"My entire experience with the whole team from Recharge has been incredible from start to finish.
Communication from Ryan was clear and gave me everything I needed to start a new project of a second gym with a clear mind and complete confidence I’d made the right choice.
From there on I had contact with Freya who gave me constant updates about custom products and everything that was going on which really kept my mind at ease.
Once it came to installation, once again the team were incredible and friendly, especially Ian. As it was a big project I got to spend quite a bit of time with the guys whilst they worked to help me bring my visions to life. Ian, Nathan and Max went above and beyond to ensure everything was exactly how I needed it to be whilst getting constant check-ins from Ryan.
Without a doubt, I will work with Recharge again on my future projects and would recommend them to anyone I could without a second thought.
Thank you so much for bringing my dream to reality and continuing to show me support after the project too."

“After a brief exchange on Instagram, I knew we were going to get on well with Esme, we loved her vision for creating a real community hub, and she has done exactly that. We will absolutely continue talking to Esme, and can’t wait for updates regarding new membership targets being smashed. She’s poured a lot into this project and should be proud of what she has achieved”
RYAN, RECHARGE FITNESS, DIRECTOR.
Project Brief
Esme from MVMT dropped us an email with a vision for a community-focused gym. Having outgrown her existing space, she was looking at expansion and had managed to sort an ideal space that supported her business vision, whilst also enabling more Lincoln locals to benefit from the MVMT approach.
We quite quickly found that a.) Esme was focused on getting this new venture launched in a cost-effective way, b.) she wanted quality and for the gym not only to be highly functional but it needed to look the part too, and c.) she really cared about the overall offering, the from a bespoke rig that fit her needs, to the broader offering off coffee and clothing, MVMT isn’t just a gym, it’s a whole fitness lifestyle. If you train at MVMT, we suspect you aren't just going to get in shape, you’re going to become a part of the MVMT family, you’ll make friends, sweat heavily and love every minute of it.
MVMT has a high ceiling in terms of membership. At 100 members and a few PTs renting space this venture stacks up commercially. Esme has hit these numbers swiftly (and we aren’t surprised) with 200 members and more PTs renting space not too far around the corner, it looks to be a great all-around venture.
How Recharge Helped
We had a grown-up conversation to understand where we could help most. Coming from another gym, Esme already had some old kit (which will get replaced in the future), but that wasn’t a priority. So we focused on areas where we could add the most value; getting over 200 sqm of flooring down, a beastly bespoke sled track, and a custom-built rig that is a centrepiece of the gym and clients' training. We played a key role in keeping the project on track and getting it launched.
