About TKO

TKO Strength and Performance was founded in 1996 by Garry Kurtz in Houston, Texas. The name TKO stands for Technical KnockOut, a nod to the brand's origins as a boxing equipment company. Over the following decade TKO methodically expanded into every major category of commercial fitness equipment, adding free weights in 2001, racks and storage systems in 2002, group fitness products in 2003, commercial utility benches in 2006, and a full commercial strength equipment lineup in 2009. That deliberate, category-by-category growth strategy resulted in a brand that can outfit an entire commercial facility under one roof, from the weight floor to the group fitness studio.

TKO operates under the "Whatever It Takes" philosophy, designing products that prioritize durability, biomechanics, and real-world performance for professional environments. Their equipment is used in health clubs, college and high school athletic facilities, military installations, government institutions, and serious home gyms worldwide. Browse the full in-stock TKO lineup at The Fitness Outlet including urethane hex and signature dumbbell sets, Olympic barbell sets and straight bar sets with racks, the Achieve Dual selectorized machine series covering leg press, bicep and tricep, ab and low back, leg extension and curl, inner and outer thigh, pec dec and rear delt, lat pulldown and mid row, and multi-press, benches including flat, incline, decline, preacher curl, abdominal crunch, sit-up, hyperextension, and signature utility benches, a full range of storage solutions including dumbbell racks, kettlebell racks, barbell racks, plate trees, medicine ball racks, mat racks, and power bag racks, the VKR Power Tower, squat press, and leg and calf press. Compared to Body-Solid, another strength brand we carry, TKO tends to focus more heavily on commercial-grade selectorized dual-function machines and organized storage systems designed for high-traffic facility environments.

Built for Commercial Facilities, TKO Has You Covered

TKO is built primarily for commercial environments including health clubs, athletic training facilities, college and high school fitness centers, military installations, and corporate wellness facilities. Their Achieve Dual series of selectorized machines is particularly well suited to facilities that need space-efficient dual-function equipment that allows multiple muscle groups to be trained from a single unit. Their storage system lineup is one of the most comprehensive available, covering virtually every type of free weight and accessory storage need a facility might have. For home gym users, TKO's urethane dumbbell sets, benches, and storage racks bring the same commercial-grade build quality and professional aesthetics to a residential setting at price points that make sense for individual buyers.
