SRT Barbell

The most functional barbell in the world.
Burn double the calories and train more muscles. Ideal for group classes.

The SRT barbell is a patent, created by the fitness trainer, Nikos Daflidis.

With the SRT you can squeeze in or out the springs so you can train more muscle groups during any exercise, improve joint-stability and coordination. Also, increases basal metabolism rate (BMR) thanks to the extra energy that is required to squeeze the springs. There are different spring resistances (soft, medium, strong) so that everyone can use it regardless of their level. The SRT barbell takes your workout in a totally new level.

In 2015, to test the waters, Nikos cooperated with Lebert Fitness and showed the SRT at the IHRSA trade show and received amazing feedback from both professionals and gym clients. They produced 2000 pieces, all of which sold very quickly – right around the world.

The SRT is a multifunctional barbell with spring technology
and finally it is something new that works!

The problem

For many years, the most popular group class in gyms, the barbell class or pump class, has remained almost the same.
Work out ended up being repetitive and only music differentiates among exercises.
Consequently, this led to demotivating trainees and discouraging from participating in relevant classes.

The Solution

Making the barbell more functional and exciting. Something different.

The ability to push the springs inward or outward gives the opportunity of a completely different dimension and catches the eye of millions of fans for this type of group class worldwide. A barbell that trains more, burns more calories, increases the range of exercise miles away and has more fun. What else could anyone ask for?

The market opportunity

The statistic shows the total number of health and fitness clubs worldwide from 2009 to 2017. In 2017, there were more than 201,000 fitness and health clubs worldwide. In 2014, there were over 183,000 health clubs worldwide, a significant increase from 128,500 in 2009.

Globally more than 170 million people were members of a health/fitness club. About 25% of population in the US, who work out at least once per month, admit that exercise, workout or sports in general is part of their daily routine according to a Statista survey.
