The Sparkfield Story

From Vision to Revolution in the Fitness Industry

Our Vision

At Sparkfield, we firmly believe that regular strength training has positive effects on people of all ages and is therefore essential for health and well-being.

Our vision was to make an efficient and inspiring full-body strength training experience available in the preferred environments of our users. Drawing on our expertise in strength training and modern robotics, we aimed to develop a device that is not only multifunctional and space-saving but also provides precise data analysis for performance enhancement and injury prevention.

Our goal was to create a training device that is equally suitable for beginners and professional athletes, providing a comprehensive, exciting, safe, and motivating training experience.

With Sparkfield Core, we have not only developed a fitness device but also created a comprehensive training solution that paves the way for a new era in the fitness industry.

They began developing conceptual ideas to fundamentally change the strength training experience and filed initial patent applications. Initial studies were conducted at their former employer, Bosch.
