Fitness that finally fits your life.
We’re Rachel and Van Aarde Pretorius — partners in life, parenting, and now, in building something we couldn’t find but desperately needed: Flexbox.
Our story began like many others. During the pandemic, we were navigating work, parenting, and wellness from a small two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles — with a toddler full of energy and zero space for gym equipment. As two seasoned fitness professionals (I’m a former personal trainer and model; Van coaches elite athletes and Hollywood clients), we knew how to train. But even with all our experience, we still struggled to make fitness fit our life.
The gym was out. Home equipment was either bulky, unattractive, or ineffective. We needed something compact, stylish, and powerful — a complete workout system that didn’t take over our home or our time.
So, we built it.
What started as sketches on our kitchen table became a full-scale solution: Flexbox — a beautifully designed, all-in-one workout bench that delivers over 300 exercises and seamlessly fits into your living space. No clutter. No installation. No excuses.
Every Flexbox is handcrafted in South Africa, where Van was born and raised. It’s thoughtfully designed to blend form, function, and modern living—made with premium vegan leather, brushed gold finishes, and luxe details. Each piece is built to support artisans and communities in both South Africa and the U.S., because fitness should be empowering — not overwhelming.
Flexbox isn’t just another workout bench. It’s a compact gym, sleek storage unit, and high-end furniture piece all in one. Portable enough to move from room to room, and elegant enough to leave out, it supports strength, Pilates, mobility, cardio, and recovery — all from a single bench. No tools, no setup, and no stress. Created by real people for real lives, it’s backed by over 20 years of training expertise and made for every fitness level, from beginners to elite athletes. Whether you have five minutes or fifty, Flexbox helps you move with purpose — no matter your schedule, space, or season of life.
Tucked inside the Flexbox is a full suite of premium equipment: resistance tubes with handles and straps, dumbbells, a slam ball, core sliders, a Pilates bar, a yoga mat, and more — all neatly stored and ready to go. You don’t need a home gym. You need one powerful tool that works with your lifestyle.
Flexbox is made for real people with real lives — the kind who are juggling work, family, and everything in between, but still want to feel strong, capable, and consistent. It’s for: Moms and dads trying to squeeze in movement during nap time or after bedtime. Career-driven women who want to prioritize wellness without sacrificing style or time. Remote and work-from-home professionals looking for quick, effective workouts between meetings. People who feel out of place in the traditional gym environment. Apartment dwellers and small-space owners who need solutions that work with — not against — their home. Beginners building confidence, athletes staying sharp, and everyone in between. Gen X, Boomers, and older Millennials who prefer intuitive tools over complicated tech. Anyone short on time but big on goals. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to work out, but I just can’t make it fit,” — Flexbox was made for you.
Make Fitness Possible for Everyone At Flexbox, our mission is to empower busy individuals who value health and style to stay active by making fitness more accessible, more beautiful, and more doable — especially for people who feel like they have no time, no space, or no energy left at the end of the day. We believe: Movement should be part of life, not a luxury. You don’t need an hour to feel strong — just a few focused minutes. Home workouts should feel just as powerful and fulfilling as gym workouts. You should never feel guilty or behind — just supported and encouraged.
Movement That Fits
Our vision is a world where fitness fits around your life, not the other way around.
Where the equipment you use supports your goals and your lifestyle — and looks great doing it.
We imagine a future where moms don’t have to sacrifice their well-being, where dads can lift more than just laundry baskets, and where busy professionals can find energy in the middle of their day without leaving the house.
For Real Life
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time, the right tool, or a sign to start prioritizing your well-being — this is it.
Flexbox isn’t just fitness equipment. It’s a mindset shift, a home upgrade, and a wellness companion rolled into one. Whether you’re stretching, sweating, or just showing up for 10 minutes — you’re doing something powerful!
That’s exactly why we created Flexbox — to support your real life, not compete with it.
So go ahead:
Reclaim your time.
Redefine your space.
Rediscover your strength.
We’re so glad you found us.
Welcome to the Flexbox family. Let’s move.
