01/10/2006 - EXF and Loughborough Powerbase

The Powerbase centre at Loughborough University is a specialist facility to provide a dedicated area for sport specific body conditioning.  EXF were called in at an early stage to assist in equipping the centre. A very flexible approach was adopted as the centre is used by both elite athlettes and the local community.

In total, EXF equipped Powerbase with over 30 stations as part of a £200,000 refurbishment.  Many of the stations were specially modified to cater for the differing needs of the users, from Rugby Teams like the Leicester Tigers, to Chris Rawlings the GB hurdler as well as the individuals from the local community.

The sports conditioning manager was delighted with the finished results.  "The result has been awesome, world class athletes use this facility and their response has been overwhelmingly positive".

EXf has now supplied equipment to 4 sites at Loughborough, including the swimming pools, Powerbase, the high performance centre which was built to complement the existing track and field facilities.
