For years, GYMwood has stood for high-quality fitness equipment that is manufactured regionally from the natural material wood with the utmost care. The origins of the brand date back to 2012, when founder Berthold Meyer and his team of experts developed the fle-xx equipment for the well-known backbone concept. Since 2020, the development, production, service and sales of the fle-xx line have been united directly under the umbrella of GYMwood - with impressive success.
