RAY'S CASTLE GYM NEWS - AUGUST 2025

I've got some massive news for you! What has been a long and challenging journey has finally paid off. I'm absolutely buzzing to tell you that we're finally done on the mezzanine!

It's a feeling I can't even describe. After all the planning, the sweat, the steel…we took our very first steps on the mezzanine floor earlier this month. Standing up there, looking out over the space, you can really start to see the scale of what we're building. It's not just a gym; it's a cathedral of fitness, and that mezzanine is going to be the heart of it all.

Speaking of heart, the walls are going up! The partitions for the changing rooms are now in place, and you can really get a sense of the sheer size of these areas. We're finalizing the layout for the changing rooms and showers to ensure they're perfect. This includes a very large, accessible changing room with its own toilet and shower, plus the standard showers in the changing rooms and a whopping 500 lockers. We're making sure there's plenty of space for everyone to get ready, so no more waiting around after a workout.

Beyond the construction site, I've been a busy bee. I've been working behind the scenes with our in-house team on some really exciting collaborations. I can't say too much just yet, but trust me, these partnerships are going to bring some amazing new elements to the Castle Gym experience. We'll be announcing those very soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Finally, I've noticed a lot of you have been sending in questions on our social media pages. I love the enthusiasm! If you've got a question about the new gym, ask us anywhere; on Instagram, Facebook, or even in the comments of this blog. I'll be answering some of those on our social media channels and in next month's blog, so don't be shy!

Thanks for following along on this incredible journey. We're getting closer every day.

Until next time, keep training hard!

Ray.
