Its Time to Upgrde
OUR HISTORY
The TK STAR story, in many respects, is a direct reflection of growing up on the east coast and only dreaming of what goes on the west coast and yawing to know if this culture really exist. Did Dave Draper actually have that small waist and tapered back with solid muscle? The evolution in the bodybuilding industry, a tumultuous yet rewarding era of unprecedented social, cultural and technological change. An era that has seen a scientific and environmental renaissance, an awakening in the appreciation of handcrafted quality and unimaginable adoption of our sport.
In 1972 then setting up shop in 1977 with being connected to legendary Joe Gold, committed bodybuilders and lifters having the time spent eating with, training with and most of all observing everything only to go back to my shop to create the movements and most of all the angles these people were striving for as the chiseled their body and or build super strength with tools that someone somewhere had to make. Over the years the fundamental beliefs, values and singularity of purpose behind TK STAR were challenged but never abandoned. To this day, this purpose has kept Tom Kinney creating the unrivaled TK STAR equipment.
‘The relentless pursuit of innovation, superior quality and uncompromising performance in creation of the world’s finest gym equipment .’
