Hi, I’m George Yang — founder of YR Fitness and a hands-on fitness equipment designer with over 30 years of industry experience.
My journey began in 1991, fixing gym machines for China’s National Athletes Team. That early exposure led me to create YR Fitness, where I personally led the development of multiple product lines, including our well-known 71 and 73 Series. Over the years, I’ve earned more than 300 design patents, all rooted in real user feedback and biomechanics.
To me, designing fitness machines isn’t just about how they look — it’s about how they perform, how they protect the body, and how they elevate training results.
On every blog, I’ll be sharing insights on professional equipment design, innovation in strength and rehab machines, and stories from working with Olympic coaches, national teams, gym chains, and even military clients.
If you’re a gym owner, coach, distributor, or just someone passionate about fitness technology, I hope my experiences will give you practical takeaways and new perspectives.
Let’s explore the secrets behind truly effective equipment — together.
