Movement doesn’t have to mean a different life.
It can start with a little room in the one you already have.
Chenyu Wang and Chengshan Gu founded DEFIT in 2020 around a simple idea: a home workout could start with just one square metre of space.
Our first products were adjustable dumbbells and training racks. Today, that same idea shapes our silicone weights and yoga essentials: make room for movement, without asking your whole life to move around it.
Start with how people actually move.
Consider the shape, the feel and the way each piece is made.
Make practice a part of life, at your own pace.
One founder came through entrepreneurship. The other came through competitive sport. Both found something in training that stayed with them beyond the workout.
Inspired by Bruce Lee as a teenager, Chenyu made training part of his life. At university, he built a shared workout space so others could take part, too.
His path into business brought early success, difficult setbacks and a fresh start at JD.com and Xiaomi. Through it all, training gave him a steady routine and a reason to keep going.
He brought that experience to DEFIT: the belief that small, consistent steps can help us move forward.
A competitive shot-put athlete and Jiangsu youth record holder, Chengshan developed an early feel for how the body moves under load.
After postgraduate study in sport at the University of Edinburgh, he spent six years in product management with fitness equipment brands across international markets.
At DEFIT, he brings that experience to the details of equipment: how it moves, how it feels and how it is made.
Where our story began
DEFIT began during the pandemic, when many people were finding new ways to train at home. Chenyu and Chengshan brought their experience together to create equipment for that everyday need.
Since then, customer feedback has continued to shape our direction—from home strength training to the smaller essentials that fit into a daily routine.
From personal workout spaces to shared training environments.
Our products have reached customers across Europe, Southeast Asia and beyond.
Overseas fitness and bodybuilding competitions sponsored by DEFIT.
A few minutes. A corner of your home. A practice that feels like yours.
That’s a good place to start.
