Equip Sport is a Swiss-based start-up that provides free sports equipment through connected stations accessed through a mobile app in public spaces.
Their mission is to help people play anytime, anywhere without needing to own or carry their own gear.
Equip Sport works to remove barriers to sport by combining the sharing economy with urban sports culture. Their model supports more active, inclusive communities by providing convenient, free access to sports equipment.
Where equip sport operates
Equip Sport operates more than 450 stations in more than 10 countries across Europe, with recent expansions into Canada and upcoming activations in other major global cities.
What makes Equip Sport different from other sports equipment or sharing economy platforms
Equip Sport combines accessibility, technology, and culture, offering 24/7 free access to quality equipment in prime urban locations, driven by partnerships with global brands and local communities.
Equip Sport offers a 360 solution, access to equipment for the community, 24/7 360 degree maintenance of each station deployed handled by the Equip Sport team, and impact driven insights for cities and brands to better serve their communities. Equip Sport delivers access, impact, and community connection for its partners all the while handling all maintenance and upkeep needs.
Equip Sport’s station design is one-of-a-kind, so effective that others are already copying the flexible support system we created, which allows our stations to be installed virtually anywhere.
This innovation, paired with our industry-leading maintenance operations, makes us the only provider capable of running over 100 stations in a single city while keeping the player experience consistently smooth, reliable, and on point.
Sessions and players supported
To date, Equip Sport supports over 100,000 players, who have played more than 1 million sessions of sport for free.
