The Challenge

Traditional gym vending offered members a limited range, a poor experience and little value for the venue — with no way for brands to tell their story or for operators to understand demand.

The Solution

Bright.Blue deployed its connected retail platform with Selecta UK across the estate: media-enabled automated retail units with an online-grade touchscreen experience, contactless checkout, retail media and an extended online range.

The Outcome

A connected retail experience rolled out across more than 245 gyms nationwide, improving member convenience while opening new revenue for the venue and brands.

What We Deployed

The parts that made it work.

  • Media-enabled automated retail units on the gym floor
  • Touchscreen shopping with multi-item basket and contactless checkout
  • Nutrition, hydration, recovery and gym essentials
  • Retail media and brand storytelling on full-motion screens
  • Centrally managed planograms, pricing and content

Background

Bright.Blue partnered with The Gym Group and Selecta UK to deploy our next-generation connected retail platform across more than 245 gyms nationwide.

What We Deployed

Each gym received media-enabled automated retail units running the full Bright.Blue platform — an intuitive, online-grade shopping experience, contactless payments, retail media and an online range that reaches beyond the products physically inside the machine.

Delivered together with Selecta UK, the rollout shows how connected retail can scale across a national estate while improving the member experience and creating new, measurable value for venues and brands.
