At Sanctuary Synthetics, we’ve been at the forefront of artificial grass innovation in Ireland for over two decades. With a passion for transforming spaces and creating practical, beautiful surfaces, we’ve become the go-to experts for artificial grass installations across a wide range of industries. From residential gardens and schools to commercial spaces and fitness facilities - we know what it takes to deliver lasting quality.
Our recent work with BD Gyms is a perfect example. With locations in Blanchardstown, Cherrywood, Carlisle, Northwood and Portlaoise, BD Gyms has built a reputation for being modern, member-focused, and performance-driven. When they approached us, they had a clear goal in mind: to upgrade their flooring with something that looked impressive, felt great underfoot, and could withstand the relentless demands of a busy gym.
BD Gyms had been operating on solid but ageing flooring, rubber mats and tiles that had seen years of heavy use. While they’d done the job, they were starting to lose their edge. Slight lifting, wear and tear, and inconsistent aesthetics meant they no longer matched the polished, high-performance environment BD Gyms wanted to present.
The facilities see high volumes of footfall, constant equipment movement, and all kinds of workout routines, from weight training and HIIT to functional fitness and stretching. On top of that, the gym was going through an exciting rebrand, and the team wanted every aspect of the space to reflect a renewed commitment to energy, consistency, and professionalism.
In short, the floors had to do more than just survive - they had to thrive. The challenge was finding a solution that was sleek, tough, safe, easy to maintain, and visually aligned with the brand’s new direction. A surface that didn’t shift or split under pressure, and that would elevate the training experience for every member walking through the door.
Artificial grass might not be the first thing that comes to mind for a gym floor, but it’s quickly becoming a game changer - and Sanctuary Synthetics is leading the charge. For BD Gyms, we proposed a combination of two of our most trusted, high-performance grasses, custom selected to meet the needs of different workout zones.
Together, these products created a surface that delivered on every front: eye-catching, grippy, cushioned, hygienic, and built to last. The aesthetic uplift was immediate. The functionality? Even better. Staff and members alike immediately noticed how the new flooring elevated the experience.
To further personalise each installation, we offer a custom computerised design service along with a handcut bespoke service. This includes cutting in custom lines, numbers, and shapes by hand - ideal for sled lanes, sprint tracks, and more.
We’re proud to say the transformations at BD Gyms are nothing short of stunning. Each location now boasts flooring that enhances both form and function. Whether you’re flipping tires, dragging a sled, or cooling down after a tough circuit, the artificial grass offers the right level of support and stability.
It doesn’t just look professional - it feels it. There’s a noticeable energy shift when you walk in. Members have remarked on the difference, and staff love how easy it is to maintain. The grass stays put, resists damage, and continues looking fresh long after installation. The improved consistency across all locations also adds a layer of brand cohesion that’s hard to miss.
BD Gyms now have surfaces that reflect the ambition and quality of their brand - and we’re thrilled to have been a part of that journey.
