VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 28, 2021 /CNW/ - TUT Fitness Group Inc.
(TSXV: GYM) ("TUT") announced today that it has appointed
fitness industry sales veteran, Stefan
Sillner, to the position of VP of International Sales and
Distribution and has promoted Mark
Addison to Director of Strategic Sales and Partnerships.
TUT Fitness Group CEO, Rob Smith,
commented, "I am very excited about these additions to our team as
we expand our sales and distribution reach into strategic verticals
within consumer fit-tech, health, and wellness. Mark is someone
I've known personally for more than 20 years, and he is a maverick
when it comes to positioning and evangelizing new consumer
technologies and Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) brands globally. Stefan
brings two decades of international sales and distribution
experience in the fitness equipment and now connected fitness space
-- having helped launch several leading brands such as CLMBR and
having created distribution partnerships into 65 countries
worldwide."
"TUT Fitness Group has developed a unique product in a sector
that is crowded with look-alikes, and I am excited about the sales
potential," said Mark Addison. "The
sleek design reduces our manufacturing costs, and our patented TUT
Plates™ replace 200 pounds of iron weights with just 32 ounces
of resistance bands, which is a game-changer for apartment dwellers
and those who can't dedicate an entire room to a home gym. It also
radically lowers our shipping costs. As we expand sales, I will be
focusing especially on affiliate sales channels and licensing
opportunities."
In his new role heading up the international sales team, Stefan
will report directly to TUT Fitness Group CEO Rob Smith with responsibility for
Australasia, Europe and
North America.
Stefan Sillner commented, "I
really like what TUT is doing to bring more value and performance
to the home gym market. The TUT Trainer micro gym is a game changer
in terms of its portability, compact size and the power it
generates to make functional strength and cardio training both fun
and demanding."
LICENSING, SALES & DISTRIBUTION:
TUT Fitness
products feature internationally patented, stackable TUT Plates™
resistance bands as the core element in both its TUT Trainer™ Tower
and TUT Rower™, which are being marketed and sold into the
$10.7 billion market for home gym
equipment. TUT Fitness Group is further revolutionizing the home
gym market by licensing its stackable resistance band technology to
other equipment manufacturers.

licensing should contact Mark
Addison, Director of Strategic Sales & Partnerships,
