case studies

D.I.S.C wished to enhance their member experience through the installation of a brand-new cycle studio.

• Instructor mic
• iPad control & automation
• RGBW LED tape
• Distributed audio, Evoson
• HD Projector
• HT rack

The vision
Leisure & Culture Dundee is an independent Scottish Charity with responsibility for the delivery of leisure, sports, library, information and cultural services in Dundee City and includes D.I.S.C – home to the European Hockey Championships. Recognising their member desire for a functional spin studio, along with the need to manage timetable demands, the team were looking for an audio visual solution to enhance the space.

The project
We reviewed the area which included a gym studio and small group exercise space, and advised on lighting and audio requirements which included a solution to run live and virtual spin classes.

The solution
Created a virtual cycle centre featuring Life Fitness Myride with On Demand classes available should members want to load up a class when one isn’t scheduled. HT installed an additional tablet to enable this functionality.

The result
“We were looking to develop the studio space to give our customers a more diverse and enhanced fitness area and cycle studio, whilst providing flexibility around scheduled classes through the use of virtual classes from Life Fitness MyRide® Virtual. The team at Hutchison Technologies were able to consult and advise on the best methods to do this; which has included the integration of instructor controls into our studio and exercise area and of course the fantastic feature and effect lighting to immerse members in their workout, alongside the virtual class function which will now support our popular timetabled cycle classes.”
John McCafferty, Leisure & Culture Dundee

The Centre’s cycle studio and exercise area now offers a modern and flexible space for members and instructors alike having enjoyed a functional equipment, audio visual and lighting upgrade. The state-of-the-art fleet of ICG bikes combined with the digital technology creates a memorable exercise experience. The unique ‘Coach by Colour’ intensity guide, Watt rate power meter and connectivity to external devices give exercisers the power to personalise, view and track workouts for optimum results.
