Crown Sports Lockers (CSL), a UK-based manufacturer specialising in bespoke changing solutions, has developed a new waterproof locker that combines practicality and sustainability.

The company, which has more than 25 years experience creating tailor-made solutions for leisure, sport and fitness facilities, as well as hospitality, spa and hotels, debuted the solution at this year’s Independent Hotel Show.

It consists of a waterproof locker shell constructed from recycled plastic and features wooden doors made from sustainably-sourced timber and impregnated with an anti-bacterial agent that prevents the growth of MRSA and E.coli.

"We’ve been developing the product for some time and eagerly anticipate its impact”- Spencer Grimwood

The range, which debuted at MOVE, an event held by Power Plate to celebrate its twentieth anniversary in fitness, is designed for users of all abilities and consists of three products – the Power Plate Pulse, the Power Plate DualSphere and the Power Plate Roller – designed to assist with both training and recovery.

Completing the line-up, the Power Plate Roller is designed to enhance foam rolling, with four speeds and an oscillation mode.

Lee Hillman, CEO of Performance Health Systems, owner of Power Plate, says: “We’re extending our expertise and knowledge in applying the benefits of vibration to game-changing portable targeted vibration products, that will improve the lives of people worldwide”.

The products are available for trade and retail.
