VANCOUVER, BC and RAFFLES
CITY CONVENTION CENTRE, Singapore,
May 18, 2021 /CNW/ - AAJ Capital 2
Corp. (TSXV: AAJC.P) ("AAJ") today announced that the United
States Patent Office (USPTO) has granted TUT Fitness Group Limited
("TUT Fitness Group") four patents related to its
application of resistance band technology to home gym
equipment.
TUT Fitness Group's patent grants cover an industry-first,
stackable resistance band technology (called TUT Plates™) which
allow the user to increase or decrease resistance loads in
calibrated increments of 2, 5,10, 20, and 40 lbs up to 150 lbs of
total resistance. The color-coded resistance bands feature sleek
design and have been laboratory-tested to at least 12,000 cycles
without any performance loss. A starter set of TUT Plates™ weighs a
total of only 32 ounces (2 lbs; 907 g) yet provides 150 lbs of
total resistance force.
"This is a game-changing technology for the home fitness sector,
as our patented TUT Plates™ can replace bulky and expensive heavy
metal weights, allowing gym equipment designs to become smaller,
more home-friendly and portable, and also reducing shipping costs
and installation complexity," said Aaron
Fader, Chief Product Officer for TUT Fitness Group.
"We've taken Time Under Tension ("TUT"), the ability to create a
constant tension (load) and strain to your muscles during a rep,
and made it portable for the home gym market."
TUT Fitness Group currently incorporates its TUT Plate™
resistance bands as the core element in both its TUT Trainer™ Tower
and TUT Rower™ gym equipment, which are being marketed and sold
into the $9.5 billion market for home
gym equipment. TUT Fitness Group is showcasing its technology and
OEM licensing opportunities this week at the FIT Summit in
Singapore.
"TUT is creating a new category of fit. We are hyper-focused on
maximizing the performance that users can get out of their home
gyms in an affordable and functional way, and on growing our patent
portfolio of stackable resistance band technology," said
Rob Smith, Chief Executive
Officer for TUT Fitness Group. "In our conversations with
other fitness equipment manufacturers, we know there is
tremendous interest in incorporating our small, light-weight
stackable resistance bands. By bringing our affordable and
accessible technology into the home gym market we believe we can
positively impact people's lives."
