Canvas Arthur House Elevates Student Living with Flagship Technogym Facility
Canvas Arthur House in Wembley is setting a new standard for student wellbeing with its gym, studio, and digital Technogym solutions.
Arthur House in Wembley is the first ground-up built Canvas product in the UK. The flagship property offers 770 bedrooms over 19 floors and houses students from universities across London. It attracts a diverse mix of domestic and international students.
Assistant Manager Richard Kavanagh explains how Canvas prioritises physical and mental wellbeing to help students thrive during a pivotal time in their lives.
Canvas has a clear mission - to provide a comfortable home environment for young adults with premium facilities, support, and community. At Arthur House, this philosophy translates into co-living and co-working spaces, structured wellbeing support, and amenities that help residents develop life skills and connections.

Digitally-Powered Fitness To Engage Students
The fitness offering at Canvas Arthur House comprises a fully equipped 24/7 gym and separate studio space - a significant value-add that helps prospective students choose Canvas Arthur House.
During property tours, two things consistently produce "wow moments" - the upstairs pavilion with its vaulted ceilings, and the Technogym gym and studio space. Prospective residents say the generous space allocation and premium equipment exceed expectations for student accommodation.
Almost all student accommodation offers a gym, but Canvas Arthur House differentiates itself with a separate studio with access to on-demand classes through the Technogym App and use of Technogym Skilltools for independent practice. Everything residents need is provided - they don't even need to purchase basics like skipping ropes – making fitness immediately accessible.
For most residents, this is their first home away from home, and the amenities provide reassurance during an emotional time. Parents of overseas students often stay at Arthur House during the initial transition, and many are so impressed with the gym that they ask to use it themselves.

A Trusted Partnership with Technogym
The relationship between Canvas Student and Technogym extends across the entire portfolio, with Technogym equipment in every Canvas property. The collaborative partnership includes equipment advice, aftersales care, and ongoing activation events to increase engagement. At Arthur House, the equipment selection matches the premium positioning of this flagship property.
"We have a strong relationship with Technogym," said Richard. "Technogym make the entire process easier, with great support on equipment selection and maximising space, digital solutions beyond the gym, and activation days that give our residents even more value."
Technogym equipment provides variety for all levels of fitness, from first-timers to BUCS athletes. Usage data from Technogym Mywellness CRM shows that Technogym Skillrun is the most popular piece of equipment, with students loving its advanced features and variety of training options.
The amount of space at Arthur House also accommodates Skillrow, another differentiator for the property. The Technogym Smith machine, dual cable solution, and combined leg extension and leg curl offer strength training solutions with a compact footprint.

Lowering Barriers Through Digital Innovation
The Arthur House team understands that the first step to using a gym is thinking about it. The Technogym digital ecosystem plays a vital role in building student confidence. If they’re not ready to use the gym, Technogym App lets residents access class content in their private rooms, and the studio provides a semi-private environment to follow on-demand Technogym content.
Technogym helps the team at Arthur House support student wellness, with in-room digital content, studio-based virtual classes, user-friendly equipment, portable fitness solutions, and an engaging digital ecosystem that makes fitness accessible in and out of the gym.
Canvas Arthur House works closely with Technogym to develop activation days and events that engage and educate residents. The first activation day offered six classes throughout the day and was fully booked. These collaborative initiatives add value to the residential experience whilst helping students develop healthy habits.
