FAQ

• What makes ZIVA free weights and gym equipment special?
  There are a couple of things that put ZIVA gym gear head and shoulders above the competition, but our quality is what makes us truly elite. Our dumbbells, barbells, weight discs, and all our other exercise equipment use high quality materials that last long, look great, and have a distinctively premium feel. Our manufacturing facilities are built to achieve the highest standards of quality, so every piece of exercise equipment we produce guaranteed to be accurately weighted and defect-free.
  
• I’m just a beginner. Are free weights right for me?
  Absolutely! Beginners can use dumbbells, barbells, and even kettlebells to build a solid fitness foundation, a great physique, and to get started on their fitness journey! Of course, you will want to start with lighter weights, whatever you’re lifting, and you should gradually increase the weight as your strength improves. Before you start, though, you’ll want to get familiar with basic exercises and how to perform them. Check out our Training Club and the ZIVA Exercise Library to get started!
  
• I want to lift heavy and move big weights. Is ZIVA up to the task?
  More than up to the task. ZIVA crafts elite-level hex bars, triceps bars, and Olympic bars that can handle the heaviest loads. For maximum loads, the ZVO Premium Olympic Bar is rated to 900kgs! If you’re lifting that much, we probably already sponsor you! All the gym equipment we produce is made with the toughest, most durable materials and has been precision engineered to ensure users’ safety and performance.
  
• What warranty is offered on ZIVA gym gear?
  ZIVA is proud to offer comprehensive, generous warranties on all our equipment. Generally speaking, we offer lifetime warranties on our Olympic bars while on our squat racks and weight racks we are able to offer a 10-year warranty. We deliver a 5-year warranty on our barbells and dumbbells, and a year-long warranty on our functional fitness equipment.
  
• What does “Commercial Quality” mean?
  ZIVA started out as a free weight supplier for the world’s best brands, delivering dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, racks and benches to the biggest names in the business. That means the equipment we make had to be able to face intense use, day-in and day-out, and had to stay looking and feeling like new. We have maintained that same level of quality – what we call “commercial quality” – on everything that we make, from our functional fitness equipment to our heavy-duty free weights.
