Maui News: Los Angeles Rams and Hollman Lockers team up to refurbish Locker Rooms at Lahainaluna

During Mauicamp, the Rams hosted a community event to unveil new locker room designs for Lahainaluna High School – a school that became a pillar of hope following the devastating 2023 wildfires. PC: courtesy LA Rams.

The Los Angeles Rams in collaboration with Hollman Lockers and design firm Forty Nine Degrees announced an initiative to support the Maui community by building new locker rooms for Lahainaluna High School.

During the wildfire that devastated Maui in 2023, over 450 student-athletes and coaches’ homes were destroyed and many lost loved ones — yet the football team rallied together, serving as a beacon of hope and resilience for the community.

“We’re honored to bring the same state-of-the-art lockers that we build for collegiate and professional sports teams to Lahainaluna High School,” said Travis Hollman, CEO of Hollman Lockers. “After everything they’ve been through, these student athletes deserve the best, and we’re proud to donate the lockers to this worthy community.”

The Rams will host a community celebration on June 17 at approximately 11:15 a.m. following team activities at Mauicamp to unveil the locker room designs and celebrate the collaboration. The locker rooms are expected to be completed at the end of July 2025 in anticipation of the new school year.

“Our players have faced unimaginable challenges, and this support from the Rams, Hollman Lockers, and Forty Nine degrees will have a meaningful impact on the school and the entire island of Maui,” said Dean Rickard, Co-Head Coach of Lahainaluna High School Football. “The lockers mean more than just a place to gear up – they represent a fresh start and a symbol of the community’s resilience. We are grateful for the support and excited about the journey ahead.”

              Project Insight: Equinox

              Equinox has long been synonymous with luxury in the fitness industry, offering more than just state-of-the-art equipment and elite classes. A significant, yet often understated, component of this luxury experience is the locker room. Far from being mere changing areas, Equinox locker rooms are meticulously designed sanctuaries that enhance the overall member journey.​

              A Design Philosophy Rooted in Wellness

              Equinox’s commitment to holistic wellness is evident in the design of its locker rooms. These spaces are crafted to provide a seamless transition from the intensity of a workout to a state of relaxation and rejuvenation. The use of high-quality materials, ambient lighting, and thoughtful layouts contribute to an environment that feels more like a spa than a traditional gym locker room.​

              This design approach extends beyond aesthetics; it’s about creating a space that supports mental and physical recovery. By offering a tranquil environment, Equinox ensures that members can unwind and recharge, reinforcing the brand’s dedication to comprehensive wellness.​ (Architectural Digest)

              Thoughtful Locker Design for Every Member’s Needs

              Equinox’s locker rooms aren’t just beautiful spaces — they’re also equipped with lockers that are designed for real life. Members will find a variety of locker models to suit their routines. Whether dropping by with just a purse or need space to hang a suit and work bag for after an intense morning session, there’s a locker to match your needs. The range of sizes ensures that every visit — whether quick or extended — is seamlessly supported.

              Each locker is fitted with a Keyless1™ lock system, offering a sleek, modern user experience. These keyless locks are intuitive and easy to operate, allowing members to create their own code each time they use a locker — no physical key or fob required. And for those occasional moments when a code is forgotten, Equinox staff have access to master key functionality, allowing them to quickly assist and reset the locker without inconvenience. It’s a balance of high-end design and practical utility — a perfect reflection of the Equinox experience.

