SYDNEY, NSW, AUSTRALIA, October 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Evolve Grips is excited to announce that it has been recognised with a prestigious Australian Good Design Award in the Sport and Lifestyle Product Design category for their ergonomic gym grips.

The Australian Good Design Awards is one of

the world’s longest-running international design award programs, and has announced this year’s winners as part of the Official Good Design Awards Week. This year’s theme, “Design for Better”, underscores the vital role design plays, and the Awards showcase how design has the power to drive positive change for people, planet, and prosperity.

Evolve Grips Wins Australian Good Design Award
In partnership with SOS Product Design, Evolve Grips has revolutionised the fitness industry, challenging the traditional cylindrical design of fitness equipment. Their ergonomic gym grips provide all the benefits of conventional thick grip training, such as increased muscle activation and grip strength; however the patented design also moulds to users’ hands to improve form and prevent wrist strain and injuries while lifting weights.

Jurors from the Australian Good Design Awards judging panel have recognised the unique shape and innovative design of Evolve Grips, providing the following statements in their jury comments:

“Evolve Grips are the next generation of thick grips for resistance training.”

“Innovative design highlighting issues with current gym grips.”

“For a relatively simple product, it has had significant research from an ergonomic standpoint, which translates into a product that was primarily designed with a function-first mindset.”

“A brilliant showcase of innovation and impact.”
