Innovativeness took business abroad Our story began by two sport professionals, Risto Kasurinen and Miika Vesalainen, and their interest in fitness. They developed the “Gymstick Original”, a fibreglass stick with two rubber tubings with foot straps at each end. It became a huge success, so the idea extended to a group fitness concept, that is well-known in many countries globally. Before that the company concentrated on coaching, instructing, fitness testing and organizing events, but the strong expertise in the sport field created a solid ground for an innovative fitness equipment manufacturing. The first innovation, Gymstick Original, was created in 2003. The fitness tool gained a lot of popularity due to its versatile, simple and efficient exercise possibilities. The investments in product development, especially in the first few years, brought other new innovations to the market. The Gymstick product family consists of Gymstick HIT, Gymstick Aqua, Fitnessbag, Powerslider, Powerwheelz, Chair Gym and Crankbike X4. The Gymstick product range of fitness and sports equipment and accessories includes over 400 products. The group fitness concepts and training videos and programs meet the needs of different target groups and bring versatility to training. The domestic success has helped us to grow and extend our business abroad. The group fitness concepts interest a large number of fitness centers and we have partners in several countries. Gymstick Muscle classes have been held in South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Russia, Switzerland, England and Brazil. The brand recognition has grown year by year, significantly boosting the sales. According to our aim, we have evolved to an all-around fitness equipment professional during the years. Gymstick Liikuntapalvelut improving well-being at work To guarantee the best possible service to our customers, we still offer fitness and workplace well-being services. In 2007 this service section was separated from Gymstick International and it became a separate company called Gymstick Liikuntapalvelut. The company is a provider of well-being and fitness services to companies and organizations. The office is located in Helsinki. The main goal of Gymstick Liikuntapalvelut is to help companies to improve employee productivity and work ability by promoting overall health and well-being of the employees. The idea is to support people in all life situations to achieve long-term personal goals and healthier lifestyle. By investing in well-being at work services the competitiveness and the reputation of the company improve at the same time as the personnel feels better. In practice that is accomplished by providing group fitness classes, break exercise, coaching and training programs, work well-being projects, campaigns, fitness testing, health surveys, recreational activities, lectures, workshops, courses and other professional services. In addition, Gymstick Liikuntapalvelut provides education and workshops for professionals to deepen their knowledge and know-how regarding special themes in the field of sport and health. It also arranges training on group fitness concepts (Gymstick Muscle, HIT, FitnessBag, Power Slider, MAX) and on how to use Gymstick fitness equipment. Treenikauppa – getting closer to customer The newest part of Gymstick International is an online store, ”Treenikauppa”, that was opened in 2016. It is the biggest Finnish online-based store in fitness equipment and accessories. Our aim was to get closer to the users of our products and to be able to listen, teach and offer them versatile training supportive tools.
