Glasgow firm help create football pitch for US star Drake
SuperStrong Fitness supplied the premium turf that transformed the tennis courts at Oakley Court, a luxury hotel in Windsor, into a temporary football pitch. Drake and his crew used the pitch to wind down after the end of his three-day residency at London's Wireless Festival.

The installation was planned for the end of Drake's Wireless residency, as part of a private post-tour football party for friends, crew, and VIP guests. However, the day before the £2 million event was nearly thrown into chaos when it was discovered there was not enough turf.

"They needed more turf by lunchtime the next day. "I was about to board a flight back to Scotland. "We didn't flinch—I arranged an overnight courier before takeoff, landed in Edinburgh, and drove straight to our warehouse to meet the delivery van."

SuperStrong Fitness was founded during the 2020 lockdown and has since supplied turf and sled tracks to numerous home gyms, CrossFit boxes, and commercial fitness spaces, including the men's and women's training facilities at Manchester United.
