About Us

LEVER was founded out of Boulder, Colorado in 2019. Like many ideas, it was a trail run shared by our founders, Ryan and Brad, that sparked the inspiration of the LEVER device. At the time, a lot of the top elite athletes in the Boulder area were getting injured. These athletes, although Olympic medalists and regarded as the top in their sport, could not get consistent access to a body weight support device in the community. Body Weight Support was proven by research to be beneficial in the rehab and recovery from injuries, but the options on the market were inaccessible even in an endurance city like Boulder.

LEVER was born to bring the incredible functionality of unloaded training to the endurance community at an affordable price point. Although clearly beneficial for recovering from running related injuries such as plantar fasciitis, ITBS, achilles tendinopathy, knee pain, shin splints and stress fractures, etc., we're witnessing first hand how unloaded training is helping athletes push their perception of what's possible through the performance enhancement components of the technology. Through consistent healthy training, increased run volume, and overspeed sessions, athletes are strategically using LEVER to help them run faster on race day.

If you have a treadmill at home, or access to one at the gym, experience an unloaded run with LEVER for yourself. Our patented system is awakening the endurance community to the fact that you do not have to run with pain or be stuck in an injury cycle. Break free from that cycle and start building towards your next breakout race today!
