Refreshment Systems Partners with Neubria to Power Smarter Gym Nutrition

Refreshment Systems (RSL) has announced an official partnership with Neubria, focused on transforming how gyms and fitness centres deliver nutrition to their members.
The partnership is designed to bring convenient, science-led performance nutrition directly into fitness environments, giving customers access to products that support focus, energy, recovery and overall wellbeing—exactly when they need it most.
Through RSL’s smart vending and refreshment solutions, gym members will benefit from 24/7 access to Neubria’s neuroscience-backed nutrition, positioned at key touchpoints such as reception areas, workout zones and exit points. Whether pre-workout, post-session, or on the go, customers can make healthier, performance-driven choices without queues or staffed retail counters.
Refreshment SystemsThe partnership delivers clear value for both gym operators and members. For operators, it enhances the member experience through premium, functional nutrition aligned to fitness goals, while creating new revenue streams via intelligent, self-service retail. Built-in telemetry provides data-led insights to understand purchasing behaviour and optimise product ranges, all delivered through low-maintenance, cashless solutions that integrate seamlessly into modern gym environments.
For customers, the benefits include trusted, science-backed products that support mental focus and physical performance, instant access before or after training, clear digital displays to support informed choices and consistent availability without reliance on staffed cafés or restricted opening hours.
‘Today’s gym members expect more than traditional vending’, said Steve May of Refreshment Systems. ‘By partnering with Neubria, we’re giving fitness centres the ability to offer premium, performance-focused nutrition through smart technology; and that supports both member wellbeing and operator growth.
‘Our goal has always been to make performance nutrition practical, not just aspirational’ Jonny Kennedy of Neubria added. ‘This partnership changes the narrative around vending, from confectionery to best-in-class, healthy snacks that genuinely support training and gains. As consumer habits shift towards convenience and buying products in the environments where they’re actually used, this model allows gym operators to offer science-backed nutrition exactly when it’s needed, at no cost to them, while unlocking a simple, passive income stream.”
The rollout will see Neubria products introduced across selected RSL vending and refreshment platforms within gyms and fitness centres nationwide, supported by joint promotions, digital content, and future innovation around personalised nutrition.
