While Recharge Fitness serves gym owners and fitness enthusiasts across the entire UK - from Newcastle to Scotland, Birmingham to London - there's something special about working in your home city. Since relocating our headquarters to Failand in 2023 as part of our management buyout and expansion plans, we've experienced remarkable growth. Our revenue has increased by over 130% year-on-year while maintaining our commitment to exceptional customer service.
Our installation teams are constantly on the road, creating world-class training facilities from Scotland to the South Coast. We've equipped everything from major commercial gyms in Manchester to boutique studios in Edinburgh, working with everyone from professional sports teams and Olympic athletes to independent personal trainers and home fitness enthusiasts. But being based in Bristol gives us a unique opportunity. We can take on projects of all sizes locally, from major commercial installations to intimate personal training studios, or quite frequently small home gym set-ups that might be too small or cost-prohibitive for our competitors to consider.
Our Growing Success Story
Over the past year, we've grown our team to eight passionate fitness equipment specialists. Each one is driven by our mission to create a healthier nation through tailored gym equipment advice. This growth reflects the trust our customers place in us. We're proud that we consistently receive five-star reviews from clients who appreciate our consultative approach and genuine commitment to their success.
Our customer base spans the full spectrum of the fitness industry: commercial gym chains, independent fitness studios, physiotherapy clinics, sports clubs, personal trainers, and thousands of home gym enthusiasts. From Premier League footballers to weekend warriors, Olympic athletes to fitness beginners, we've learned that everyone deserves access to quality equipment and expert advice, regardless of project size or budget.
The UK Fitness Landscape: Innovation Everywhere
What excites us most about working nationwide is witnessing the incredible diversity and innovation happening across the UK's fitness scene. Every city has its own character. Think about the industrial conversions in Birmingham, the Victorian warehouse transformations in London, and the purpose-built facilities in Scotland's new developments. This national experience means we bring best practices from across the country to every project, whether it's a major commercial installation in Manchester or a home gym conversion right here in Bristol.
Bristol perfectly embodies this national trend towards diverse, community-focused fitness. The city's fitness scene isn't just about the big chain gyms. It's the independent operators, specialist studios, and passionate trainers who are really driving innovation. Since establishing our local presence, we've had the privilege of supporting this vibrant community while applying the expertise we've gained from installations across the UK.
Over the past two years, we've had the honour of working with some absolutely incredible businesses across Bristol and the surrounding areas. Each project has been unique, but they all share one thing in common: a commitment to providing exceptional training experiences for their members.
Gym on the Green, Pill has been one of our standout success stories this year. We helped them launch with a complete equipment fit-out, and watching them build a thriving community of 150+ members in just a few months has been incredible. Their approach to creating a welcoming, results-focused environment perfectly captures what modern fitness is all about - something we see replicated in successful gyms from Glasgow to Brighton.
Bristol Physio High Performance Centre represents the cutting edge of rehabilitation and performance training. Working with their team to create a space that seamlessly blends clinical expertise with high-performance training equipment has been fascinating. It's exactly the kind of innovation we're seeing in specialist facilities across the UK.
The CrossFit community in Bristol is particularly strong. We've been proud to support CrossFit Henleaze, CrossFit Trym, and CrossFit BS8 with their equipment needs. Each box has its own personality and community, but they all share that distinctive CrossFit spirit of pushing boundaries and supporting each other. It's a culture we've witnessed in CrossFit gyms from Newcastle to Cornwall.
Trojan Fitness holds a special place in our hearts. It's an old-school gym with an incredible community spirit. There's something magical about these traditional training environments where serious lifters come to put in the work. Trojan perfectly embodies that ethos we see in the best independent gyms nationwide.
Riverside Gym and the team at Roger Gracie (where we helped launch another location this year) showcase the diversity of Bristol's martial arts and combat sports scene. These aren't just gyms; they're academies where technique, discipline, and respect are just as important as physical conditioning.
Supporting Local Fitness Entrepreneurs
What really excites us about our Bristol base is the breadth of projects we can support locally. From intimate PT studios tucked away in North Bristol, where trainers work one-on-one with clients to achieve incredible transformations, to women-only gyms in Bedminster creating safe, supportive spaces for female fitness journeys. Bristol's fitness scene truly has something for everyone.
This diversity isn't unique to Bristol. We see it in every city we work in across the UK. But being local here allows us to support projects at every scale, including smaller ventures that demonstrate the same passion and innovation we encounter in major cities nationwide.
Home Gyms: Where Creativity Meets Quality
Bristol's love affair with fitness extends well beyond commercial spaces. This reflects a trend we're seeing across the UK. We've completed hundreds of home gym installations not just locally, but from the Scottish Highlands to the Cornish coast. These range from compact garage conversions that maximise every square inch to purpose-built home training facilities that rival commercial gyms.
Just as we see nationwide, these home installations often become the foundation for entire family fitness journeys. Parents who start with a simple setup often find their children naturally gravitating towards training, creating healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Beyond Fitness: Equipment for Every Space
Our expertise extends beyond traditional gyms, serving diverse sectors across the UK. Within just Bristol, over the past year, we've equipped physio clinics, helped estate agents create impressive office wellness spaces, and worked with general businesses looking to support their teams' health and wellbeing.
Whether it's navigating the logistics of equipment delivery in Bristol's narrow Victorian streets or handling installations in London's converted warehouses, each project teaches us something new about how fitness and wellness can be integrated into different environments and lifestyles.
The Recharge Difference: National Expertise, Personal Service
Our rapid growth - with revenue increasing by over 130% year-on-year - reflects our unique position in the market. We combine the expertise and product range of a national supplier with the personal touch that comes from genuinely caring about every project. Our consistent five-star reviews and excellent employee retention rate demonstrate our commitment to both customer satisfaction and team excellence.
Whether we're installing equipment for a major gym chain in Birmingham or a home gym in rural Scotland, we bring the same consultative approach, quality products, and professional service. Our national experience means we understand the specific challenges different regions face - from planning considerations in historic buildings to logistics in remote locations.
Our Customers: From Olympians to Weekend Warriors
What makes us proudest is the diversity of customers who trust us with their fitness equipment needs:
Commercial gyms and chains across the UK seeking reliable, high-quality equipment

Home fitness enthusiasts from all walks of life

Each customer receives the same level of expertise and service, whether they're investing £500 or £50,000.
Looking Forward: The Future of UK Fitness
As we look ahead, we're incredibly excited about what's coming next for the UK's fitness scene. From Bristol to Edinburgh, we're seeing increasing interest in hybrid training approaches, a greater focus on mental health and recovery, and a growing understanding that fitness isn't one-size-fits-all.
The combination of innovation, community spirit, and commitment to health and wellness we see in Bristol exists in every city we serve across the UK. Fitness entrepreneurs nationwide are leading the way in creating inclusive, innovative, and effective training environments.
