Project Insight | The Bar Method

Learn about how Hollman, Inc. helped The Bar Method design their first Texas-based studio.

A renowned barre studio since 2001, The Bar Method (TBM), made its way into the Park Cities – Dallas scene in 2011. TBM workout incorporates Pilates, yoga, and various strength training methods into a ballet-inspired workout, all backed by physical therapy. Don’t worry, a dance background isn’t necessary for this workout!

We got together with Crystal Cavender, a six-year studio manager and teacher of the Park Cities location. As the first location of TBM in Texas, the studio wanted to make a lasting impression on its newest members. Hollman was contacted to help create a locker layout suitable for TBM’s vision and to help with membership loyalty and satisfaction. 

TBM chose a triple-tier Model C locker in Designer White, complimenting their sleek studio layout. “Our customers love the added amenity at our studio. Being able to come in and safely put their things in a room, lock it up, and head to class knowing their things are there when they finish was so important to us”, Cavender explains. 

Our laminate lockers are functional and designed to last. TBM still has their original lockers from 2011, Crystal states [the lockers are] “extremely durable and still beautiful, anytime we need service Hollman is just an email or call away, and they’re on it,” justifying that overtime Hollman lockers are capable of withstanding high-traffic and heavy use from members. 

Since the initial Texas launch, The Bar Method has expanded across Texas and the nation. To learn more about The Bar Method check out their site.

        Project Insights | SESSION Pilates

        Inside Hollman’s locker project with Dallas’ up-and-coming Pilates studio.

        In 2016, Brittany Grignon brought her dreams to life when she opened her first Pilates studio in the heart of downtown Dallas. Grignon’s studio, SESSION Pilates, is based around an upbeat 50-minute workout designed to sharpen and tone your physique through a full mind and body workout.

        Fast forward 6 years, SESSION Pilates has become an extremely successful studio in the Dallas area, growing to four locations. Being a new owner in the fitness industry, Brittany turned to Hollman to get guidance on the best locker fit.

        With a brand-new studio being designed, a budget-friendly locker was ideal for this new gym owner. “When it comes to building and starting a new business, all of it is already stressful so having something that I could check off the list that I knew I didn’t have to worry about was actually very reassuring”, says Grignon. Hollman had the solution with the Essentials Collection, curated to be cost-effective, durable, and easy to order with a 4-6 week turn-around on lockers.   

        With the right locker chosen, a triple-tier model C locker, Sessions Pilates was pleased and continued to use Hollman as their locker go-to with each additional studio location.

        “We wanted our lockers to be a big focal point for the space – eye-catching, but function, giving our clients a sense of security. Each location has a different style of Hollman lockers, they all play a part in the feel and aesthetic of each location”, exclaims Brittany.  

        As SESSION Pilates continues to grow, Hollman is happy to be along side them as they expand. SESSION is currently located in the Dallas neighborhoods of Uptown, Lakewood, Lovers Lane, and recently the city of Plano.

              Project Insights | Charlotte Football Club

              Inside Bank of America Stadium’s $50 million renovations, Hollman helps create Charlotte’s newest soccer club locker room.

              After a delay due to COVID-19, the Charlotte Football Club (Charlotte FC) made its inaugural debut this past February at the Bank of America Stadium. The team, which shares the venue with the Carolina Panthers, was led on with a renovation to include the club with their own space inside the stadium. With the goal of raising the standard for Major League Soccer venues in the United States, the $50 million dollar renovation demonstrates to competitors that Charlotte FC is the new standard. 

              One of the most vital upgrades to the stadium was including a club-only locker room, deeming it a viable necessity for the new team’s success. Hollman teamed up with Populous’ Dallas office to create a design that both honored the club’s European roots and the rich traditions of Charlotte, North Carolina.  

              “The stadium enhancements are designed to provide the ideal environment for soccer. We looked at Premier League venues and many other stadiums around the world to ensure this is a truly great experience for our players and fans”, exclaims Mark Hart, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Tepper Sports & Entertainment.

              Hollman’s team took large attention to detail when it came to designing the locker room including a polished design where primary storage was hidden in the interior of the locker. The custom Nanolam design included a fully ventilated system to decrease drying time and odor, multi-cleat storage drawers, custom marine grade double stitched vinyl cushions, and a personal lockbox with Digilock’s Digilock Axis for security.

              Customization played a huge part in designing the club’s dream locker including player personalization options with magnetic laminate on the backside of the storage door for displaying personal belongings, removable backlit top panel, and custom laser engraved game day hooks to show off the club’s logo.

              “This locker room will rival any soccer locker room in the world,” says Hart, “A soccer locker room is very different from an NFL locker room: there are very specific warm-up and training areas, and the space needs to be more intimate. Hence, it was very important for us to create separate locker rooms for soccer, giving a permanent presence for our players, coaches and staff”.

              The renovations debuted on March 5th, and with the help of Hollman, Inc., the newest football club had a great first impression.

                    Project Insights: Clemson University – Men’s Basketball Locker Room

                    Clemson University Men’s Basketball new locker room is “next level” with the help of Hollman, Inc.

                    Following their 2020-21 season, Clemson University Men’s Basketball team got the renovation they needed to enhance their student-athlete experience. Clemson’s Associate AD of Facilities Management and Capital Projects, Eric Sabin, took on the task by contacting Hollman, Inc. with the intention of redesigning their player’s second home.

                    Clemson came to Hollman wanting to improve accessibility, automation, and layout. The redesign’s goal was to maximize space, integrate technology, and maintain continuity with the other facilities on campus. 

                    With growth in mind, a refined look was wanted for the locker room to attract recruits. The previous locker room had open-faced lockers that exposed all the player’s belongings. With a lack of storage options and with prospects in mind, Hollman stepped in to help resolve their problems.

                    The new locker room features include customized Clemson emblems including the term “Grit” inspired by Coach Brownell, UV printed paw handles, LCD displays with cloud-based drivers, and an anti-microbial design. 

                    The lockers were built with edge-lit floating acrylic shelves, interior personal storage, and a ventilated shoe drawer to maximize storage. Technology advancements include wireless charging and personalized LCD displays providing information to let players stay updated with schedules, statistics, weather, and more. 

                    “This place is sweet man. It’s definitely a nice treat,” exclaims PJ Hall at the teams locker room reveal. 

                    The result was a locker room providing all necessary storage and premium technology desired. With the project completed, Clemson’s basketball team got the revamp needed to keep the program satisfied for years to come.

                    • Black Nanolam
