Eleiko
The Strength Equipment Trusted at the Olympics, Supported by One Team
Eleiko is the most credentialed name in strength equipment. In January 2026, the International Weightlifting Federation has appointed Eleiko as the Sole Supplier of Weightlifting equipment for the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad, taking place in Los Angeles, USA, in 2028. Every barbell, plate, and platform on that Olympic stage will be Eleiko. It is a fitting chapter for a brand that has equipped the world's biggest lifting stages for decades.
Made in Sweden since 1957, Eleiko was the first fitness brand certified by the IWF, back in 1969, and is also certified by the IPF for powerlifting and the WPPO for para powerlifting. More than 1,000 world records have been set on an Eleiko bar, and the equipment is used in training and competition in over 180 countries.
Ardent Fitness brings this competition-grade equipment to your space. We design your layout, deliver and install nationwide, customize your setup, help you finance it, and service it for the life of the equipment. Eleiko builds the equipment. We build everything around it.
Shop EleikoThe Eleiko Strength System
Eleiko's strength range is built to work together, from the rack you build your floor around to the storage that keeps it organized. Explore each series below, all designed, installed, and serviced by Ardent Fitness.
Prestera Racks & Rigs
The anchor of the strength floor. Prestera is a modular system that integrates racks, rigs, cables, attachments, storage, and lifting platforms into one configurable footprint. Start with a power rack, squat rack, half rack, or rig, then scale it over time, with consistent hole spacing and numbering across the system for precise, repeatable setups.

Cables
Friction-free cable training, built to your space. Eleiko Cables range from slim wall-mounted units to comprehensive multi-stations, with precision aluminium pulleys and the resistance marked right on the weight stack. Truly modular, with none of the fixed frames that limit traditional cable machines, and a design that integrates with Prestera.

Lifting Platforms
Quiet where it matters, strong where it counts. Eleiko's SVR (Sound and Vibration Reduction) platforms dampen the noise and vibration of dropped barbells, making heavy training possible on upper floors and in noise-sensitive buildings. The range includes SVR weightlifting, deadlift, and insert platforms, plus traditional freestanding platforms with select IWF and IPF competition-certified options.

Storage Systems
A clean, efficient, clutter-free floor. Eleiko storage keeps plates, bars, dumbbells, and kettlebells organized and within reach, as freestanding units, wall-mounted configurations, or storage integrated into your Prestera racks. IWF- and IPF-certified competition plate racks for training and competition.

Barbells
The bar that set the standard. Eleiko organizes its barbells into three tiers: Competition Series bars built to IWF weightlifting, IPF powerlifting, and WPPO para-powerlifting specs, Training Series bars with competition-grade feel for daily use, and Multi-purpose Series bars, including Performance, Hybrid, and Technique bars for general strength, functional fitness, and skill work. Eleiko bars are forged from proprietary Eleiko Steel, bend-tested to spring back straight, and finished with precise needle-bearing sleeve rotation.

Plates
Plates for every platform. Eleiko offers IWF, IPF, and WPPO certified competition plates, plus sport training plates, powder-coated cast iron, PU-covered steel, and recycled crumb-rubber bumpers. Eleiko made its first rubber bumper plate in 1968, and the range still sets the reference for accuracy and durability. Sold as lifting sets, with individual-piece pricing available on request.

Evo Dumbbells
Two styles, the same Eleiko feel. Evo Rotating dumbbells use a bearing handle that reduces wrist torque for Olympic-style and high-rep work, while Evo Fixed dumbbells use a chromed steel handle for stable, strength-focused pressing and rows. Many facilities run both across different training zones. Sold as sets, with individual-piece pricing available on request.

Kettlebells
Built for control and consistency. Eleiko kettlebells bring the same durability and feel to swings, cleans, and carries, and are sold as sets for efficient outfitting.
