In order to achieve something unique, you have to create an experience that is different from your competitors.

MIAMI (PRWEB)
August 11, 2021

Satisfying a unique opportunity in the athletic performance wear industry, ALPHA Territory has released a unique reversible collection of women’s shorts and sports bras in seven pastel colors with complementary tank tops and additional men’s t-shirts. The quick-dry, dual layer polyester/spandex material can be stretched in any direction without becoming see-through. Following its launch in 2016, this is the third collection released by the brand and its Cuba-born founders, Hansel de Haro and Gus Baldor.

ALPHA Territory is a fitness apparel and lifestyle brand that promotes healthy living and prides itself in providing the ultimate quality and service for its products. In pursuit of the American dream, De Haro and Baldor launched the brand and community inspired by their own health and weight loss journeys. Their collective aim was to create a brand that would focus on more than just the product sold, but be an inclusive, supportive community that provides information to support fitness and improve overall quality of life.

Born and raised in La Habana, Cuba, Hansel de Haro was an entrepreneur at heart with a passion for designing and presenting products that surpass visual and quality expectations. This directed him to pursue a formal architecture education which began in Cuba and ultimately led to his immigration to the US and earning his master’s degree from Florida International University in 2014.

“In order to achieve something unique, you have to create an experience that is different from your competitors,” said de Haro. “That goes for both the idea you want to develop and the customers you will present it to. It stems from your life experiences.”

​​Baldor emigrated from Cuba at a young age in 1985 and grew up in Hialeah, Florida, where he grew as a professional until he was able to open his first business in the automotive industry. This led to his introduction to De Haro, where ALPHA Territory was ultimately born.

“I’m blessed to have the opportunity to live in the USA where you can achieve your dreams if you are willing to work hard and continue to learn!” Baldor said.

Family is everything for the ALPHA Territory founders, having been brought up in close-knit households that remained connected through adversity. They believe that a strong circle of friends, teammates and/or business partners is the key to success in fitness and in life. They adopted this same concept of building and strengthening relationships over opportunities when developing ALPHA Territory and throughout its continued exponential growth.

About ALPHA Territory, Corp.

ALPHA Territory, Corp. is an independent, minority-owned designer, promoter and distributor of high quality, branded athletic performance apparel, headquartered in Miami, Florida and operated by a close-knit community of fitness enthusiasts.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB)
August 10, 2021

Defiance Ventures, the Charlotte-based venture builder, today announced its investment in Boxmagic. Boxmagic is a software platform for gym and sports facility owners that helps manage day-to-day operations, field reservations, enables online payments and e-commerce sales, and as of March 2020 allows gyms to stream classes to their members. While Boxmagic is headquartered in Charlotte, NC, Boxmagic currently serves the Latin American market.

“Understanding gym owners’ pain points comes naturally to Kyle as a former gym owner and competitive CrossFit athlete herself. She and her team have identified an underserved market and constructed a world class product to meet their needs. We believe strong growth is in their future as they are in an excellent place to become the prominent gym software throughout Latin America,” said John Espey, co-founder and CEO of Defiance Ventures.

The Latin American gym market is the largest in the world and is quickly garnering the attention of a global audience. Defiance’s investment in Boxmagic comes on the heels of the June 2021 announcement of Gympass’s $220 million dollar Series E round, achieving a $2.2 billion dollar valuation. Gympass’s growth, a universal membership application which launched in Brazil and focused on selling directly to employers, shows how prominent the Latin American market has become in the fit-tech space. Boxmagic is currently working with Gympass to finalize an integration that will allow Boxmagic gyms to seamlessly accept Gympass memberships.

Boxmagic launched in Chile in 2017 and is currently focused on expanding to Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and the United States. While the pandemic curbed the growth of many fitness related companies, Boxmagic enabled continuous revenue generation for gyms with the addition of online streaming and outdoor field reservations, despite gyms in its home market of Chile being shut down. Many gyms have just recently been allowed to open again, spurring growth and promise for Boxmagic’s future.

