1. Gipara, a manufacturer of sports accessories, commissioned us to design and produce the first such extensive product in its catalogue.
2. Adaptiva is a modular training system consisting of a gate and a selection of equipment. 3. It has the advantage of being highly combinable and easy to adapt and assemble, allowing the equipment to be installed for a complete workout in any room.
4. The Adaptiva system was managed from the design stage, through the selection of production technology, recommendation of contractors and author's supervision and care during implementation.
5. The design process coincided with a particularly difficult pandemic period for the sports industry, which showed how design works in crisis conditions.
PROCESS
1. The key to Adaptiva is flexibility and modularity: we were tasked with creating a solution that allows each user to construct a customised training space.
2. We have designed a simple, versatile structure that can be adapted to different interiors - in sports facilities and at home - and adapted to the specialities of trainers.
3. The basis of the system is a base gate with a simple, universal form, available in various colour versions. 4. Variants of handles, ladders, shelves and rods make it possible to create an optimal set, easy to modify and expand. There is also an option to purchase ready-made, larger sets, which can then be combined with each other.
5. Training equipment must meet high requirements in terms of safety and resistance to loads, shocks and impacts, so we had to carry out extensive tests and select materials with an absolute guarantee of durability and strength.
6. The construction elements are made of high-quality steel with an anti-slip coating and, where necessary, protective rubber and polyamide pads.
7. The work on the structure involved various production technologies - steel processing, hot-dip galvanising, powder coating, elastomer injection. Once the design was developed, we were also responsible for prototyping and testing, and then we supervised implementation and provided consultation during the production process.
RESULTS
1. The modularity of the Adaptiva system proved to be the answer to the difficulties that fell upon the sports industry in the wake of the pandemic.
2. Despite the closure of gyms and sports clubs, as many as a dozen were quick to order.
3. equipment allows sports and fitness facilities maximum flexibility and better adaptation to changing market conditions.
Summary
1. We implemented the first such large-scale product of a manufacturer.
2. We have introduced a solution that allows any gym to be built regardless of the available floor space, including the adaptation of the designed solution to a small house.
3. We have ensured that the design is very flexible and modular, allowing it to adapt to any space to meet the needs of users.
4. We have ensured a long service life of the structure under conditions of intensive use (hundreds of thousands of movements of the structure over several years).
5. We have used a combination of several production technologies - steel processing, hot dip galvanising, powder coating, elastomer injection.
6. We have developed a modern design while ensuring rigidity, strength, functionality.
7. Despite the fact that the product launch overlapped with the outbreak of the pandemic and the closure of gyms, the product achieved high sales results.
8. Commercial success translated into the development of the offer with equipment for home conditions.
