Wellness, thoughtfully designed.

Our Approach

Black & Bould is a luxury home gym and wellness design studio built on a simple belief: the spaces around us shape how we move, recover, focus, and care for ourselves and others.

We design private residential wellness spaces around the people who use them, the way they live, and how they need the space to function.

Every decision has a purpose, from the layout and equipment to the lighting, storage, materials, and functionality. The space should feel beautiful, work intelligently, and allow wellness to seamlessly integrate into everyday life.

Founder

Black & Bould was founded by Lea McDuffie, a Luxury Home Gym Designer, certified personal trainer, and nutrition coach with more than a decade of experience in brand strategy and experiential marketing.

Before launching Black & Bould, Lea led national marketing initiatives and large-scale brand experiences across the wellness, consumer goods, and hospitality industries. She managed multimillion-dollar budgets, built programs that reached millions of people, and learned how to make every detail earn its place.

Alongside that work, Lea trained and coached clients in their homes, where she saw how deeply a space can shape someone’s mindset. An overcrowded, disorganized, poorly lit gym can make a workout feel exhausting before it even begins. A space that supports what someone needs to do makes the effort feel worthwhile and the room easier to return to. It allows them to move fully, breathe deeply, and recover in calm rather than chaos.

That understanding became the foundation of Black & Bould. Lea recognized that thoughtful design could do more than improve how a room looked or functioned. It could influence how someone felt before, during, and after caring for themselves.

Today, Lea brings together performance-focused knowledge, strategic thinking, and a sharp design eye to create home gyms and wellness spaces that support both body and mindset. Spaces where clients can exert themselves fully, recover peacefully, and feel that their wellness is worth making room for.
