Prolights supplied moving-head fixtures like the Jade, Jet Spot4Z and Diamond 19CC, along with the linear LED pixel batten Lumipix 8H. “These units charged the stage with energy and rich colours,…

“We don’t follow trends. We go off road.” So declares the chain of 1Rebel boutique fitness and riding centres on its website. An idle marketing boast? Hardly. Stepping inside this two-story gym, visitors are swept up in an immersive panorama of colors, lasers and effects more reminiscent of a nightclub or the inside of a computer game than a place where one goes to get toned abs. 1Rebel hasn’t gone “off the road” in creating this mega gym; instead, it’s blazed an entirely new path, one that is likely to reset standards in the fitness category, not just with its…
