Allston, MA

Kaplan Construction was recently commissioned to build a new obstacle training studio for Action Athletics. The facility, located at 42 Guest Street within Boston Landing’s Auerbach Center, marks the Wellesley-based company’s third location and the first of its kind in Boston.

Designed by Arrowstreet of Boston, the 4,000 SF facility features a collection of authentic Ninja Warrior-style obstacles including the Warped Wall and Salmon Ladder. The gym also includes areas for parkour, climbing, and strength training. Additionally, Kaplan built a reception area, staff offices, and accessible bathrooms with showers. To achieve an industrial feel, the walls were finished with a mix of brick, metal panels, and oriented strand board (OSB) panels.

The space also received new mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP/FP) systems. Due to limited space on the roof for mechanical units, Kaplan installed the air handler above the offices and between the custom light fixtures. The installation, done out of sequence due to long lead times, required careful maneuvering to bypass the finished lighting.
