It’s Go Time: An Installation Like No Other

LIV North’s fulfillment team is consistently demonstrating our ability to complete what seems like an impossible installation with proper pre planning and perfect execution. This week our challenge is to install 185 pieces of Life Fitness Cardio equipment into two gyms on two separate days. 

Working out of a temporary warehouse, we have unloaded five truck loads of equipment. This converted into nine truckloads of assembled equipment, like the one shown below, which have been in storage until today when the first of two gyms were being installed. 

After day one we are on time and ready for Thursday’s installation. Included in this installation are:

  • 91 Life Fitness Integrity Treadmills
  • 11 Life Fitness Integrity Upright Cycles
  • 11 Life Fitness Integrity Recumbent Cycles
  • 51 Life Fitness Integrity Elliptical Trainers
  • 10 Life Fitness Integrity Lower Body Arc Trainers
  • 11 Life Fitness Integrity Total Body Arc Trainers

LIV North continues to exceed our customers expectations on fulfillment of orders and quality installations from initial planning through to completion. A special mention to Jennifer Hodenius, Fulfillment Manager-Eastern Canada and Stephan Decouvreur, Senior Installation Manager for their excellent work executing these installations.

Facility Feature: Park Hyatt

Park Hyatt is located in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood and is lined with upscale boutiques, Victorian-era homes as well as chic restaurants.

Iain Anderson, the Territory Manager for LIV North in the GTA, has worked with the Park Hyatt Team to design a beautiful 1400 sq/ft. space. It was important that the equipment selected for this facility was of the highest quality with state of the art cardio & strength equipment. Products chosen for this project was the Life Fitness Elevation Series Cardio with SE3HD Console, Insignia Strength, and Synrgy Training System which incorporates Functional Training and Accessory Storage.

After your workout, visit one of Stillwater Spas’ thirteen treatment rooms to relax before going out on the town!

This is a beautiful upscale hotel with a fitness centre to match, not only for people travelling from out of town, but also for people from around the GTA to enjoy a getaway weekend.

Facility Feature: UCalgary’s NEW Gold Fitness Alcove

The Gold Fitness Alcove at the University of Calgary is the latest innovative project that Active Living has taken on to offer more workout varieties to students and the campus community. UCalgary was focused on giving their fitness community a secondary space to relieve stress, connect with other students and add variation to the already well-equipped main fitness amenities.

Alby and his team had a vision of what they wanted and how programming was going to be implemented; it was important to develop something that provided a different experience than the main Fitness Centre. We were able to customize a Small Group Training Room with some amazing, industry leading products from the Life Fitness Signature Series: Life Fitness Studio Line, Woodway Treadmills, TRX and Concept 2.

This space will be used by the students, staff, faculty and the public with any booking reservation. Come try the space out when you need a break and get your pump on! Whatever challenge you’re looking for, UCalgary is ready to support you.

**The Gold Fitness Alcove has been designed and built in partnership with the Apple Fitness Store, a division of LIV North. UCalgary Active Living is a proud Apple Fitness partner.
