This company manufactures a variety of fitness products which range from treadmills to boxing equipment, including exercise bikes, weight benches, weights, bards, martial arts equipment and cross trainers. York is one brand which aims to cover almost all of the fitness market with its variety of products.
York Fitness has a proud history which goes back over 75 years when it first emerged. Initially the company as it is known today, started off with two separate divisions. The first was founded in the USA in 1932, whereas the other had its roots in Canada in 1936, where it produced weights for the home consumer market.
Weight lifting equipments were the main products manufactured by York Barbell (which was founded in 1932) and were used in the Olympics. Bob Hoffman was the founder of the new company, and he has an extensive history in weightlifting. Such is his contribution to the sport that he was credited as being the “Father of World Weightlifting” by the Olympic Weightlifting Federation – a deserving recognition of his remarkable contributions to the sport. Hoffman also coached the USA Olympic weightlifting team and acted as an advisor to many Presidents on youth fitness, including Kennedy, Nixon and Eisenhower. The two divisions of York finally merged together in 2004 to create a brand which could dominate the consumer market as well as the professional market. There are more “York” branded weights in the world than any other brand.
