Wearable Cable Resistance.

Engineered for Movement.

Resista delivers body-anchored cable resistance that moves with you — no machines required.

Built for athletes, trainers, and high performers who demand freedom with precision.

The Resista Vision

Traditional resistance systems anchor you to the machine.
Resista anchors the resistance to you.

We are re-engineering cable-style resistance into a portable, body-worn solution. This approach aims to unlock functional, full-range training with real mechanical load during sport-specific drills, travel, dance and daily movement — without compromising precision or safety.

This is resistance training reimagined for freedom and performance.

ABOUT

Hey, I'm Monique.

Resista was founded by Monique Hickman — a 20-year professional dancer with credits including Disney, Nike, the NBA, and the NFL, and a BFA from Northern Illinois University.

My career has centered on resistance, load, and full range of motion. I repeatedly saw the need for a tool like this and decided to build it.

Beyond performance, I’ve led data and program management roles at Stash and Amazon, and community health programming in Chicago. I am currently completing my NASM Personal Trainer and AFAA Group Fitness Instructor certifications.

This is personal. This is professional. This is long overdue.
