How it got started

I actually began this journey with ExecutiveFit as a personal trainer. I spent 4 years building my home gym and training clients from there. Eventually I was looking to add a custom deadlift platform, but everywhere I looked companies were either too busy to bother with the little guy who just wants one or their design was so simple I felt like I could build one myself with similar quality. Unknowingly, that was the start of how I was going to pivot from personal training into building deadlift platforms.

The Mission

After building my first platform it gave me quite a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, feelings I was looking for out of personal training and failing to find. I decided to see if I could start selling platforms on Facebook marketplace. I made 1 listing and it kept me much busier than expected!

Eventually I had to fully let go of all clients to focus on building platforms. The fulfillment and enjoyment I felt was way overpowering than that from personal training.

The first platforms were simple. I would get the person's logo printed on a vinyl decal, apply it to the wood insert and clear over it. This was cool and fun for me, but I wanted to stand out. I knew other companies were doing that exact same thing, so I started brainstorming on how to add logo's to platforms BETTER. This brought me into the CNC world.

The Vision

With the addition of a CNC machine (basically a computerized router), I was able to carve logo's directly into the wood inserts of platforms making it physically impossible for the logo to peel up, a common problem with using vinyl decals.

Eventually as my skills and knowledge around CNC machining grew, the logos also got more and more intricate. I began filling carved portions with colored epoxy to create incredibly vibrant epoxy versions of logos. This brought a whole new level to the platform game. To the best of our knowledge, we are the only company offering a guarantee that your logo will never peel up from foot traffic, no matter the length of time.
