About us
As the Group Reformer market grows, experience and credibility are more important than ever. Peak Pilates, founded in the US in the early 1990s and now part of Mad Dogg Athletics, is globally recognised for preserving the original teachings of Joseph Pilates while advancing equipment design for modern studios.

Established in 2003, Gymkit UK has been the exclusive UK distributor of Peak Pilates equipment for over 15 years, combining international heritage with deep local expertise. Together, we help health clubs, studios and operators create Pilates offerings that are both authentic and commercially successful.

Gymkit UK delivers more than reformers. Our fully operational Reformer showroom and education centre - the largest in the UK - provides a real working environment where operators can experience the full potential of Pilates. This enables us to offer complete endto- end support, operational expertise and premium equipment solutions..

Product range and services
Peak Pilates is best known for its high-quality equipment, alongside a comprehensive instructor certification programme.

At Gymkit UK, we deliver a fully integrated solution for health clubs, studios, hotels, and fitness operators looking to launch or scale Pilates with confidence.

Our offering spans premium equipment supply, studio design and space planning, pre-opening marketing strategy, and ongoing operational support. Central to this is education. Through our FitCore education programme, we develop highly skilled instructors capable of delivering safe, effective, and commercially successful group reformer workouts, ensuring our partners maximise long-term performance. From pricing and programming to servicing and aftercare, every element is aligned to support sustainable success.

What sets us apart is our understanding of the full lifecycle of a Pilates business. Our team brings real-world experience across design, launch, and operation. We know what drives participation, retention, and revenue and apply that insight to every project. In a crowded and fast-moving market, we help our partners cut through the noise with well-designed studios, exceptional education and a model built for longevity.
