PRESS RELEASE
BLK BOX and PureGym strengthen partnership with exclusive global supply contract
31 Oct 2023
BLK BOX will supply functional, free weights, studio and accessory equipment to PureGym / BLK BOX / PureGym
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the ongoing relationship between the two companies, further solidifying BLK BOX's commitment to supporting PureGym's expansion strategy across Europe, America, and the Middle East.
With over 500 gyms across the UK and Europe and serving almost 2 million members, PureGym has established itself as a leader in the fitness industry. The partnership between BLK BOX and PureGym, which began in 2018, has consistently aimed to provide gym-goers with the best equipment available, ushering in a new era of fitness and training modalities.
Ben Stocks, Managing Director at BLK BOX, commented: “This is an exciting new chapter in the ongoing relationship between BLK BOX and PureGym. We continue to receive great feedback from PureGym members who've been amazed by the transformation of their local gym. For us, this extension to the existing partnership will allow us to bring further innovation to the gym floor, whilst supporting a larger community of gym-goers with access to quality equipment and fitness solutions to help them reach their goals.”
The Functional Training Zones, a key component of the partnership, are flexible spaces adaptable for both individual workouts and group classes. These zones feature the Goliath series functional rig, agility turf, and a range of BLK BOX equipment, designed and manufactured at the company's headquarters in Belfast.
Richard Annetts, Head of Gym Format & Equipment at PureGym, praised the collaboration, stating: “We believe our ongoing partnership with BLK BOX helps us further distinguish our offering in the global value market. We have a very clear plan to deliver growth, and our partnership with BLK BOX is instrumental in achieving our aims. We were particularly impressed with the Functional Training Zone concept that BLK BOX specifically collaborated with us on, and we are keen on building upon the partnership to continue evolving our product offerings for our members.”
BLK BOX's commitment to quality and innovation was evident during the rigorous tender process in 2019. The company's ability to produce heavy-duty robust equipment, tailored to endure the high-use environment of PureGym's facilities, played a pivotal role in securing the contract. Furthermore, BLK BOX has established a dedicated in-house team to ensure a seamless project delivery process across PureGym's global estate, with ongoing projects in countries including the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, KSA, UAE, and the USA.
