Balance Fitout, the gym equipment service, supply, and design company operating across the UK and Ireland, has been appointed as the exclusive distributor for Core Health & Fitness for Scotland. The announcement marks a significant milestone in Balance’s ongoing UK expansion.

The partnership gives Scottish gym owners, hotel operators and fitness equipment retailers direct access to some of the most recognised names in commercial fitness – including StairMaster, Nautilus, Schwinn, Star Trac and Throwdown – with the added advantage of Balance’s proven service infrastructure and technical expertise.

Balance has been operating in the commercial fitness sector for over 20 years, building a reputation for reliable equipment supply, bespoke gym design, and industry-leading aftercare. As the current exclusive distributor for Core Health & Fitness brands across Ireland, the company already operates a growing service network spanning Northern Ireland, Wales, and the Midlands – making Scotland a natural next step in its UK expansion.

Scottish facilities – from independent gyms and leisure centres to hotel fitness suites and university sports centres – will now benefit from Balance’s comprehensive, end-to-end service model. This includes equipment consultation and supply, full gym design and fit-out, professional installation and ongoing preventative maintenance and repair.

For equipment traders and retailers, the partnership opens a new supply channel for premium commercial fitness products backed by manufacturer warranty and dedicated local service support.

Balance’s service credentials are well-established. The company operates a paperless tracking system that keeps facility operators informed at every stage, and its client list includes Trinity College Dublin, Queen’s University Belfast, and major commercial gym operators across Ireland and the UK.

Mark Smyth, Owner of Balance, said: “We’ve been proud to represent Core Health & Fitness brands as their exclusive distributor in Ireland, and expanding into Scotland is a real milestone for Balance. It reflects the strength of our service model and the growing demand for premium equipment backed by dedicated local expertise. We’re excited to bring that same level of care and professionalism to Scotland’s fitness community.”

Danilo Djakovic, Indirect Channel Manager UK & Ireland, Core Health & Fitness, added: “Core Health & Fitness is proud to announce the appointment of Balance as our exclusive distributor in Scotland. We are delighted to partner with a company that shares our commitment to quality, innovation, and delivering exceptional fitness environments.

“Scotland is an important and growing region for us, and this partnership reflects our long-term investment in supporting operators with world class equipment and tailored solutions. Together, we are excited to deliver outstanding fitness experiences and support the continued growth of the health and fitness sector in Scotland.”
