PIVOT is a space-efficient training system that transforms the footprint of a standard bed into a fully functional home gym. It combines a high-quality bed with an integrated power rack, flooring, storage, and accessories, allowing you to train properly at home without sacrificing space or comfort. Rather than adding equipment to a room, PIVOT unlocks the space you already have – delivering a dedicated strength-training environment that disappears back into a bed in under a minute.

Yes, shipping is included in the price but only when one of our packages is included with your order*.

We also include duties and taxes for the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada. For most other countries, duties and taxes are usually covered as well. In rare cases where they exceed a reasonable threshold, we’ll contact you after purchase to discuss any excess before proceeding.

Delivery timing depends on where your order sits within our production cycle:

  • If all components are in stock, we can often dispatch within a few days.
  • If parts need to be made, dispatch can take up to 12 weeks. PIVOT is produced in small batches to exacting standards – we do not mass-produce or hold large inventories.

All headboards are made-to-order in the UK and ship together with the bed.

Typical delivery times after dispatch:

  • UK: next working day
  • Europe & North America: approximately 7–10 days (air freight)
  • Australia, New Zealand & some other regions: ocean freight (longer lead times). Air freight is available at additional cost.

If your address falls outside standard carrier routes, we’ll arrange a custom solution and let you know in advance if any additional cost applies.

* If you order an accessory on its own, e.g. a barbell, shipping will be charged. If you order a PIVOT package and later add an accessory to your order before it has shipped, the accessory will ship with the package and shipping will be included.

Yes, but only for safety during movement.

PIVOT is fully free-standing and self-supporting when upright in bed mode. It cannot tip over, and no exercise forces are transferred into your wall during training.

The fixing is required only during the transition from bed to gym mode. Two small fixings ensure the movement is controlled and predictable. In most cases this involves just two screws into the wall, which can be easily filled if, e.g. you're in a rental property and later move out.

Alternatively, PIVOT can be fixed to the floor instead of the wall. This depends on your floor construction (such as concrete type, screed depth, or underfloor heating). For floor fixing, we recommend consulting a qualified professional before installation.

PIVOT is available in two lengths and five widths, giving broad coverage across international bed sizes.

The available lengths are:

  • 1900 mm (6'3")
  • 2000 mm (6'7")

The available widths are:

  • 1400 mm (4'7")
  • 1500 mm (4'11")
  • 1600 mm (5'3")
  • 1800 mm (5'10.9" (commonly rounded to 5'11"))
  • 1900 mm (6'2.8" (commonly rounded to 6'3"))

Lengths and widths can be freely combined to suit your space.

Full dimensions and room recommendations are provided on the product page to ensure the correct fit.

PIVOT is available exclusively through our website, allowing us to provide a fully guided purchase and installation experience.

Choose your package based on how you prefer to train. Strength and Full Monty are designed for free weights and barbell training, while Anti-Gravity is designed for cable-based resistance. If you want the most complete and popular setup, Full Monty is the best choice. All packages use the same core PIVOT system and can be expanded over time as your training evolves.

No. PIVOT has been in production and shipping globally since 2022.

The system available today is the result of several years of real-world use, customer feedback, and ongoing engineering refinement. While we’ve made improvements to manufacturing and logistics over time, the core design and functionality remain proven and unchanged.

PIVOT is privately owned and independently built, allowing us to focus on long-term product quality, safety, and design integrity rather than rapid mass-market expansion.

Please see this page for mattress advice.

You can use a fitted sheet on the underside of your mattress. This could be black, for example, or any colour you prefer.

No. PIVOT is designed for use in living spaces, and with normal ventilation and basic hygiene, your room will continue to feel and function like a bedroom.

No, PIVOT is engineered to feel solid and quiet as a bed, with tensioned components and isolation points that eliminate movement and prevent noise.

No, PIVOT is designed as a proper bed, providing a solid, flat platform that supports your chosen mattress without compromise.

No, PIVOT uses a purpose-built rack that is engineered to pivot, store, and integrate safely within the system, which standard power racks are not designed to do.

PIVOT is inherently stable when upright, with a weighted base designed to contain all loads within its footprint. Automatic locking mechanisms secure the bed in the vertical position, while the wall or floor fixing provides an additional safety layer during the transition between bed and gym modes.

It takes seconds to lift or lower the bed. Around one minute to fully set up or put away the gym.

The bed itself moves in just a few seconds. For training, the rack and accessories deploy quickly and repeatably, with no tools or reconfiguration required. Bedding stays in place during the transition, and switching between bed and gym modes becomes second nature with daily use.

PIVOT is engineered to meet and exceed recognised international safety standards, with redundant safety systems and extensive real-world testing built into the design.


