Lime Wood has completed a refurbishment of the Herb House gym, with a redesigned training space and a new generation of performance-led equipment to enhance the wellness offering for guests and members. The updates reflect Herb House’s approach to wellbeing – intelligent, considered and rooted in long-term health.
The refurbishment repositions the gym from a traditional hotel fitness space into a more integrated, high-performance wellness space. Building on the existing Technogym offering, expansive forest views and calm atmosphere, the redesign introduces advanced training technology alongside a more structured and connected fitness system. The result is a space for maximising performance, recovery and measurable outcomes, while remaining aligned with Herb House’s philosophy of training naturally in restorative surroundings.
Overlooking the herb roof and forest beyond, the gym has been designed to support a more personalised and effective approach to exercise. Combining the calm setting with some of the most advanced fitness technology currently available, the new Technogym additions integrate biomechanics, digital coaching and real-time performance feedback to create a more intuitive training experience.
Justin Pimm, Head of Fitness at Lime Wood, says:
“I don’t think of the gym as a collection of individual machines, but as a complete experience. Each element has been carefully considered to feel inspiring, effective and restorative, while still offering a genuine sense of calm. That balance is what makes the space so compelling.”
Among the new additions is the Biostrength Live Leg Press, a strength-training system that adapts load, tempo and range of motion in real time according to each user’s output. Designed to improve efficiency and technique, it enables targeted lower-body training with greater precision and reduced joint strain.
The Climb Live introduces a high-intensity, low-impact cardio option inspired by stair climbing, designed to build lower-body strength and endurance. Integrated coaching tools and progress tracking allow for a tailored workout experience suited to a range of fitness levels and goals.
Also joining the space is Technogym Ride, an indoor cycling system developed to replicate the dynamics of road cycling. Responsive gear changes, terrain simulation and integrated performance metrics create an engaging training environment for both recreational riders and dedicated cyclists.
The refurbishment marks the latest evolution of Herb House, where fitness sits alongside spa therapies, nature immersion and restorative treatments as part of a broader philosophy of balanced wellbeing.
