New Self Contained GSky® MOBILE Versa Wall® Prepares Workplace For Expectations Of Employees


Living office partition

MOBILE VERSA WALL

For more than 17 years, GSky® Plant Systems, Inc., has designed, built, and maintained Living Green Walls worldwide. GSky’s portfolio of Versa, Pro, and Basic Living Green Walls has made it the leader in the “green’ industry, with beautiful and innovative creations adorning the interiors and exteriors of Fortune 500 companies around the globe.

Now GSky® is bringing Living Green Walls to the floor with the introduction of the self-contained MOBILE Versa Wall®. Destined to become the standard in the “green’’ industry, each MOBILE Versa Wall® is designed to provide a flexible solution to privacy and social distancing barriers facing the corporate world, including large and small businesses and hospitals.

“The MOBILE Versa Wall® is the ultimate in ‘space’ planning,’’ said GSky® CEO Hal Thorne. “The future is really in this type of unit.’’

The flexibility of the MOBILE Versa Wall® is multi-fold, beginning with its self-containment technology. Tank and pump irrigation is included in each unit, which can hold up to 12 usable gallons of water. Eliminating the need for a water feed and drain – and with its own built-in lighting – guarantees plants will remain full and healthy. A single, smart-control unit makes it simple to control the lighting and irrigation.

“Because of its self-containment technologies, the GSky® MOBILE Versa Wall® is the ideal entry into the world of Living Green Walls,’’ Thorne said. “And it’s a perfect complement for businesses already reaping the rewards of our Living Green Walls.’’

Measuring 79.25 inches high, 40 inches wide, and 19 inches deep, the GSky® MOBILE Versa Wall® optimizes floor space with the added health, wellness, and design benefits of live plants. Each MOBILE Versa Wall® can be bundled for any sized meeting space, office, or public space. When space needs change, each wall easily can be moved to accommodate a new design.

Each MOBILE Versa Wall® is made in the USA with white-powder coated aluminum and comes equipped with heavy-duty, locking swivel casters with height-adjustment capabilities and a 35.5-inch, 40-watt LED light bar. The casters further highlight the self-containment technology, as each Wall can be rolled into a space by only one person.

Mixed tropical plants can be designed and installed on either or each side of the Wall. A two-sided plant wall, for example, contains up to 192 four-inch containers that are irrigated through a self-contained, recirculating system.

For those seeking only plants on one side, each MOBILE Versa Wall® holds up to 96 four-inch mixed tropicals, with the same self-contained, recirculating system. The other side of the wall features a dry-erase board, perfect for everything from talking points to special notices.

A GSky® MOBILE Versa Wall® will help define office/workspace; improve productivity and creativity; optimize air purification, add flexibility to space configuration; and improve health and well-being.

“It is essential to make people feel comfortable and safe in work and public spaces,’’ Thorne said. “Our GSky MOBILE Versa Wall® does just that and more. It’s a game-changer in the way Living Green Walls can – and will – be used.’’

About GSky®

GSky® Plant Systems, Inc., has headquarters offices in Delray Beach, Fl., and Vancouver, British Columbia, and Sales Offices in Denver, Colo., and Hamburg, Germany. GSky® is a leading provider of vertical Living Green Walls in North America, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. The company was founded based on the explosive growth of green technology.

In addition to the MOBILE Versa Wall®, all GSky® Living Green Walls are irrigated by low flow drip emitters on programmable controllers and, in many cases, can be equipped with recycling components to create an extremely efficient low water usage system.

GSky® currently has more than 900 installed, or under contract, Living Green Walls, representing more than 300,000 square feet in 19 countries.

Parents Are Ready to Send Kids to Summer Camp and Camps Are Ready to Welcome Them


For a high-res picture for publication, please contact lgooderl@ccca.org

Eighty-six percent of parents of elementary school campers and 83% of parents of high schoolers said they will be registering their students for summer camp in 2021.

I believe camp is going to be a great gift to families this year. Camp has always been good for kids, but the unique environment and activities offered at camp seem to be the perfect antidote to a year of isolation, worry and heavy tech use.

Many states are announcing that summer camp is on for 2021, and it appears that families are eager for their kids to have this quintessential summer experience. Most camps and conference centers have been shuttered since COVID began in March of 2020 and are ready to welcome campers and their families to their properties.

Christian Camp and Conference Association (CCCA), an organization serving more than 850 member camps who, in turn, serve approximately 6.9 million campers and guests a year, surveyed 6,000 parents to determine attitudes about summer camp as the U.S. begins planning for recovery from COVID-19. Eighty-six percent of parents of elementary school campers and 83% of parents of high schoolers said they will be registering their students for summer camp in 2021.

