At ZIPWEIGHTS, innovation meets passion to transform the weight training experience. Founded by Maryellen Bowman—a Registered Nurse, Certified Fitness Trainer, and industry expert with over 20 years of experience—ZIPWEIGHTS was born from a deep understanding of the challenges faced in traditional strength training.

While teaching choreographed group barbell weight training classes, Maryellen observed a recurring frustration: participants, especially women, struggled to quickly and easily change weights during workouts. The process of loading and unloading weights was not only cumbersome and time-consuming but also disrupted the flow of exercise routines and often discouraged people from embracing strength training altogether.

Motivated to create a solution, Maryellen partnered with her husband, an industrial designer, to invent a revolutionary system that would redefine the weight training experience. Together, they developed ZIPWEIGHTS—a patented free weight system designed for seamless, one-handed weight changes without the need to set down equipment or fumble with clamps. Modular by design, ZIPWEIGHTS easily adapts to barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells, providing unmatched efficiency, versatility, and ease of use.

With ZIPWEIGHTS, strength training becomes smoother, more empowering, and more accessible. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, our system ensures an uninterrupted workout flow, allowing you to focus on what matters most: building strength, confidence, and momentum.

ZIPWEIGHTS is the future of fitness—efficient, user-friendly, and ready to revolutionize the way the world lifts.
