Glass Installations are thrilled to have supplied and installed training mirrors and barres at the all new Equicise training studio, based at Wimbledon Village Stables. This specialist studio takes horse riding training to another level using state of the art technology, along with a team of highly qualified and experienced riding instructors.
Equicise Ride uses a state of the art Equine Simulator, which incorporates body conditioning with technical development. The Simulator is situated in a luxury private studio providing a relaxed training environment and a large interactive screen and strategically placed training mirrors which give instant visual feedback. Equicise also offer Studio Fitness classes which work hand in hand with the Equicise Ride to provide the complete horse riding training program.
Why Are Mirrors For Training So Important?
Training mirrors are an essential part of the development process. The mirrors aid with correction of posture and help to improve body alignment, core stability & balance. For a horse rider, mirrors are an essential training aid.
The owner of Equicise, Carol Andrews, contacted us to enquire about our specialist mirrors and asked for advice on the best type of mirrors for her studio. Carol and her team decided to order a selection of our mirrors, which were then manufactured on a bespoke basis to suit her state of the art studio.
Mirrors for Horse Riding Training
Firstly, Carol decided on a Featherweight Foil Portable Mirror which was redesigned to suit the height of the Simulator. The lightweight glassless Featherweight Foil Mirror is easy to maneuver, whilst not compromising on visual clarity and image reflection quality. Two Image “6” wall fixed mirrors were installed onto two of the walls in the Simulator room to also assist with posture correction.
A run of Image “6” training mirrors, complete with integrated single tier barre, were installed into the fitness studio. Another run of barres were fitted to the opposite wall giving flexibility to the way in which the training room can be used.
Image 6 Training Mirrors & Barres
The Image “6” system uses a slimline polished aluminium “J” channel fixing technique, which results in a sleek appearance with no unsightly screw fixings on show, and all without compromising on image reflection quality! An integrated single tier or double tier ballet barre can included if required.
A Happy Customer and Great Feedback!
Carol and her team were delighted with the finished mirror and barre installation. Below is an extract from an email we received from Carol after the installation was completed.
“Absolutely brilliant – what lovely guys – I hope they got back ok. It looks AMAZING! Thank you for all your patience with my everchanging order”.
The Equicise studio opened it’s doors to the public last week and the fitness classes are due to commence in April 2016. For more information see the Equisice website here;
