The Ask:

As the Queensland Maroons geared up for the 2025 State of Origin series, they needed a high-performance, temporary training facility that could match the intensity of their campaign. With no permanent infrastructure on site, our mission was to design and deliver a complete gym fit-out that offered versatility, durability, and world-class functionality - all under tight time constraints.

Our Solution:

We delivered a full-scale fit-out, integrating industry-leading equipment across strength, conditioning, and recovery to ensure every facet of the Maroons' training regimen was supported.

Strength & Conditioning Zone:

At the heart of the strength zone was the Force USA X15 V2 and Force USA C10 All-In-One Trainers, space-saving units perfect for compound lifts, functional movements, and accessory work. Alongside it, the Force USA Straight Handle Hex Dumbbells provided versatile load options for everything from overhead presses to lunges. To complement these, we installed both Pro Series FID and FLAT Benches, offering stability for pressing and mobility drills.

To create a complete lifting ecosystem, we supplied Pro Grade Bumper Plates, paired with Uprights featuring laser-cut holes and numbered placements, enabling consistent barbell positioning. The Lat Pulldown / Vertical Row Combo gave athletes options for focused back work and core integration, while the Force USA Commercial GHR/GHD brought a crucial element of posterior chain development to reduce injury risk and boost on-field explosiveness. The addition of the Xebex XT3 Plus Sled introduced dynamic resistance for full-body power development and metabolic conditioning. All of this was installed atop premium rubber flooring tiles (1M x 1M x 15MM), ensuring durability, grip, and safety throughout.

High-Performance Cardio:

When it comes to elite preparation, conditioning is non-negotiable. We curated a cardio lineup that delivered both endurance capacity and anaerobic performance. The Concept2 BikeErg with PM5 Monitor offered precision-driven metrics and scalability, ideal for interval-based programming and aerobic conditioning. Alongside it, the Assault Bike Pro introduced a brutal yet effective tool for full-body metabolic conditioning, blending upper and lower body output in every session. To take conditioning to a new vertical dimension, we installed the STEPR Stair Climber - perfect for sustained lower-body work, cardiovascular output, and real-world carryover to match-day movement.

Each cardio product was carefully selected to complement the Maroons’ programming, providing options for both team-based circuits and individualised work, while enhancing energy system development and movement efficiency.

Elite Recovery Tools:

Recognising that training gains are only realised through adequate recovery, we invested just as heavily in the tools that help athletes reset, rejuvenate, and return stronger. The Revel Eden 8-Person Traditional Barrel Sauna offered a space not just for recovery, but for team cohesion - promoting circulation, reducing muscle soreness, and delivering a calm post-session ritual. Recovery was further elevated with the Revel Glacier Duo Premium Ice Bath, providing contrast therapy and inflammation control vital for the Maroons’ back-to-back high-intensity sessions.

To support individualised recovery between sessions or while travelling, we supplied the Revel Massage Gun Pro - a compact yet powerful device perfect for self-myofascial release, mobility prep, and targeted muscle relief. Together, these tools helped reduce downtime, accelerate muscle repair, and build recovery into the culture of the camp.

Elevating Performance:

The result was a high-performance, mobile training facility that gave the Maroons everything they needed to professionally prepare. From first rep to final cooldown, every piece of equipment we installed served a purpose: to push and prepare Queensland’s finest.

Whether it’s a permanent gym build or a temporary training ground, Gym and Fitness delivers more than equipment - we deliver confidence, efficiency, and championship-ready environments.