“As a founder, I’ve tried to bring on investors that have expertise and knowledge of the fitness industry, or building B2B companies. And as a human, I look for investors that share our core values and commitment to diversity and inclusion. All of these things make Defiance a fantastic fit for us, and we are truly honored to have them invest in this round.

During the pandemic we doubled down on our core product, we rebranded and we focused on building a stronger and more efficient company. Now, coming out on the other side, we’re well positioned to hit the ground running. This investment comes at the perfect time to come out aggressively and go after market share in Latin America” said Kyle Hepp, founder and CEO of Boxmagic.

BOSTON (PRWEB)
August 09, 2021

Boston-based Nutrimedy, a digital health companion for nutrition support, has announced that the first patient has been enrolled in a feasibility study in conjunction with the University of Kansas Medical Center to evaluate usability of the Nutrimedy digital health companion solution by individuals with heart failure that are remotely monitored with a device programmed with the Boston Scientific HeartLogic™ Heart Failure (HF) Diagnostic.

The study will assess the ability to gather patient dietary intake through Nutrimedy as well as evaluate sensor data from the HeartLogic HF Diagnostic compared to dietary intake. Each participant will also receive virtual consultations from a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist during the study. All participants will be enrolled from a single clinic and the study is estimated to take four to six months total.

Heart failure affects around 6.5 million people in the U.S. and is expected to climb to 8 million by 2030. Most heart failure patients have one or more chronic conditions, such as atrial fibrillation, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes or chronic kidney disease.

“We have known for quite some time that diet and nutrition are critically important aspects of patient health, and this couldn’t be more relevant than it is for patients suffering from heart failure,” said Andrew J. Sauer, M.D., Associate Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center. “Combining heart failure diagnostic data with the expertise of professionals at Nutrimedy puts the power of technology literally at the patient’s fingertips. We are excited about how this can improve patient outcomes as we continue to innovate best practices for caring for people with this terrible disease.”

“Even though heart failure ranks in the top five conditions that drive hospitalizations, with 30-day readmission estimates of nearly 25 percent, clinical nutrition care is extremely limited due to a lack of reimbursement. Heart failure patients also face many health disparities and are managing multiple other comorbidities, which further increases the complexity of managing the disease,” explained Karolina Starczak, Nutrimedy’s CEO.

Nutrition interventions can target diuresis and preventing vasoconstriction, but may also contribute to improved cardiac function and can address medication associated with micronutrient deficiencies, inadequate intake of nutrients, malnutrition, and physiological changes to nutrient utilization. However, it is common for the nutrition picture to get oversimplified for patients with heart failure, where most recommendations focus solely on sodium and fluid intake. There is an opportunity for dietary modifications and nutrition interventions to be an adjuvant to medications to improve outcomes for patients with heart failure and reduce the need for multiple hospitalizations.

Nutrimedy’s Chief Clinical Officer, Mallory Franklin says, “Our mission is to provide access to medical nutrition therapy for patients managing high risk chronic conditions. This is especially important for patients with heart failure where one meal could mean readmission or hospitalization. We are thrilled to be working with Dr. Sauer at University of Kansas Medical Center to explore the relationship between diet and cardiac function to ultimately drive changes in care that include nutrition support for all patients with heart failure.”

About Nutrimedy

Nutrimedy is a digital health company focused on the next generation of evidence- based clinical nutrition care to provide real-time at-point recommendations and decision making assistance to patients using a virtual model. Nutrimedy provides longitudinal support and guidance for over 50 conditions through built-in video appointments with registered dietitians, secure messaging, file sharing, educational content, customizable trackers and AI-enabled photo food logging.

