On May 21, at the 2026 China International Sports Goods Expo, the VANBO exhibition area was bustling with visitors. A high-end wooden dumbbell attracted numerous customers to stop and take notice—this marked the first public debut of VANBO’s newly launched “ENTHEON Series.” The dumbbell seamlessly combines walnut wood with steel. Within just a few days of the exhibition, the ENTHEON Series secured nearly a hundred potential clients, making it one of the standout products in the strength training equipment category at this year’s event.
Homage Series: Defining the Aesthetic of Light Luxury
The ENTHEON series is defined by its core concept of “commercial-grade quality, light luxury design, and artisan craftsmanship,” innovatively integrating wood and steel into a unified whole. The walnut wood used is sourced from native forests in North America, featuring warm grain patterns that grow richer and deeper over time. Q235 steel, the foundational material for VANBO’s dumbbells, forms the structural backbone. Though seemingly unrelated, these two materials achieve a subtle balance within the ENTHEON collection—wood tempers the cold rigidity of steel. This is not mere juxtaposition, but a symbiotic relationship where material characteristics complement each other: the warmth of wood softens the harshness of metal, while the strength of steel enhances the presence of wood. Every joint transition and every curved connection narrates the harmonious fusion of nature’s gifts and industrial innovation.
The ENTHEON series includes six products: dumbbells, weight plates, barbells, dumbbell racks, and a multifunctional foldable fitness bench.
ENTHEON Classic Weight Dumbbells: The main body is made of Q235 steel, with walnut wood end caps. The rich brown wood exudes stability and elegance, while the cool silver steel adds a sleek contrast—colors blend naturally, revealing refined taste in understated simplicity and craftsmanship hidden within minimalism. Handles feature an electroplated knurled finish for comfortable grip. Available in sizes ranging from 1-10kg, 2-20lb, 2.5-50kg, and 5-100lb, meeting the needs of commercial gyms, studios, and more.
ENTHEON Premium Wood Dumbbells: The core of the ball head is made of Q235 steel, while the cover plate is wrapped in high-quality silicone leather. On the sides, walnut wood interweaves with steel for a refined texture. The soft, smooth leather cover offers a touch that closely resembles human skin, adding warmth and comfort to the dumbbell. The entire handle is encased in walnut wood, providing a non-slip, sweat-absorbing surface that prevents hand irritation during prolonged use. With every grip, your palm feels not cold metal, but the natural warmth conveyed through the wood. This pursuit of ultimate tactile experience—blending the coolness of steel with the softness of leather—embodies the restrained elegance of the ENTHEON series. Available in weights from 1kg to 10kg, these dumbbells meet the needs of both home fitness and light commercial use.
ENTHEON Wooden Bell Plates: The center of the bell plate is made of stainless steel, surrounded by a walnut wood ring. This design maintains precise weight distribution while preserving the series’ wooden aesthetic, significantly enhancing the grip and feel when holding the plates. The standard hole size is compatible with mainstream market oboe rods.
ENTHEON X – Storage fitness Bench: The seat features high-density foam and PU leather, with a backrest adjustable in 5 different angles and the bench itself offering 4 height adjustments. Constructed with an internal steel frame and an external wooden frame for durability and aesthetic appeal, the base includes a cleverly designed storage compartment to neatly store dumbbells, kettlebells, and other small fitness equipment. This dual-purpose bench not only saves space but also enhances practicality.
ENTHEON Vertical Dumbbell Rack: Crafted from a walnut wood and stainless steel composite structure, this rack neatly stores dumbbells ranging from 1kg to 10kg. Available in three configurations—three pairs, five pairs, or ten pairs—the interplay of wood grain and metal lines transforms the rack into a stylish piece of furniture within your fitness space.
In the evolution of fitness equipment, traditional gym machines have often been associated with an “industrial” or “cold and rigid” aesthetic. However, today’s fitness environments—whether at home, in boutique studios, or high-end hotel wellness centers—demand more refined, softer, and higher-quality products. The vision behind the ENTHEON series is to transform fitness equipment from mere “iron lumps” in a space into objects that blend seamlessly with their surroundings and even elevate the overall ambiance. This concept was clearly validated at the exhibition, where numerous buyers from premium fitness studios, luxury hotels, and corporate clients showed strong interest in the ENTHEON line. “We’ve been searching for equipment that’s both professional and stylish—something suitable for personal training zones as well as VIP lounges, something that doesn’t clash but actually enhances the environment. VANBO has delivered exactly that,” said one French buyer, expressing immediate interest in collaboration.
Positioned as a high-value-added product line, ENTHEON targets not only home users but any setting where customers are willing to invest in “spatial compatibility” and “material quality”—from private study rooms to upscale commercial spaces.
At the 2026 Sports Expo, VANBO demonstrated its dual breakthroughs in product innovation and design language. As fitness equipment increasingly becomes part of home aesthetics, VANBO has taken the lead in delivering a solution that brings warmth and humanity to strength training.