Safety & testing details

PIVOT is manufactured in the UK and has been independently tested to BS EN ISO 20957-1, the internationally recognised safety standard for stationary training equipment.

The system is designed with layered safety throughout:

  • A stable, self-supporting base that contains all training loads within its footprint
  • Automatic locking mechanisms that secure the bed in the vertical position
  • Redundant latching, where any single latch is sufficient to hold the system safely
  • Gas-assisted movement that ensures controlled, predictable motion during lifting and lowering

All load-bearing components are tested well beyond their stated user ratings, in line with the requirements of the standard. In addition to certification testing, PIVOT undergoes extensive in-house dynamic stress testing using a purpose-built, computer-controlled test rig. This allows us to simulate years of real-world use under repeated high loads whenever a relevant design change is made.

Together, this ensures PIVOT behaves safely not just in theory, but in everyday use – in a home environment.

The maximum rated user weight for PIVOT is 130 kg (286 lb).


Load ratings & testing details

The 130 kg user rating applies to normal training use across the PIVOT system, including bodyweight movements such as pull-ups and dips.

In line with BS EN ISO 20957-1 safety requirements, all load-bearing components are tested to at least 2.5× the rated user weight, ensuring substantial safety margins beyond everyday use. PIVOT also undergoes extensive dynamic endurance testing, simulating years of repeated training under maximum rated loads.

Structural elements such as the integrated power rack are engineered with significantly higher load capacity than the stated user rating, but for clarity and safety we specify a single, conservative maximum user weight that applies to real-world use of the system.

For further detail on certification, redundancy, and testing methodology, see the Safety & Testing section above.

Yes, PIVOT is designed to support TRX and suspension training securely as part of the system.


TRX, bands & accessory compatibility

PIVOT includes a purpose-built mounting point integrated into the bed frame for attaching a TRX safely and securely. This allows suspension training without improvised fixings or reliance on doors, walls, or ceilings.

In addition to TRX, the frame provides multiple robust attachment points suitable for resistance bands and other bodyweight accessories. All attachment locations are designed to work within the structural load paths of the system, ensuring stability and predictability during use.

This flexibility allows PIVOT to support a wide range of training styles – from suspension and band-based work to free weights – without compromising safety or design integrity.

PIVOT is substantial by design, with its weight distributed through a wide base to ensure stability and compatibility with standard residential floors.

Weight & floor considerations

Depending on bed size and configuration, the core PIVOT bed weighs approximately 160 kg (353 lb). The integrated power rack adds around 60 kg (132 lb), and the optional rubber exercise flooring adds approximately 41 kg (90 lb). As a complete system, the Full Monty package typically weighs in the region of 260–270 kg (575–595 lb).

This weight is intentionally spread across the footprint of the base rather than concentrated at a single point. When installed as specified, PIVOT sits well within the load limits of typical modern residential floors, similar to other large items of furniture such as wardrobes or filled bookcases.

Exact weights vary by bed size and configuration. Detailed dimensions, footprints, and room planning guidance are provided in our Room Size Recommendations and Dimensions guides. (see FAQ questions above on Room Size Recommendations and Dimensions).

No special preparation is required – PIVOT is designed to work with standard residential floors when installed as specified.


Floor protection & best practice

PIVOT’s weight is intentionally distributed across a wide base, keeping floor loads well within the limits of typical modern homes. No structural reinforcement or permanent floor modification is needed.

As with any strength training setup, we recommend using a dense, rubber-based mat beneath the training area to protect your floor surface during exercise, particularly when using free weights. This is best practice rather than a requirement.

For this purpose, high-quality rubber flooring is preferred over lightweight foam mats, which are not designed for heavy equipment or repeated impact. Material quality also matters for indoor use, which is why PIVOT’s optional flooring is manufactured from low-odour, natural rubber suitable for living spaces.

Detailed room planning, footprints, and clearance guidance can be found in our Room Size Recommendations and Dimensions guides.

PIVOT is designed for adult use. Teenagers may train under responsible adult supervision, while lifting and lowering the bed should always be carried out by an adult.

We ship PIVOT worldwide, with delivery arranged directly to your address in most countries.

Please refer to this page for details.

PIVOT Bed has numerous attachment points compatible with resistance bands and TRX suspension trainers.

The PIVOT Power Rack is also compatible with most accessories that use the metric measurement system of 75x75mm uprights with 16.5mm holes, which is an industry standard. However, those using imperial inches should note that accessories with 3x3" uprights or 5/8" pins may fit but could be slightly loose. The only exception is when an accessory has two pins/holes, such as a spotter arm, which may not align correctly with the holes on the uprights due to different hole spacing.