A glimpse of the Quick fit event

DEHRADUN, India (PRWEB)
August 09, 2021

Adding the drizzle of excitement, creativity, music, and a lot of fun, Himalayan Institute of Technology’s “MONSOON RAGA” fest was really very stimulating and impressive. HIT Dehradun organized this virtual mass event as a sign of bearing refreshment for its freshers while bidding adieu to its passing out batch simultaneously.

This mass event was inaugurated with the enlightening words of Dr.Prof. Archana Jasola, Director of HIT Dehradun on 3rd August 2021.

HIT Dehradun celebrated this prolific fest for 3 consecutive days from 3rd to 5th August 2021. The opening innovatory event named “Light – Camera – Action” was held on 3rd August 2021. It was a creative movie-making event planned by the Digital/IT club of the HIT and bagged a collection of ingenious and imaginative pre-recorded videos of 2 to 3 minutes with creative edits and sound effects. The movies were shot in different genres like nature, humanity, virtue, comedy, and values. The juries of HIT Dehradun shortlisted the winners based on the movie’s creativeness, technical upliftment, effect, video quality, and content of the movie. The movies which bagged the first 3 prizes were screened on the digital fest.

The next engaging event drew up by the agriculture club of the Himalayan Institute of Technology in consonance with the HITDOON’s Monsoon Raga fest was “Grow with us”. With the motto to accelerate the habit of gardening amidst the modern youths this promethean event bore relaxation and calm. The event snared varieties of plants species and their support for human welfare which amazed the jury panel. Contenders described a live plant through a short 3 to 5 minutes creative and knowledgeable video.

Event named “Quick fit”, gave an exciting cum initiative end to the first day, driving the contestants to concentrate on their physical fitness. The event was planned by the sports club and began 3 days prior where progress of all player’s step counts was published via electronic media and supported by “Adidas mobile application”. Photos of the event were uploaded on the HIT DOON’s official Facebook page captioning, “An initiative of HITDOON’s in transforming the present-day youngster’s mind towards physical fitness had become a huge success via this ‘quick fit’ challenge”.

Second day was a visual cultural treat with a “Dance Competition” organized by the dance troop of HIT Dehradun bearing an entertaining refreshment in harmony with the Monsoon Raga fest. The pre-recorded video clips of the first three performances were show cast during the event. In the “Go Solo Dance Solo” digital event, eminent dancers of HITDOON performed various styles like Indian, traditional, western, and fusion.

The most trending online contest among the present Instagram users was the online photography contest. Keeping this in mind the photography troop of the Himalayan Institute of Technology marshaled an online photography fixture on an energizing theme, “Focus your sight towards the beauty of the surroundings and arrest it through the camera”. The majority of the photography aspirants of HITDOON shuttered their camera and forwarded the best-clicks, which were posted on the official Facebook and Instagram accounts of HIT Dehradun. Results were declared based upon the highest likes and shares received.

In addition to this, the originality, concept, technical excellence, effectiveness, composition, and overall quality of the picture were also taken into consideration.

The third and the last day of the Monsoon Raga fest was largely dominated by the Hotel Management club of HIT with event such as “Chef’s Kitchen”. An online cookery contest exclusively arranged for the HIT learners to indulge in preparing and presenting an attractively unique dish through creative, hygienic, and intriguing pre-recorded videos and photographs of their preparation. Culinary science experts Chef. Anoop Semwal and his team decided on the results considering a great deal of factors involved.

Climax event of this mass fest was lined up for 5th August with the fashion apparel dressing competition named “Indian traditional dressing contest” arranged solely by the fashion club at HIT. In this spectacular event, the apparel designers of HITDOON presented a virtual ramp walk with demurely dressed students flaunting their appropriate jewellery which was bagged by the right makeup adding all up to the perfect Indian look.

“Life of Rhythms”, arranged by the singing and musical troop of HITDOON concluded the fest in the most heart-warming manner. The prizemen of this event were chosen by the best singers owing to their talent, voice clarity, and effectiveness of voice.
