so the detail behind a 600-line fitout holds up under scrutiny without slowing the project down.

  • 04 End-to-end project delivery

    Programming-led design, supply and install — managed as one package from first layout to opening day. The same model whether it's an Olympic-pathway hub, a multi-storey wellness centre, or the World Gym national account I manage across Australia for VERVE.
