LES MILLS IMMERSIVE STUDIO

We have worked with the Village hotel group for some time now and have updated a lot of their studios nationwide.  After meeting with the director’s, we put forward a proposal to install a Les Mills “The Trip”, immersive studio.  SSL were awarded the contract and we began putting together a timeline of installation.

Les Mills define the trip as:

THE TRIP is a fully immersive workout experience. As a result, Les Mills combine a 40-minute multi-peak cycling workout with a journey through digitally created worlds.  So with its cinema-scale screen and sound system, this IMMERSIVE STUDIO takes motivation and energy output to the next level.

“The Trip” has equipment specified by a German company.  Therefore, SSL had to liaise with this company to ensure that the equipment was installed correctly and in line with their drawings and specification.  Once all the immersive equipment was installed, the German company flew over to commission the project.  Essentially, this involved merging the two Panasonic projectors to produce one single image and processing the sound system.  It was then the responsibility of SSL to programme the lighting to work alongside the Les Mills trip.
