Our clients are re-opening their in-person gyms to hundreds of thousands in revenue while others are generating six to seven-figures in online workouts. It’s been really great to see.

TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB)
July 01, 2020

Exercise.com, the fitness industry’s leading tech company specializing in all-in-one business software for gyms and fitness professionals, announced that 913,628,072 lifted pounds were logged through its software during the months of May and June. This announcement highlights the growing demand for virtual training in this new age of fitness – an age where even gym giants like 24 Hour Fitness and Gold’s Gym are unsafe from COVID-related bankruptcies.

Despite gym closures, Exercise.com’s clients have not only logged close to one-billion pounds in weight, but have kept their virtual doors open, and have generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue by taking advantage of the apps designed by Exercise.com to provide virtual training and, as gyms begin to open, safe, socially-distanced in-person training.

“By providing access to digital workouts through their branded apps and scheduling live virtual training through Zoom, while also offering in-person training and gym management solutions that focus on gym member safety, like casting workouts onto TV screens to support a six-foot distance and touchless check-ins, we’ve been able to help our clients increase their monthly earnings and re-open effectively despite the pandemic,” said Jeff Crews, Exercise.com CMO. “Our clients are re-opening their in-person gyms to hundreds of thousands in revenue while others are generating six to seven-figures in online workouts. It’s been really great to see.”

This news backs up research showcasing the increase in consumer demand for virtual fitness offerings and solidifies tech’s positioning in the fitness industry. However, gyms and fitness professionals need more than just a Zoom integration to earn money when in-person membership is lacking – and that’s where software like Exercise.com comes into play. Exercise.com business development consultant, David Meadows, stated, “This is an important time for trainers and gyms to realign their business models to accommodate both in-person and online training since COVID’s end is nowhere in sight. Exercise.com has proven that its software can do just that.”

The high response rate of Neihulizumab in this study encourages us to move this drug candidate forward. SR-aGVHD continues to be a significant unmet medical need and further treatment options are required.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (PRWEB)
July 01, 2020

AltruBio Inc. http://www.altrubio.com, a clinical stage biotech company, presented its phase 1a findings of Neihulizumab, a biologic for the treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD), at European Hematology Association (EHA) annual conference in June 2020. Led by hemato-oncologist Dr. Paul J Martin of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, this single-arm, open-label Phase 1 single dose, dose-finding study demonstrated a 77% (10/13 patients) response rate after a single dose of Neihulizumab treatment with 69% (9/13) of patients responding after 28 days.

The study Lead, Dr. Paul Martin, stated, “The results of this single dose study showed that Neihulizumab has an acceptable PK and safety profile in patients with SR-aGVHD involving the skin. In addition, the results showed evidence of clinical activity in 10/13 patients.”

Dr. Judy Chou, President & CEO of AltruBio Inc., was encouraged by the results stating, “The high response rate of Neihulizumab in this study encourages us to move this drug candidate forward. SR-aGVHD continues to be a significant unmet medical need and further treatment options are required.”

These results support continued testing of neihulizumab in patients with SR-aGVHD with multiple dosing to further assess safety and efficacy. The multiple dose phase of the trial is currently ongoing.

About Neihulizumab.

Neihulizumab is an immune checkpoint agonist antibody targeting PSGL-1/CD162 that depletes chronically activated T cells. This mechanism has been evaluated in four autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and has demonstrated clinical proof of concept and safety in more than 100 patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This study drug is currently in Phase 2 trials for the treatment of refractory ulcerative colitis and in Phase 1 trials for the treatment of SR-aGVHD, with encouraging results in patients that are refractory to available therapies. Phase 1 trial for the treatment of front-line acute GvHD is currently initiated.

About acute Graft-versus-Host Disease.

Acute GvHD is a major complication following an allogeneic HCT. Somewhere between 30 and 70 percent of transplant recipients develop acute GvHD. Standard first –line treatment is systemic, high-dose glucocorticoid, with around 50% response rate and are associated with clinically significant side effects. Patients who do not respond to corticosteroid treatment are considered steroid-refractory. SR-aGVHD is a significant unmet medical need and novel, effective treatments are urgently needed.

AbGn-107 has demonstrated encouraging results in chemo-refractory gastric, pancreatic, colorectal and biliary cancers.

Dr. Field Harrison and wife Sabrina of MINT dentistry with Tracy German of Cake Bar

“We believe that Black Lives Matter and we are doing all we can to support this movement for human justice and positive change in our nation and world,” Dr. Harrison said.

DALLAS (PRWEB)
July 01, 2020

Cake Bar in Trinity Groves was the place to be for Juneteenth on June 19 in a celebration thrown by MINT dentistry at the popular Dallas bakery. In addition to enjoying slices of delicious cake, compliments of MINT dentistry, attendees also had the opportunity to get to know Ms. Tracy German, the black entrepreneur behind the buzzworthy brand.

Juneteenth commemorates news of emancipation reaching Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. Now, 155 years later, people in states across the U.S. mark the occasion with celebrations. MINT dentistry showed its support for local black-owned business and for the community by inviting everyone to the party to celebrate freedom together.

More than 550 slices of cake were savored by attendees at the Juneteenth event, which also included live entertainment from DJ Slim and giveaways from MINT dentistry employees.

Cake Bar offers a large selection of traditional, southern-style cakes, a variety of quick breads and fresh-from-the-oven cookies. Owner Tracy German is a long-time baker and culinary chef who is passionate about food and people. “Making food for people is a very personal thing, and it connects you to every person,” she said. German is famous for her large selection of scratch-made cakes in 16 delicious flavors.

MINT dentistry founder Dr. Field Harrison and Sabrina Harrison have been leading the community in serving and charitable efforts since the re-opening of the city at the beginning of May with grocery giveaways and other food distribution efforts. After the death of George Floyd shook the nation, the company also turned to show their support of the black community in Dallas.

“We believe that Black Lives Matter and we are doing all we can to support this movement for human justice and positive change in our nation and world,” Dr. Harrison said. “As a company, one of our core values is love. Love is the driving force and motivation behind all of our charitable giving and it is why we will always support the equality and freedom of all people, races and ethnicities worldwide,” Dr. Harrison said.

“We are committed to using our influence to release the love and power of God in the lives of people. We are honored to stand alongside the black members of our community today and always. We want to support black-owned businesses as a way to bless this community and give tangible hope that the world can change and become a place where every human is treated with the dignity, respect and honor they so deserve,” Sabrina Harrison said.
