In the seamless intersection of fitness and aesthetics, a novel trend is emerging that redefines the concept of workout equipment: pieces that not only serve their functional purpose of keeping us fit but also double as stunning works of art. Imagine kettlebells that mimic sculptures, yoga mats that look like abstract paintings, and dumbbells crafted with the precision of a master jeweler. Here’s some of the latest fitness equipment that is making a bold statement when it comes to integration of art, lifestyle, and well-being.
Spinefitter, Sissel
A piece of modern art or is it a back stretcher? This device, while looks straight from the MOMA gift shop, is actually a back stretcher device from Sissel. Dubbed the “spinefitter”, it’s a favorite of pilates users and can help relieve spine tension and be incorporated during exercises.
Combo Ana Workout Set, Modern Relik
For those looking to splurge on a workout set that can double as an in-home art installation, consider the Ana Workout Set from Modern Relik. This exquisite collection includes dumbbells, kettlebells, an exercise mat, and some fitness accessories. It comes in three varieties of wood and two unique leather finishes. Custom-made upon request in Europe.
LVDIS Marble Fitness Equipment Collection, MOHD
This home-worthy collection features a range of marble fitness gear, including dumbbells, discs, and kettlebells, drawing inspiration from the ancient Roman games. Each piece is meticulously designed to echo the Hellenistic period, down to the finest details—like the Roman numerals marking their weight and the grooves of Doric columns on the octagonal handles.
Wunda Chair, Peak Pilates
Famous for its user-friendly design, the robust and cozy Wunda Chair provides Pilates users a variety of resistance levels among single-pedal chairs (and looks almost too good to not put in a living room). The fashionable chair is built to be adaptable, equipped with optional accessories such as handles, cushions, and a tall backrest, all available for separate purchase.
Tonal Gym
The Tonal Gym is an innovative, all-in-one fitness system that combines resistance training and digital technology to offer a personalized workout experience right in your home. It’s designed to be compact and sleek, making it an ideal addition to any living room or home gym space without taking up the floor space that traditional gym equipment would.
Massage Ball Set, Pvolve
Pun incoming: Maybe a stretch, but these massage balls from Jennifer Aniston’s favorite exercise company Pvolve (used to stimulate blood circulation when rolled over muscles) could easily double as a set of decorative orbs. Find them in sleek black and neutral tones.
