Developed in a collaboration between Gym Marine, Salt Lick Fitness, and Derecktor, the Crew Container sees a shipping container innovatively converted into a multifunctional gym space and storage unit.

The Crew Container's launch took place on Tuesday February 27th, with local yachting press and superyacht crew invited to join a demonstration and fitness training session with Salt Lick Fitness.

Gym Marine appointed Salt Lick Fitness as their crew wellbeing partner in 2023. When Derecktor approached Gym Marine with the concept of a container gym for in their shipyard, the parties got to work to develop the idea and identified a gap in the marketplace for gym facilities at shipyards, refit centres, and remote locations around the world.

Derecktor were responsible for the fit out of this first Crew Container, drawing on Gym Marine's design expertise and Salt Lick's understanding of crew training requirements and the equipment crew prefer to use.

"It's been months in the making, development, and testing, and seeing the first Crew Container unit completed and in action is an exciting moment for everyone who's been involved. The launch event was fantastic, and it was great to put a few guests through their paces! We showed them cardio training, strength exercises, and how to create group circuits utilising the full array of equipment. 15 crew can easily use the Container at the same time." - Tom and Christie, Salt Lick Fitness
