We’ve always believed in keeping fitness simple, functional, and effective. Now, Prevention Magazine agrees.

We’re thrilled to announce that the RUKVEST has been named a Winner in the Fitness Equipment category of the 2025 Prevention Health & Fitness Awards.

The Prevention team tested hundreds of products designed to improve your health, fitness, and wellbeing and chose the standouts that truly deliver. We’re incredibly proud to be recognised alongside brands making a real difference in the health and wellness space.

Why the RUKVEST?

RUKVEST was designed for real people living real lives. Whether you're walking the dog, recovering from injury, or training for something big, our weighted vest turns everyday movement into something meaningful.

It’s adjustable. Comfortable. Unisex. And made to move with you.

This award is proof that fitness tools don’t have to be complicated or confined to a gym. In fact, the best gear often meets you where you're at... at home, in the park, or on the trail.

A Win for Our Community, Too

We wouldn’t be here without the thousands of you who’ve embraced weighted movement and made the RUKVEST part of your training toolkit. Your feedback, energy, and support have helped shape this product, and we’re so glad it’s working for you.

What’s Next?

We’re not slowing down. With new designs and even some exciting product drops on the way, RUKSAK will continue to lead where performance and simplicity meet.

For now? We’re celebrating this win and inviting you to keep moving with us.

🏆 Winner, Prevention Health & Fitness Awards, 2025 – Fitness Equipment Category
