169. Max Kislevitz, Co-founder of Bala

Today, I'm joined by Max Kislevitz, co-founder of Bala, maker of design-focused functional fitness accessories.

Founded in 2018, Max and his wife Natalie took on Bala as a side project with the goal of making ankle and arm weights more practical and attractive. Their creation: weighted accessories called Bangles. After appearing on Shark Tank and hosting successful retail pop-ups, Bala has become a rapidly growing business, selling a variety of at-home fitness accessories and launching a digital fitness platform, Balacize.

In this episode, we discuss the company's design-forward approach to fitness equipment, and Max shares the company's vision to "Balaify" fitness for all ages and ability levels.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How Bala started as a side project and turned into a booming business
• The role Shark Tank played in its exponential growth
• Bala's plan to double their product line in the coming year