              Enhancing Member Satisfaction and Retention

              The locker room experience plays a pivotal role in member satisfaction. Equinox understands that the moments before and after a workout are crucial touchpoints in the member journey. By providing clean, comfortable, and well-appointed locker rooms, the brand adds value to the membership experience. (SELF+1Architectural Digest+1)

              Members often cite the quality of locker room facilities as a factor in their continued loyalty to Equinox. The attention to detail—from the availability of fresh towels to the maintenance of pristine showers—contributes to a sense of being cared for, which in turn fosters long-term commitment to the brand.​

              Reinforcing Brand Perception

              Equinox’s locker rooms are more than functional spaces; they are a physical manifestation of the brand’s identity. The luxurious design and amenities reflect Equinox’s positioning as a premium lifestyle brand. By delivering an exceptional locker room experience, Equinox differentiates itself in a crowded market, appealing to consumers who value exclusivity and attention to detail.​

              This strategic focus on the locker room experience underscores Equinox’s understanding that every aspect of the gym contributes to the overall perception of the brand. It’s not just about the workout; it’s about the entire journey, from arrival to departure.​

                    Metal Prices Are Up — Here’s Your Better Option: Metal vs. Laminate vs. Phenolic

                    As global tariffs drive up the price of raw materials, many organizations are rethinking their locker material choices. Historically, metal has been the go-to option for locker rooms, athletic facilities, and commercial spaces—but with rising costs and long-term maintenance concerns, is it still the best investment?

                    That’s why we’re breaking down your options with a clear comparison of Metal, Laminate, and Phenolic lockers—so you can make a smarter, more sustainable choice for your next project.

                    Durability: Who Stands Stronger?

                    • Metal: Prone to scratching, denting, and rust, metal lockers often don’t hold up well under heavy use or in moisture-rich environments.
                    • Laminate: A much more resilient choice, laminate is resistant to scratches, dents, and rust—perfect for high-traffic areas.
                    • Phenolic: The top performer in durability. Highly resistant to water, UV rays, and scratches, plus it’s anti-microbial, making it ideal for wellness, healthcare, and high-humidity environments.

                    Winner: Phenolic (for superior durability in tough environments)
                    Best Value: Laminate (great durability with cost-conscious appeal)

                    Customization: Match Your Brand

                    • Metal: Offers limited customization, often restricted to basic colors and finishes.
                    • Laminate: Highly customizable with a vast selection of finishes, colors, and textures to suit any aesthetic or brand identity.
                    • Phenolic: Equally highly customizable, with refined finishes and design versatility.

                    Winner: Laminate & Phenolic (both allow you to elevate your space with design-driven options)

                    Maintenance: Simplify Your Routine

                    • Metal: Requires frequent maintenance, especially if exposed to wear or humidity.
                    • Laminate: Low-maintenance and easy to clean—just wipe down to remove spills or smudges. Plus, individual doors or panels are easy to replace if needed.
                    • Phenolic: The ultimate in low maintenance. Easiest to clean and care for, with minimal upkeep required over time.

                    Winner: Phenolic (effortless maintenance = peace of mind)

                    Cost: Long-Term Value Matters

                    • Metal: While the initial price may be lower, costs add up quickly with repairs, replacements, and upkeep.
                    • Laminate: A cost-effective choice that balances affordability and durability—especially smart for long-term use.
                    • Phenolic: Comes at a higher initial investment, but pays off in durability and long-term savings.

                    Best Budget Balance: Laminate
                    Premium Investment: Phenolic

                    Environmental Impact: Choose Sustainability

                    • Metal: Least eco-friendly, with a higher environmental footprint in production and disposal.
                    • Laminate: Made from pre-consumer recycled content, laminate lockers are a sustainable option without sacrificing performance.
                    • Phenolic: Also eco-friendly, crafted with recycled materials to support greener building initiatives.

                    Winner: Laminate & Phenolic (ideal for environmentally conscious projects)

                    The Smarter Choice Starts Here

                    With material prices on the rise and expectations for durability, design, and sustainability higher than ever, it’s time to explore locker solutions that work smarter, harder, and longer.

                    Laminate and phenolic lockers offer the modern features today’s facilities demand—from lower maintenance and greater customization to a smaller environmental footprint and better long-term value.

                    Whether you’re outfitting a training facility, employee break room, gym, or spa, Hollman’s laminate and phenolic solutions provide a future-ready alternative that elevates the user experience—and protects your investment.