Parents were also asked about the impact of the pandemic on their families and the things that concern them the most. Sixty-two percent of parents of high schoolers said their stress levels are worse to significantly worse than they were prior to the pandemic. Of all of the concerns parents have in dealing with the pandemic, they were most concerned with the time their children are spending online and the time they’re spending in isolation with limited interaction with others. Mental health professionals are expressing concern about how the mental health crisis among teens has been exacerbated by COVID-19. More than half of the parents surveyed said they were ‘more concerned’ to ‘very concerned’ about their high schooler’s mental health at this time.

“I believe camp is going to be a great gift to families this year. Camp has always been good for kids, but the unique environment and activities offered at camp seem to be the perfect antidote to a year of isolation, worry and heavy tech use,” Gregg Hunter, president/CEO of CCCA, said. “Camp provides kids with a chance to get outdoors, try new things, experience adventure, overcome healthy challenges, build friendships and escape the pressures of daily life.”

Parents surveyed said they felt the time away from screens that camp provides is incredibly important and welcome (96%) as is the opportunity to become more independent (87%.) “Camp is the perfect combination of time in nature, time with caring adults, incredible fun, relationship building and self-discovery – a combination we desperately need during this season of recovery,” Hunter said. “CCCA members have learned a lot in the past year about protocols that will keep campers safer in light of COVID. We’ve hosted trainings and round tables and shared best practices. Camp leaders tell me they are ready to welcome campers and guests with health protocols in place.”

About CCCA

CCCA exists to maximize ministry for member camps and conference centers. CCCA offers a search portal that allows parents, guardians, churches and youth leaders to find a camp based upon activities, amenities and locations. Visit ThePowerofCamp.com to learn more.

It was frustrating to know my wife and I were paying rent each month that included the cost of a service we couldn’t use,” said Wang. “I’m excited to provide a solution for this all-too-common problem, especially in such a fast-growing, active community.”

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, technicians take extra precautions by wearing face masks, shoe covers, and gloves and using disinfectant wipes when servicing equipment.

Mobile Trainers Launches On-Demand Personal Training in Scottsdale, AZ


We’re providing life-changing fitness results for individuals who want or need to avoid a traditional gym!”

Mobile Trainers is shaking up the traditional personal training model with its new in-home service, designed for individuals who want to achieve their fitness goals from the comfort of their home.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the service we’re offering here in the Greater Phoenix Area,” said Justin Townsend, Training Director at Mobile Trainers. He added, “We’re providing life-changing fitness results for individuals who want or need to avoid a traditional gym!”

Unique Training Process

It is a full-suite mobile training experience. Utilizing a fleet of vans, fully loaded with a wide variety of fitness equipment, Mobile Trainers delivers high-end personal trainers directly to clients’ homes. From corrective exercise to powerlifting, Mobile Trainers achieves fitness goals through a combination of fitness training and nutrition coaching.

Results are targeted via portable 3D imaging technology. Mobile Trainers’ body-transformation process incorporates monthly 3D body scans. These scans allow Mobile Trainers to track progress, refine training programs, and keep clients on the fast track to progress.

These are not your average personal trainers. Unlike traditional gyms, Mobile Trainers does not pay its trainers based on sales, they pay them based on the measurable results they obtain for their clients. It’s also worth noting that less than 1% of trainer applications have been accepted to date, making it one of the most exclusive training services in the area.

“You become a trainer hoping to help people, and then gyms force you to become a sales person instead. That’s not the case with Mobile Trainers,” said Justin. “My team gets to focus on their passion for helping people. Whether it be losing inches, building muscle, reducing pain, or increasing flexibility, we get it done.”

Service Availability

Mobile Trainers is currently accepting new clients in Scottsdale and surrounding areas. The first step toward becoming a client is to schedule a free evaluation session, which can be done over the phone or via their website’s online form.

News Image

Aloisia Beauty™ announces the launch of GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel, the newest product innovation in its collection of clean, genuine K-Beauty skin care. A multi-action gel-based peel, GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel gently exfoliates dead skin cells, smooths skin texture, clears pores, brightens, and locks-in moisture to immediately reveal soft, fresh, glowing skin.

“Aloisia Beauty is committed to supporting consumers on their skin care journey with products that deliver visible results, while respecting the skin’s integrity and health. GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel is packed with good-for-you ingredients to renew skin texture and radiance, without abrasive agents or harsh chemicals,” said Veronica Konecke, Aloisia Beauty Co-Founder. “This launch is the first in a significant expansion of our accessibly-priced solutions for every step in the K-Beauty ritual and any skin care routine.”

GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel delivers a blend of proven botanical and marine ingredients used in Korean skin care for centuries, along with carefully-researched ingredients from science for a safe and effective exfoliating experience. The proprietary formulation features the dual chemical and mechanical exfoliating actions of Papaya Fruit enzymes and plant-based Microcrystalline Cellulose, which work together to dissolve and buff away dead skin cells and impurities, and bring skin back to a silky, supple and radiant state.

GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel’s formula also includes ultra-hydrating Sodium Hyaluronate and the powerful humectant Lipidure® PMB to boost moisture retention and elasticity, an antioxidant-rich trio of Green Tea, Aloe, and Vitamin E for soothing protection, Rosa Hybrid Flower and the amino acid Arginine to moisturize and plump, and Licorice Root to help fade spots.

When applied one to three times per week with a massaging motion, GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel gels and rolls to visibly uncover a fresh-faced glow. It also helps amplify the benefits of other products used in multi-step skin care regimens like K-Beauty’s, where exfoliation follows the double-cleanse and helps prime skin to better receive subsequent toners, serums, ampoules, masks, and moisturizers.

The debut of GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel marks Aloisia Beauty’s rollout of new products throughout 2021 to support various skin care steps. The brand first launched in 2019 with essential daily masks and the 7-Day Skin Care System, followed by Aloe Stem Cell 3-in-1 Skin Care System and DEEP HYDRATION Aloe Gel Mist.

The Edge Fitness Clubs Partners With FORTË To Create Edge Total Access+


The Edge Fitness Clubs, with 34 locations throughout CT, PA, NJ, RI, DE, MI, IL, and MO, has officially made its digital debut. Edge Total Access+ is a live and on-demand streaming platform powered by FORTË, delivering health and fitness content to members any way and anywhere they want to access it. While the work to create a digital platform began before the pandemic, the development schedule accelerated quickly after March 2020 in an effort to provide a fitness experience for members to enjoy at home or away from its brick and mortar locations.

“The goal for our digital product was to create meaningful, quality content for all our members and deliver it in a format that’s optimized for each device vs simply placing a camera in a group exercise room,” said Jenn Kuehn, Senior National Director of Group Exercise. “If we were going to do this, it had to be done with the same level of detail and quality as everything else The Edge is known for,” said John McGrail, Senior Director, Digital Marketing. “For us, it was about creating a community of our best instructors, our best fitness content and our most engaged members.”

This is a significant introduction for The Edge Fitness Clubs. With hundreds of thousands of members, a large geographic footprint, and several amenities that appeal to all fitness tastes, Edge Total Access+ is also a recruitment tool to invite people into group fitness. Kuehn said, “It’s my team’s intention and responsibility to create content for every member, regardless of where they are – in the gym, in a class, at home or on the road and we strive to continuously innovate and meet people where they are in their fitness journey.”

Content, however, is only part of the equation. Technology serves as the backbone of the platform. The Edge Fitness Clubs needed a partner capable of handling the technical aspects of filming, streaming, and integration with their membership software, all while maintaining brand integrity. “We evaluated a number of solutions before selecting FORTË,” said McGrail. “They check all the boxes and then some. We were especially interested in their 2-way communication features and data and reporting capabilities.”

FORTË is a fully-automated and all-inclusive white label solution that helps fitness operators seamlessly produce live and on-demand fitness classes. They provide software and hardware – including cameras and lighting – and facilitate the entire installation process. FORTË Founder and CEO, Lauren Foundos, couldn’t be happier with the partnership. “The Edge is a great brand and very sophisticated client,” says Foundos. “Prior to the pandemic we catered to boutique fitness. Now we are working with several ‘big box’ partners. These gyms have bigger teams, larger databases and different needs. They consistently challenge our technology, programming and streaming teams. We make each other better, but it is their members who benefit most. That’s why we do what we do.”

ABOUT THE EDGE

In 1988, Vin Sansone started working on the dream he had since he was a boy. Vin’s dream was to own a gym and that is exactly what he did. Grabbing his family and friends as supporters, the Fitness Edge started coming to life. The company’s mission is to provide a beautiful club where members can have a great workout. That has and always will be the #1 goal no matter how much The Edge Fitness Clubs grows. Edge locations opened all along the Connecticut shoreline in Fairfield County to start. In 2017, with 13 clubs in Connecticut, The Edge announced its’ expansion into the Greater Philadelphia market, and now there are locations in CT, PA, NJ, RI, DE, MI, IL, and MO. As The Edge continues to open clubs along the East Coast and Midwest, the focus remains on creating the best possible experience, in the clubs and online, for all members.

ABOUT FORTË

FORTË is a female founded and led technology company. Launched by Lauren Foundos in 2015, FORTË’s while label streaming platform helps boutique fitness studios, big box gyms and health clubs create premium live and on-demand fitness experiences for members. The FORTË solution is proprietary, turn-key and all inclusive. The company provides hardware and software, and facilitates the entire installation process. By removing complexities associated with production FORTË’s fully-automated streaming solution allows fitness operators to focus on what they do best – create world-class content and deliver it to members wherever they are.

Wellness platform, lulafit, relaunches its brand to appeal to an evolving customer base.
