In 2025, Gym Gear proudly celebrates its 20th year in business – a major milestone that marks two decades of delivering high-performance gym equipment, bespoke design solutions, and trusted support to facilities across the UK. From humble beginnings to national reach, the journey has always been about more than just fitness – it’s been about people, progress, and partnerships that last.
Gym Gear began in 2005, founded by David Bulcock, Richard Lambert, and Roy Bulcock – three directors with a shared vision to supply high-quality gym equipment backed by exceptional service. What started as a small, family-led business has grown into a trusted name in the fitness industry, supporting gyms, leisure centres, schools, universities, and commercial operators across the country.
Over the past two decades, Gym Gear has been privileged to support thousands of organisations in bringing their fitness spaces to life.
From complete refurbishments to new builds, the company’s expert in-house design and installation teams have worked closely with clients to create training environments that not only look great but deliver real performance.
Despite the scale of growth, the company has never lost sight of its values: integrity, reliability, and long-term relationships. Many of the clients and suppliers Gym Gear worked with in its early days are still part of the journey today — a testament to the quality of service and trust built over time.
Richard Lambert, Director"We’re incredibly proud to have supported so many gyms, leisure operators, schools, emergency services and training professionals over the past 20 years - helping them create spaces that perform, grow, and inspire."
Looking ahead, Gym Gear is continuing to push forward with new equipment developments, smart technology integration, and industry collaborations — including its growing involvement with DEKA, the globally recognised fitness competition series.
From connected cardio solutions to functional training products and custom-branded equipment, Gym Gear remains focused on supporting a wide range of facilities with products that evolve alongside the industry.
David Bulcock, Director"Our aim has always been to combine innovation with real-world functionality. We're investing in performance-driven kit that meets the needs of today’s athletes and operators - and prepares them for what’s next."
As Gym Gear grows, so too does its commitment to corporate clients – from large leisure operators and councils to schools and commercial gym chains. The company continues to offer tailored support at every stage, from concept and design to delivery, installation, and maintenance.
Roy Bulcock, Director"Delivering long-term value for our clients has always been our priority, it has been a genuine pleasure to work with so many brilliant customers and suppliers over the years, and we remain committed to the high standards and family values that shaped this business from the start."
Behind every project is a team of people who make it happen. From our service engineers and installation crews to our customer support and design specialists, the Gym Gear team plays a vital role in delivering the standard our clients expect. Their attention to detail, reliability on-site, and commitment to ongoing support have helped us earn the trust of thousands of customers over the past 20 years. It’s their work (often behind the scenes), that ensures every gym runs smoothly, from day one and long into the future.
The coming years will see further investment in infrastructure, future products, improved lead times, and even more refined customer support services. The goal is simple: to help clients stay ahead with equipment, service, and solutions that go further.
As Gym Gear marks 20 years, we extend our sincere thanks to every client, supplier, and team member who has been part of the journey – and look forward to continuing to grow together.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your equipment, design a new training space, or explore tailored fitness solutions, we’re here to help.
