Our history

The founders

Antoine and Nicolas

After a master's degree in Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence in Paris, the two brothers discovered the world of start-ups and became passionate about entrepreneurship. In 2020, the health crisis directly affects them, both in their work and in their passion, bodybuilding. They then decided to launch Venice Weights.

From idea to project

When the dream becomes reality

They looked for a way to make sports and bodybuilding accessible to everyone. So everyone can continue to train at home by building their own Homegym without spending a fortune! Concrete quickly proved itself to be the most durable and economical material for making bodybuilding weights.

The inspiration

Why VENICE?

Venice is a district of the city of Los Angeles in the United States. There is a legendary place called Muscle Beach , it is a famous outdoor gym located on the beach and in front of the promenade. This iconic place is the Mecca of bodybuilders from the 70s like Arnold Schwarzenegger who trained there in front of a crowd of curious people. This is the Venice spirit, the 70s, the American dream, the nostalgia for the golden age of bodybuilding where the equipment was raw. The Old School touch is very appreciated by bodybuilding practitioners and concrete is the perfect example.

Our engagement

INFINITELY REUSABLE

Aware of the impact and future ecological issues of the fitness industry and the carbon footprint of traditional cast iron weights (extraction, transport, recycling, etc.). We offer products made from high quality recycled materials. In fact, our molds are infinitely reusable!

Our origins

Royan, the city of concrete and the ocean

Originally from Royan in Charente-Maritime, the parallel with Los Angeles is made, the concrete city by the ocean will be the base camp for Venice Weights.
