BeaverFit Australia has been appointed to the Defence Australia panel for the supply of deployable Mobile Training Gyms, providing the Australian Defence Force with a flexible solution for supporting physical readiness wherever the mission requires. Designed to support training on base, in the field and in remote locations, BeaverFit’s containerised Mobile Training Gym enables Defence personnel to establish a fully functional strength and conditioning environment in less than two hours, without relying on permanent infrastructure. This purpose-built solution supports operational readiness through integrated equipment storage and external training rigs — suitable for both individual and team-based physical training, and aligned to Defence Physical Employment Standards. Engineered to withstand harsh climates and intensive use, BeaverFit products are manufactured in Australia with in-country support, providing reliable delivery and sustainment. Scott Flint, Australia country manager for BeaverFit, said the appointment marks a significant milestone in BeaverFit’s continued growth and strengthens the company’s ability to support Defence capability across Australia. “It reflects our continued commitment to supporting the men and women who serve,” Flint said. “We’re honoured by the opportunity to work alongside Defence to deliver practical training environments that help personnel maintain readiness wherever they’re required to operate.” Founded in the United Kingdom, BeaverFit pioneered the original container gym before expanding to North America. Today, BeaverFit supports military organisations around the world with purpose-built human performance and tactical training environments, earning the trust of U.S. and NATO militaries through innovative solutions designed around operational requirements. In Australia, BeaverFit’s container gyms have already proven their capability in demanding environments, supporting Australian Federal Police operations in Papua New Guinea and remote mining operations in the Pilbara, where reliability and rapid deployment are essential. By combining globally proven designs with Australian-based delivery and support, BeaverFit provides Defence organisations with a low-risk procurement solution backed by local expertise, responsive sustainment and a commitment to long-term customer success.

BeaverFit acquires Bastion to expand global physical security capabilities
Shrewsbury, United Kingdom – BeaverFit, a leading global provider of high-security and tactical training solutions, has announced the acquisition of Bastion, a UK-based specialist in physical security systems. This acquisition further strengthens BeaverFit’s defence and security offerings, allowing the company to integrate Bastion’s modular walling systems into a broader suite of deployable infrastructure and force protection solutions. “We’ve long admired Bastion’s expertise in physical security and are thrilled to welcome them into the BeaverFit group,” said Tom Beaver, managing director and founder at BeaverFit UK. “This partnership allows us to combine forces and deliver even greater value to clients needing scalable, modular protection in mission-critical environments.” Founded in the late 1970s, Bastion has pioneered solutions designed to mitigate threats such as forced entry, ballistic impact, blast effects and surreptitious attack. Their newest innovation, the Multi-Threat™ modular room and walling system, is the first of its kind to allow on-site upgrades in response to evolving threat levels. The system features full LPS 1175: Issue 8 certifications from D5 to G5, a fire integrity rating at 120 minutes, and a recyclable, bolt-together assembly for easy deployment and relocation. “In an increasingly uncertain world, where defence and national security issues are prominent, key suppliers need scalable capabilities to develop and deliver next-generation solutions,” said Tom D., managing director at Bastion. Bastion’s product range and expertise will become part of BeaverFit’s security division, expanding the company’s ability to deliver modular solutions that support real-world operational requirements. “Bastion and BeaverFit have complementary assets and skills; and together, they have a huge opportunity to become a leader in innovative, rapidly deployable, highly protected workspace, in the UK and elsewhere,” Tom D. added. The combined offering will be showcased at the DSEI 2025 defence and security exhibition in London, 9-12 September at stand N3-260 in the Land Zone (North Hall). The acquisition is a part of BeaverFit’s continued mission to grow its UK and global footprint, while meeting the increasingly complex needs of defence and security clients. Bastion’s design and manufacturing capabilities will remain based in the UK, supporting UK and international projects.
