The STIL-FIT manufactory in Munich
Munich manufactory · Since 2009

Our manufactory in Munich.
Where fitness equipment is made to last.

Handcrafted. Family-run. Made in Germany.

“Fitness equipment deserves the same attention to design, materials and craftsmanship as furniture or architecture.”

— Anton Maria Rief, founder & industrial designer

One idea.
Two generations.

STIL-FIT was founded in 2009 by industrial designer Anton Maria Rief. After many years of product development for renowned brands, he was convinced that fitness equipment deserves the same attention to design, materials and craftsmanship as furniture or architecture.

Out of this conviction, he developed the first STIL-FIT ergometer — one of the first pieces of fitness equipment deliberately designed to fit into modern living spaces.

In 2015, his son Basil Lazarowicz joined the company. While Anton continued to focus on product development, design and innovation, Basil took responsibility for sales, marketing and strategic development. Together they grew STIL-FIT from a small founding idea into a premium brand sold internationally.

Craftsmanship you have to see.

Form
follows
Function.

Louis Sullivan, 1896 · Our compass since 2009

Beauty that does not function is decoration. Function that is not beautiful is mere equipment. STIL-FIT builds neither.

Every curve, every proportion, every choice of material follows a functional logic first — and is then refined until it is aesthetically right as well. Not the other way round.

That means: sturdy constructions that make no compromises on durability. Ergonomic geometries designed around the real movement patterns of the human body. And surfaces that still feel the same after years of use as on the first day.

Stability
Built for daily use over decades — not for the showroom.
Ergonomics
Every adjustment, every grip follows the anatomy of the user.
Functionality
No feature without a reason. No detail that does not play its part.
Aesthetics
The result of consistently fulfilling a function — not a cover laid over it.

How a STIL-FIT machine is made

No assembly line. No automated mass production. Every machine is hand-assembled by our team in Munich and individually inspected before it leaves the workshop.

Design and development at STIL-FIT
01

Design & development

Every product starts as a sketch. Anton Rief refines form, proportions and materials until every detail is right — not just visually, but in the mechanics, the feel and the sound.

Hand-assembled

In our manufactory near Munich Ostbahnhof, every machine is assembled by hand. Our team knows every screw, every joint — and knows what matters.

Inspection & shipping

No machine leaves Munich without being fully tested. Every function, every setting, every surface is checked. What we ship, we stand behind with our name.

What you can rely on

Four convictions we do not negotiate.

Passion

We develop products that have to convince us first — before we offer them to others. No compromise that was not made deliberately and for a reason.

Quality

Quality is invisible until it is missing. That is why we invest in materials, manufacturing tolerances and inspection processes you cannot see — but can feel.

Value

A STIL-FIT machine is not an expense — it is a decision. For something that works just as well and looks just as good in ten years as on the first day.

Stability

Built for daily use over many years — not for the showroom. We do not build disposable products, but machines that work reliably even after intensive use.

Questions?
We answer personally.

Behind every enquiry is a person with a specific room and a specific goal. We take that seriously — and it is us who get back to you, not a call center.
