Engineering a better grip
The Design Origin
OPTIMO FITNESS ERGONOMICS® was founded in 2016 by Toronto based lifter Pierre Dini. While training, Pierre noticed a basic flaw in traditional gym equipment. The standard round barbell is a design that has barely changed in over a century. It concentrates load into a narrow pressure point in the hand. It works, but it does not align with the natural shape of the palm.
Realizing that standard equipment ignores human anatomy, Pierre developed a solution. A winged ergonomic grip designed to increase surface contact, improve stability, and distribute load more evenly across the hand and wrist.
Our vision
The Optimo Grip
The Optimo grip is the result of four years of iterative design and field testing with professional athletes and high-volume trainees. Unlike standard cylindrical handles, the Optimo design is built to match the natural anatomy of the human hand.
By reconfiguring the contact point between the athlete and the weight, the grip maximizes palm engagement and stabilizes the wrist. This mechanical advantage reduces joint strain and allows for higher force output across barbells, dumbbells, and cable attachments.Our focus is utility.
We utilize high-density, durable materials to ensure the grips maintain their structural integrity under heavy loads while providing a secure, slip-resistant surface for every set.Our goal with Optimo Grips is to provide you with the most durable, versatile, and comfortable grips in the industry and make your workouts more enjoyable.
