DHZ partnership with 1. FC Union Berlin puts growing strength brand in the spotlight

PSLT Fitness Solutions says the partnership reflects DHZ’s growing profile as UK operators seek more choice and value from commercial fitness equipment

PSLT Fitness Solutions has welcomed DHZ Fitness’s announced partnership with German football club 1. FC Union Berlin, describing it as a significant moment for a brand gaining attention in the UK commercial fitness market.

The partnership brings DHZ into the world of professional football and gives the equipment manufacturer a prominent platform beyond the gym sector. For PSLT, which supplies DHZ equipment in the UK, it also brings a wider audience to a question more operators are asking: what should high performing commercial equipment cost?

DHZ has been building its UK presence with a broadening strength portfolio that gives operators options across different training styles, facility types and budgets. Among the ranges drawing attention are Titan, with its bold approach to serious strength training, and the Booty Range, a collection of five specialist plate loaded machines focused on lower body training.

Both reflect a shift in what operators expect from their gym floor. Members want equipment that supports specific training goals and feels compelling to use. Operators need that experience to work alongside the practical demands of a busy commercial facility and a viable investment plan.

PSLT believes DHZ is helping to disrupt the assumption that a strong equipment offering must always carry the highest price tag. The brand offers operators another way to create a distinctive strength space while making their investment work harder.

Graham Bertrand, Managing Director at PSLT Fitness Solutions, said:

“This partnership will put DHZ in front of people who may never have come across the brand in a gym. That’s an exciting prospect, because when operators take a closer look, they often find a much broader and more considered range than they expected.

“Titan and the Booty Range show where DHZ is heading. These are ranges designed for the kind of strength training people actively seek out, and they give operators an opportunity to build a gym floor with real impact at an accessible price point.

“An association with a professional football club also changes the conversation around the brand. Elite sport demands a serious approach to training and performance. While the partnership itself isn’t a product test, it places DHZ in that environment and signals the scale of its ambition. We’re looking forward to showing UK operators what the equipment can offer in their own facilities.”

For PSLT, the announcement comes as buying decisions across the UK fitness sector face greater scrutiny. Operators are assessing equipment on the experience it creates, the flexibility of the range and its long term commercial value, alongside the strength of the support behind it.

PSLT works with customers to select DHZ equipment for their facilities and supports projects through gym design, installation and ongoing service. Its wider offering brings together products, services, logistics and trade-in solutions to help operators develop and maintain their fitness spaces.

Bertrand added:

“A partnership can introduce people to a name. The equipment and the experience on the gym floor are what build lasting confidence. Our role is to help operators explore the DHZ range properly, identify what works for their members and support the facility long after installation.”
