Gym Marine has begun its 10th year of business! 💫🙌
We are celebrating a momentous milestone as we enter our 10th year of trading.
Over the past nine years, Gym Marine has worked on over 450 superyacht gym projects, ranging from full custom gym design for new builds and refits to charter equipment rentals, and we can now attest to having gym designs and equipment on over 60% of the 100 largest superyachts.
It hasn’t all been plain sailing for founder Edward Thomas, however. His first endeavour to sell a rowing machine to a superyacht left him 17 Euros out of pocket! Thankfully, lessons were learnt and today, Gym Marine's annual turnover is in excess of £3 million.
Since its inception, Gym Marine has expanded into the luxury residential and commercial sectors with many projects commissioned by yacht owners seeking the same bespoke, high specification gyms for their residential properties.
2023 has seen some exciting developments:
👉 This summer, we launched Gym Marine Plus, which offers enhanced after-sales and servicing cover.
👉 We have widened our international network of accredited service technicians to ensure a premium level of customer service.
👉 The design team developed of a bespoke range of sea-fastenings, as well as rain covers to prolong the life of outdoor equipment.
We continue working to improve the science and planning that go into crew gym spaces and are delighted to have SaltLick Fitness as our yacht crew wellbeing partner. This collaboration offers SaltLick Fitness’ specialised crew fitness programmes as an optional extra to any yacht or crew working with Gym Marine.
And, the most recent addition to the Gym Marine Group, is the launch of sister company Coral Spa Consultants. This strategic move to provide a more holistic wellness offering to clients has already proved extremely popular.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank all our clients and suppliers who have trusted and supported our business over the past nine years. I could not have imagined when I first started the company that we could achieve such a strong reputation within the industry and a raft of high-profile repeat clients. I am hugely grateful for my team, and in particular my business partner Guy Royffe, for all they do and the brilliant culture we have created at Gym Marine over the years. We are excited to see what the next 10 years have in store.” – Edward Thomas, Managing Director of the Gym Marine Group.
