Eleve products x THE/STUDIO

1. Redefining fitness through design and sensory experience

Elevé was born out of a deep love for movement and the transformative power of mindful training. Its founder Yana discovered barre as both a physical and emotional outlet, a way to connect with the body beyond aesthetics. As her practice evolved, she noticed a gap in the market for home fitness tools that were not only functional but also beautifully designed.

During her certification as a barre instructor, she realized that most available equipment was either visually unappealing or constantly out of stock. The market was filled with bright, synthetic colors and bulky designs that clashed with modern living spaces. As someone who values minimalism and calm, she wanted to create a collection that looked and felt different, something that could live harmoniously within a home environment.

From that need, Elevé emerged, blending wellness, design, and sensory pleasure into one elegant concept.

2. Turning an idea into a product

Starting a product-based brand from a tech background came with challenges. The founder had a clear creative vision but no manufacturing experience. Her first searches were as simple as typing “weights factory Spain” online, only to realize that producing technical fitness equipment required more than just finding a supplier.

The products she envisioned were sophisticated and tactile, requiring high quality materials and precise molding. They needed to feel premium while remaining functional and durable. Finding a factory that understood this dual purpose seemed impossible until she discovered THE/STUDIO.

3. Creating with THE/STUDIO

What stood out immediately was the simplicity of working with THE/STUDIO. The founder could describe her vision and rely on a team that knew exactly how to bring it to life. Instead of cold transactional communication, she received hands-on guidance from experts who helped her navigate everything from sourcing to comparing quotes.

She had previously tried to source independently through platforms like Alibaba but found it overwhelming and unclear. THE/STUDIO streamlined the process entirely. The platform’s dashboard made it easy to review factory options, pricing, and timelines all in one place. And when communication gaps appeared, local staff reached out to suppliers directly, ensuring clarity and accuracy at every step.

4. Elegant tools for movement

The first Elevé collection includes three beautifully crafted pieces: the Eclipse Ring, a 5 lb ring-shaped weight, the Halo Bands, sleek ankle and wrist weights, and the Luna Ball, a soft Pilates-inspired tool for stability and strength training.

Each item was designed around the idea that movement tools should enhance a space, not clutter it. The color palette is soft and neutral, inspired by natural light and modern interiors. The silicone surfaces are smooth to the touch, giving each piece a sense of calm and luxury. Their sculptural forms turn them into decor-worthy objects that invite movement simply by being seen.

The Luna Ball quickly became the founder’s favorite piece. Compact, functional, and thoughtfully designed, it replaces the shiny plastic balls common in studios. Its matte surface and included pump elevate the experience, making something as simple as inflating a ball feel refined.

5. Launching with confidence

With THE/STUDIO managing the sourcing and production process, the founder could focus on what mattered most, building her brand identity and sharing her vision with the world. Every material, texture, and proportion was tested to align with Elevé’s philosophy of balance and beauty.

Today, Elevé stands as a brand that invites people to move differently. Its products encourage strength and mindfulness while integrating seamlessly into modern living spaces. By collaborating with THE/STUDIO, the founder was able to turn an idea born from personal passion into a tangible reality that redefines what home fitness can look and feel like.
