Kiara and Kate LeBlanc recently saw themselves highlighted as “Ones to Watch” in our January/February 2024 issue, but their style-focused exercise equipment brand Lifted Movement is getting another rep in fast. The minimalist white oak Movement cart can store eight pairs of free weights, three kettlebells, a mat and accessories and takes up less than three square feet of precious floor space—it’s the kind of beauty-meets-functionality combo that gets our heart rates up.

Are we surprised? Not really: the LeBlancs are the Vancouver family that brought us Saje (they founded the essential oil company in 1992) and their first step into the fitness and furniture design world is proving just as impactful as their other wellness-related endeavours.
