KA Leisure, in collaboration with Matrix Fitness UK, are proud to launch The Yard – an exciting new outdoor training space at the Portal that takes fitness to the next level. Purpose-built for performance, variety, and community, The Yard blends fresh-air training with elite-level equipment to create a truly dynamic workout environment.
At the heart of the space is the Training Barn, fully equipped for strength and conditioning. Users can train with Matrix Mega Half Racks, outdoor lifting racks, lifting platforms, Olympic bars, weights, and dumbbells, alongside functional favourites including plyo boxes, sandbags, slam balls, and kettlebells. Whether building strength, power, or athletic performance, The Yard delivers the tools to train with purpose.
For those seeking intensity and endurance, the outdoor cardio zone features industry-leading equipment including Concept II Rowers, Concept II SkiErgs, Air Assault Bikes, and a dedicated sled track complete with sled prowlers – perfect for high-energy conditioning sessions and team-based workouts.
Designed for everyone from beginners to experienced athletes, The Yard is more than just a training space; it’s a statement of KA Leisure’s commitment to modern fitness, innovation, and community wellbeing. Bold, versatile, and inspiring, The Yard at the Portal is set to become Irvine’s go-to destination for outdoor training.
Work is scheduled to start w/c 19th January with more details on our launch coming soon.
