KNOXVILLE (WATE) - What do the Cleveland Browns, the Nashville Predators and the U.S. military all have in common? They use fitness equipment made in Knoxville.

Legend Fitness, at 5901 Middlebrook Pike, makes commercial grade equipment that's not just in the best fitness facilities in Tennessee and across the U.S. It's around the world.

Pierre Steenekamp is the president of Legend Fitness and part of the business group that bought out Legend three years ago.

At the time the company was in Maynardville, but this spring it moved to Knoxville after some tremendous growth.

The company has grown from a handful of employees to more than 60 who are often asked to work overtime to keep up with orders. While they help in the design phase, their main focus is manufacturing the strength equipment.

It's all done at one location, from cutting and welding each element to giving each piece a special powder coated finish. After curing in a giant oven-like room, a shiny, durable piece is the result.

"We're a heavy duty commercial product. We're not so much about how pretty it looks. We're more about how functional it is. It's very strong and very sturdy," Steenekamp explained.

However, Legend also offers custom colors, logos, even upholstery. All of that is very important when you look at the client list.

"We shipped products in to the Redskins and the 49'ers. We do a fair amount of equipment for the Tennessee Titans, obviously," Steenekamp said.
