Levaïa started with two sisters who have always wanted to build something together.

We’ve always shared the same active lifestyle, we’re huge Pilates enthusiasts and movement is an essential part of our daily routine.

 One day, on a walk together, we had a simple thought: how good would it be if this did more? If we could add something small that made the simple activity of walking more effective and something that worked on our arms too.

That’s where the idea started.

We went looking for ankle and wrist weights in Australia, thinking it would be easy. It wasn’t. Everything we found just wasn’t right. Either too expensive, poor quality, uncomfortable, or just not designed in a way that fit into our everyday lives. 

At some point, we stopped looking at what was out there and started thinking… what if we just made it ourselves?

It felt a little crazy, but it also made sense. We had always talked about starting a business together, and this was something we actually needed, something that we were both really passionate about.

Levaïa comes from the Spanish word “levar” meaning; to lift. A small nod to our background, and to the idea of elevating the way we move, even in the simplest moments.

So that’s what we set out to do: create ankle and wrist weights that feel good to wear, work properly, and are actually accessible here in Australia.

Nothing overcomplicated. Just something we wish existed

And now here we are! Stocked in major retailers such as Style runner & many pilates and gym studios nation wide… This is just the beginning 👀
