About Us

BlackBear Fitness Ltd was founded on a simple but powerful belief: great service, high-quality products, and fair pricing should never be mutually exclusive. For our founder and Managing Director, Anthony Youngs, these aren’t just business principles—they’re non-negotiables.

In late 2020, Anthony launched BlackBear Fitness while still working full-time as a Project Manager. With high ambitions and grounded expectations, he began building the business from a spare bedroom, fuelled by determination, industry insight, and a deep respect for his customers. What followed was rapid growth—driven by a perfect storm of rising market demand and the relentless service, reliability, and unbeatable pricing that set BlackBear apart from day one.

From that spare room, the business grew—into more rooms, the garage, and eventually the living room—until BlackBear Fitness secured its first commercial premises in Yaxley, Peterborough. Today, we operate in a newer 7x bigger building than our first HQ. Where we serve our clients needs every day!

Trusted Locally. Respected Nationally.

Our reputation for exceptional service and product quality has helped us grow far beyond local collections. We've fulfilled thousands of national orders with express shipping, and shipped full gym setups and bespoke equipment internationally—from Dubai to Germany, Kuwait to countless other global destinations.

We’ve had the privilege of supplying equipment and completing installations for some of the most respected organisations in the world, including:

• • NHS Mental Health Facilities

  • Metropolitan Police Service

  • US Air Force & US Army Bases

  • British Armed Forces, supporting pre-deployment training

  • Fire Stations across the UK

We take particular pride in supporting our front-line police, medics, fire services, and military personnel. It's an honour to serve those who serve others—and long may those partnerships continue.

More Than a Brand. A Standard.

At BlackBear Fitness, we don’t chase trends—we deliver solutions. Whether you’re a beginner building a garage gym, a coach equipping a facility, or a procurement lead sourcing gear for elite teams, we bring the same level of commitment to quality, service, and long-term value.

Smartly priced. Seriously built. Relentlessly reliable. That’s the BlackBear Fitness standard.
