Introducing Gorilla Gym; Transforms Any Doorway Into a Gym, Yoga Studio and Playground
Boston, MA (PRWEB) October 08, 2013 -- Velex corporation today announced the release of Gorilla Gym®, the world’s smallest and most versatile home gym. Launched by two Boston entrepreneurs with a mission to make it easy for everyone to exercise for at least 11 minutes every day, Gorilla Gym offers a low-cost, always-ready alternative to the gym that allows you to run, box, kick, swing, weight train, enjoy yoga, keep fit – and most of all – enjoy doing it in your own home! The company claims that only 11 minutes per day of cardio and strength training through Gorilla Gym is enough to sculpt all 11 muscle groups that create a great body.
Strong Enough to Support a Swinging Motorcycle and Driver:
Not satisfied with just getting the ASTM International safety certification for up to 300 lbs, one of the founders demonstrated the strength and security of Gorilla Gym by swinging on a motorcycle suspended form it. Yet, Gorilla Gym attaches to door frames in seconds without bolts or drilling. The cantilevered design transfers the force to the walls around the doorway, while patented Vise-Grips conquer motion and expand the range of possible exercises and activities. This is not your grandfather’s limited use pull-up bar!
Accessible & Affordable:
Priced at $59.95 for the core unit, Gorilla Gym provides a compact and scalable alternative to expensive fitness equipment and outdoor children’s playgrounds.
Multiple Fitness Attachments, Boxing & Martial Arts, Yoga Swing and Even an Entire Indoor Children’s Playground:
The device’s modular design offers nearly limitless possibilities for adding new attachments to suit everyone’s needs and tastes. Attachments available today include AirStraps (a novel full-body suspension system that allows you to exercise in the air), pull-up bar, ab straps, boxing heavy- and speed-bags, yoga swing, children’s swings and even an entire children’s playground.
Eleven Minutes Per Day is All You Need:
When using the AirStraps to exercise in the air, you constantly balance and re-balance your body, engaging multiple muscles at once, which intensifies the workout and delivers results faster. You burn fat and work your entire body with no impact to your joints. The Fitness Package comes with a DVD with 9 high-intensity 11-minute workouts that can be easily tailored for any fitness level – from beginners to athletes. The company cites multiple studies, including their own, as the scientific basis for their workout system and claims that their 11-min cardio and strength workout is equivalent to a 45-min workout in the gym.
Successful Crowd-funding Campaign:
The initial manufacturing run of Gorilla Gym was successfully crowd-funded on Indiegogo in yet another example of the new possibilities available for entrepreneurs today. The founders believe that the crowd-funding campaign not only raised the funds they needed for manufacturing, but also gave them invaluable feedback and market information from their early customers.
Upcoming commercial aired on national TV: Soon, customers will be also be able to see Gorilla Gym on their TV in the soon-to-begin national TV advertising campaign.
Founder Quotes:
"My co-founder and I designed Gorilla Gym for busy people like us, who don’t have enough time to go to the gym," said Kiril Stefan Alexandrov, co-founder. "As Woody Allen said, 95% of success is simply showing up, so we wanted a device that would be compact and nearby so we use it more often."
"Because we live in Boston where the winters are long, we wanted to come up with a device with so many fun attachments that our families would never get bored," said Peter Velikin, co-founder. "We set out to create an indoor product that is accessible and fun to use by the entire family, from busy people who are trying to lose weight or stay in shape, to young children who love swinging and climbing, to adults who are into Yoga or Pilates or those who look for serious workouts like a martial arts."
