- One System, Three Gyms: How PXD Adapts to Whatever the Space Demands
A rack is usually the first thing a space is built around — and the last thing anyone thinks to question. Fixed footprint, fixed configuration, fixed idea of what training should look like. PXD was built on a different premise: that the rig should adapt to the space and the way it's used, not the other way round.
We took that premise and tested it against three gyms that have almost nothing else in common. A large-scale, high-traffic independent gym where hundreds of members pass through every day. A small, coach-led studio built entirely around personalized attention. And a strength athlete's home training room. Same modular system. Three completely different briefs.
Here's what PXD had to solve for in each one.
Kulture: Engineered for High Traffic, Not Just High Capacity
Kulture is the other end of the spectrum entirely — a large-scale independent gym where the rig isn't used by one athlete or one small client roster, it's used continuously, by a high volume of members moving through varied training styles across a full day. At this scale, the brief stops being about a single configuration and starts being about throughput: can the space handle simultaneous use, fast transitions between exercises, and heavy day-to-day wear without the layout ever creating a bottleneck.
PXD's modular stations let Kulture build out multiple rig zones — squat, pull, functional attachment work — as distinct but connected areas, so members aren't queuing for one multi-purpose station to free up. The same commercial-grade build that had to disappear into a domestic room in Ross's home gym here had to do the opposite: stand up to constant use, at scale, without losing structural integrity or visual cohesion across a much bigger floor plan.

Lift Club, Harrogate: Built Around the Coach, Not the Crowd
Lift Club is a studio with a specific philosophy: training is personal, and the space should get out of the way of that relationship between coach and athlete. It's the opposite design problem to a big-box gym — the challenge isn't circulation at volume, it's making a compact footprint feel considered rather than cramped.
Here, PXD's modularity was about precision rather than scale. The rig configuration was built to match Lift Club's actual coaching style: clear sightlines between coach and client, attachment points positioned for the specific movements the studio programs around, and a footprint sized to the room rather than to a standard template. Nothing generic, nothing left over.
It's the clearest proof point for the modular idea: the same underlying system that stores an entire home gym's worth of equipment in Ross Edgley's space can just as easily be configured down to the exact dimensions of a boutique coaching studio — because it was never one fixed thing to begin with.

Ross Edgley's Home Gym: Storage as the Real Challenge
Extreme endurance athlete Ross Edgley's training spans open-water swimming, rope pulling, and some of the most demanding strength conditioning in the sport — but his home gym had a far more everyday problem to solve: space.
A home training room isn't judged on how much equipment it can fit — it's judged on how much equipment it can put away. The brief for Ross's space was storage-first: a rig that could host a genuinely comprehensive training setup — bar, plates, attachments, accessories — without the room ever looking or feeling like a commercial facility bolted onto a house.
PXD's modularity did the heavy lifting here. Rather than a rack as one fixed object, the build treats storage as a designed-in feature: integrated plate horns, attachment mounts, and accessory rails that keep the floor clear and the equipment exactly where it's needed. The result is a rig that scales down to a single-user home footprint without scaling down what it can actually do — full-spectrum strength training, stored inside its own structure, in a room that still functions as a room.

The Real Test of "Modular"
Three gyms. Three completely different problems — storage, precision, throughput — and one system that didn't need to be reinvented for any of them. That's the actual test of a modular range: not how many attachments it has on a spec sheet, but whether it holds up when the requirements change completely underneath it.
A rack that only works in one kind of room isn't modular, it's just adjustable. PXD was designed to be rebuilt around the space, not the other way round — and that's exactly what these three gyms prove.
