For WellnessLiving\u2019s Co-Founder and CEO Len Fridman, connecting with our international customers on his CEO Tours has been a wonderful \u2018exercise\u2019 in reconnecting<\/em>. Len has always felt it was integral to visit our valued customers in person to highlight each business in detail and to further understand how they are leveraging our software. Due to COVID-19 protocols, we\u2019ve had to switch our tours to online interviews. Len is still doing what he loves, but he\u2019s just doing it virtually<\/em>!<\/p>\n

On this leg of the tour, Len barely has to venture beyond his own backyard as he meets Debbie Kemp, owner of Gravitate Studio<\/a> in his hometown of Toronto, Ontario. Discover the ecosystem of Gravity fitness, the versatility of the Gravity machine, and how FitVID on Demand\u2019s video library has helped sustain Debbie\u2019s business during Ontario\u2019s COVID-19 lockdowns.<\/p>\n

Gravitate Studio is a full-service fitness studio with group classes and training, offering in-person, virtual, and on-demand classes. They are known for their Gravity Training and are the only Gravity Training Systems studio in Toronto, Ontario.<\/p>\n

What is Gravity Training System (GTS)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Gravitate
As part of WellnessLiving’s CEO Tour, Len Fridman virtually visited Gravitate Studio in Toronto, Ontario. Above is an example of the Gravity machines they use in studio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gravity training is a full-body workout that uses a person\u2019s own body weight as resistance to strengthen, tone, and sculpt. The Gravity machine (a.k.a. the Total Gym Machine<\/a>) consists of a moving platform (which you can kneel on or lie on face-up, sideways, or face down<\/em>) placed between a foot plate and a vertical tower.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such an amazing and versatile machine,\u201d says Debbie, who started teaching Gravity classes 10 years ago, before deciding to start her own studio. \u201cIt\u2019s your own body weight against gravity. <\/em>The height of the tower depends on the workout or exercise you’re going to do. The machine has 22 levels of intensity, so that\u2019s a lot to choose from. Twenty-two is quite difficult, whereas one is super easy, so we have a wide range to work with!\u201d<\/p>\n

Gravitate Studio sessions include:<\/h3>\n

GRAVITY<\/h3>\n

Engage all major muscle groups and experience a multitude of strength training, core, and stretching exercises to improve functional fitness, strength, and flexibility. The unique design of the GTS makes this class suitable for all ages, fitness, and experience levels.<\/p>\n

GENTLE GRAVITY<\/h3>\n

Gentle Gravity is ideal for beginners, seniors, pregnant individuals, or those like to take things a little slower and gentler. No Gravity experience is required. The pace of the session is a little slower, and there is a longer focus on flexibility at the end.<\/p>\n

GRAVITY & TRX<\/h3>\n

This session combines both the Gravity machine and the TRX Suspension Strap in a full-body circuit that will work every muscle in your body.<\/p>\n

Gravity Studio also offers additional classes, such as :<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Yoga<\/li>\n
  • Mat Pilates<\/li>\n
  • Barre<\/li>\n
  • TRX Suspension Strap<\/li>\n
