Our Story

About Us

From a Melbourne garage to Curve Fitness

This is not the about a polished business plan or a carefully constructed brand story.

All this began with one man's ambition, one woman's trust and another woman's survival.

In 2020, Rupesh Shah started importing and selling fitness equipment. His wife Dhara believed in what he had statrted and supported him through those early years. That was the beginning of an idea, which would soon turn into what we today call Curve Fitness.

When Our Paths Crossed

For Ajpa, Curve Fitness is not only about selling gym equipment. It is also connected to her own journey with mental health, physical challenges, motherhood, identity and learning how strength training can change the way a person feels in their own body.

Like many women, she did not grow up seeing strength training as something that was naturally encouraged, explained or made accessible. Fitness for women was often spoken about in terms of weight loss, appearance or short-term motivation, rather than confidence, independence, resilience and long-term wellbeing.

Coming from a different background and lived experiences, Ajpa understands that many women are raised to put everyone else first, often leaving their own health, strength and confidence at the bottom of the list. Her hope is to help change that conversation for any woman who has ever felt unsure, intimidated or disconnected from strength training.

Her own journey has taught her that strength is not just about lifting heavier weights. It is about rebuilding trust in yourself, showing up slowly, learning what your body can do, and becoming stronger in ways that are not always visible.

That is why Ajpa is passionate about speaking openly and sharing practical, lived-experience guidance to women who feel unsure where to begin. Her aim is not to give medical advice or promise a quick transformation. It is to help more women feel less intimidated by strength training and more confident taking the first step.

What Makes Curve Different

As women in an industry still heavily dominated by men, Ajpa saw a clear gap. Buying gym equipment often meant choosing between low-cost products that did not feel built to last, or premium equipment that was priced out of reach for many everyday Australians.

Curve Fitness was built to change that.

Whether you are a first-time lifter setting up a spare bedroom, a family building a garage gym, a serious athlete upgrading your training space, or a PT kitting out a studio, you deserve equipment that feels strong, reliable and fit for purpose, delivered to your doorstep for free.

We focus on durable, carefully selected strength equipment backed by practical support and clear warranty information. Selected products include extended or lifetime replacement warranty support, as set out in our Warranty Policy.

What We Stand For

Every product in the Curve range is chosen with real use in mind. We look for equipment that balances durability, function, value and everyday practicality. We work with manufacturers whose products meet the specifications, durability expectations and quality checks we require before adding them to the Curve range.

Ajpa also uses this equipment herself everyday. If she would not train on it, she would not sell it.

Curve Fitness is not a faceless online operation. When you call us on 1300 252 643, you speak to Ajpa directly, who actually knows and uses the products. When you need help setting up your space, you get honest advice and practical guidance from her.

At Curve, we focus on:

  • commercial-grade and home gym equipment selected for durability and value
  • practical options for real homes, garages, studios and training spaces
  • clear product guidance before you buy
  • helpful support from people who know the range
  • long-term trust, not quick sales

Proudly Australian. Proudly women-owned.

Founded by Ajpa Wali, Curve Fitness is a proudly Australian, women-owned and women-led health equipment brand.

That is not just a label. It shapes how we run the business every day. It means caring about the customer experience, making equipment easier to understand, and building a brand Australians can trust for years to come.

We are not here for quick sales. We are here to raise the bar and make strength training more practical, more accessible and easier to build into real life.

Supporting Udaan

Curve Fitness also proudly sponsors Udaan, a volunteer-led community initiative created to give artists and performers a platform to be seen, celebrated and supported.

For Ajpa, this community work connects deeply with the values behind Curve Fitness: confidence, opportunity, self-expression and helping people become stronger in more ways than one.
