FOUNDER’S STORY
TOLGA BEYCUR
BodyPound was founded on the vision and leadership of Tolga Beycur, whose lifelong commitment to sports has shaped the brand’s purpose and direction.
A graduate of Marmara University’s School of Physical Education and Sports, Department of Basketball Coaching, Beycur built a strong athletic foundation through years of active participation in competitive sports.In 2003, he began his professional coaching career at DarüÅŸÅŸafaka, one of Türkiye’s most respected basketball clubs. There, he took on a leadership role in developing young athletes, guiding them with discipline, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of performance.
His experience across multiple youth development programs strengthened his expertise in human anatomy, correct movement mechanics, and the critical role of high-quality equipment in achieving long-term success.
Driven by a desire to elevate training standards, Beycur expanded his vision beyond traditional sports and founded the Firstep Pilates Studio in 2010. This entrepreneurial step allowed him to explore diverse training methodologies while identifying a clear market gap: the need for durable, functional, and professional-grade equipment.In 2013, he led the transition into equipment manufacturing with the production of Pilates Reformers, combining his coaching experience with engineering-driven design.
By 2018, he repositioned the brand as BodyPound, transforming his local initiative into a globally oriented manufacturing brand.Today, under his leadership, BodyPound stands as a trusted partner for sports clubs, physiotherapists, clinics, and boutique studios worldwide—delivering equipment that reflects strength, precision, and performance excellence.
