We make workout equipment that isn't so...equipmenty.
Married to the idea.
When the pandemic hit, Kristen—of our founding husband-and-wife duo Justin and Kristen—couldn’t bring herself to go into the basement and work out. (Understandably so, it’s cold, dark, and full of laundry Justin hasn’t folded yet.)
One day, she mentioned that she wished she had a set of weights that looked good enough to keep upstairs. And Justin, a seasoned industrial designer and product developer, thought the idea was so good he made it happen for her and other households in need of workout equipment you don’t have to hide.
