Ziva - Strength in the vertical

Ziva has been quietly growing its presence in the European market, delivering reliable, cost-effective kit that’s made in-house


In today’s fast-moving fitness industry, finding long-lasting, great-looking, high-quality equipment is hard; getting it delivered quickly is even harder; and knowing you’ll get fast, knowledgeable service after you buy it can feel impossible.

At Ziva, we’re committed to making the impossible happen. We can do it because we’ve built our own infrastructure from the ground up to supply fitness facilities of all kinds, from some of the industry’s largest gym chains, to small, boutique studios, to personal home gyms.

But what makes Ziva different? We do everything ourselves – design, production and even warehousing are all done in-house and where most of our competitors rely on contract manufacturing, we personally oversee every stage of production – from raw material selection to final inspection – to guarantee our customers get equipment that’s built to last and feels consistent on every rep.

It’s because of this that we’re trusted by our customers and have grown into a business with over US$70 million a year in global sales and because we do it all ourselves, we can be as agile and responsive as this fast-moving industry demands.

Where others are limited by their partners, Ziva consistently innovates and improves without having to wait on anyone else. We bring new products to market, invent longer-lasting materials, make our products and operations more sustainable and find smarter ways to raise the bar faster.

Designed and made in-house
What may matter more to buyers, however, is what our agility means for brand- and space-specific product customisation. The fact that we design and manufacture on our own means we can go from logo file to completed custom set of dumbbells, grip discs, or other equipment in days instead of months. And when a gym owner needs a custom rig tailored to fit its unique space or its members’ special training style, we can go from specs to finished product in just a few weeks.

Our logistics infrastructure is as robust and responsive as our design and manufacturing. From a central European distribution centre with over 7,500sq m of storage capacity located on the outskirts of Prague, Ziva warehouses over 2,000 different product types, giving us the ability to fulfill and deliver orders to sites across mainland Europe and the UK within 7–10 days, with 99.8 per cent of shipments delivered on time. Directed by a newly automated fulfillment system, we’ve radically reduced lengthy lead times so our customers can upgrade and grow with no wait.

All of this goes to explaining why Ziva — despite our relatively low-key profile — has managed to become so trusted by so many of the most successful operators in the industry. Currently, we supply all free weights, rigs and functional accessories to over 1,600 Basic-Fit locations in Europe alone. This is a reflection of our quality and consistency, but we are also buoyed by an ability and willingness to create custom-branded ordering portals and webshops tailored to key clients’ needs. These bespoke systems allow gym operators to manage across multiple locations, approving product selections, controlling budgets, and streamlining invoicing in full alignment with company procurement procedures.

Proven over time
In the UK, Ziva has had an established presence going back more than a decade, with tonnes of equipment from original 2013/14 installations still performing well in clubs around the country. This has earned us a reputation for durability, reliability and long-term value in facilities that put performance over pretence.

Beginning in 2023, we began to establish a greater sales and service presence in the UK, giving operators even more reason to rely on Ziva for quality kit, delivered fast, with confidence.

For those that know us, we’ve proven that Ziva is more than a supplier – we’re a partner in performance, empowering everyone on the fitness journey with equipment that looks beautiful, performs flawlessly, and lasts.
