A Private Gym Studio Built for Content
Bailey Studio is an 8,000 sq ft private creative campus in Nottingham, purpose-built for fitness photography, video production, and brand content. The flagship space is a 3,000 sq ft gym floor equipped with Watson and Eleiko equipment, wall-to-wall mirrors, and professional lighting on stands, booms, and rig systems.
This is not a commercial gym that happens to allow cameras. It is a fully private production environment designed from day one for visual content. When you hire the studio, the entire space is yours. No members walking through. No interruptions. No audience. Just your team, your talent, and the equipment you need to produce exceptional work.
The campus also includes additional shooting areas beyond the main gym floor, giving you flexibility for different setups, looks, and backdrops within a single booking.
Who Hires the Studio
The studio is used by photographers, videographers, fitness brands, content creators, and production teams who need a professional gym environment without the limitations of a public space.
- Photographers: A fully lit gym floor with professional-grade lighting already rigged and ready. Bring your own modifiers or use what is in place. Multiple backdrop options and shooting areas across the campus.
- Brands and agencies: A controlled production environment for campaign shoots, lookbooks, product launches, and commercial content. Watson and Eleiko equipment photographs beautifully and communicates premium quality.
- Content creators: Film workout videos, exercise demonstrations, social media content, and YouTube productions in a space that looks and sounds professional. No background noise, no strangers in frame.
- Coaches and PTs: Produce exercise library videos, course content, and marketing imagery in a space that reflects the quality of your coaching.
The studio has been used for national magazine shoots, international brand campaigns, and individual creator projects. Whatever the scale of your production, the space can accommodate it.
