Errigal is the mountain the club takes its name from. It made sense that the gym wall should carry it, rather than another crest or a coat of paint.
The brief
We surveyed the space first: a plain painted blockwork wall behind the weights rack and rig, awkward roof pitch included, so the final graphic would sit correctly against the room’s actual angles rather than a flat rectangle. The club wanted a scene that meant something beyond decoration, and a snow-capped mountain, tying directly back to Errigal itself, gave the room an identity a generic gym mural never could.
How we approached it
Concepts were drafted against the survey photographs so the mountain’s scale and horizon line matched the real wall, roof pitch and doorway rather than fighting them. Designs were reviewed and refined by email until the composition worked with the room, not just as a flat image.
Before production, we imposed the proposed graphic directly onto the survey photos, so the club could see the transformation in place, rig, doorway and floor markings included, before committing to print. Once approved, the wall was produced and fitted to match.
Before and after
The before photo shows a functional but bare training room. The after is the same room with a full-height mountain behind every set, a wall that gives a plain block room a reason to look up between reps.
If your club has a wall that could carry more than paint, send us a few photos and the story behind the club. We will tell you whether the room can take it before we draft a concept.
