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 designed 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, and remote professionals looking for quick, effective workouts between meetings. It’s for people who feel out of place in traditional gym environments, apartment dwellers and small-space owners who need solutions that fit their homes, and beginners building confidence just as much as athletes staying sharp. Whether you're Gen X, a Boomer, or an older Millennial who prefers intuitive tools over complicated tech — or simply someone short on time but big on goals — Flexbox was made for you. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to work out, but I just can’t make it fit,” Flexbox exists to help you make it happen.
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 those 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 sessions, and you should never feel guilty or behind—only supported and encouraged.
