As we celebrate Father's Day here in Sweden, we want to take a moment to recognize some of the amazing dads who are part of the Gymleco family! And who better to start with than the original Gymleco dad himself, Kari Jernvall, founder of Gymleco, pictured below with his two daughters, Monica Sotkasiira, CEO of Gymleco, and Linda Sotkasiira, Head of Marketing. As a family-owned company, family has always been at the heart of Gymleco, and we're proud to carry that legacy forward.
Today, we're celebrating all the amazing dads who are always there to support, encourage and inspire us. Whether it's lifting heavy at the gym, carrying all the grocery bags in one trip or simply being the family's everyday superhero.
But have you ever wondered which gym machines are the favorites of dads who work with gym equipment every day?
We asked four of our very own Gymleco dads to share their favorite pieces of equipment from our range. Here's a little glimpse into the people behind Gymleco and the machines they love most!
Four Dads, Four Favorites
Oscar
When it comes to choosing a Gymleco favorite, Oscar knows exactly what he likes. His top pick are the new boxing gloves!
"I love to do a long boxing session whenever I get the chance. A great way to train your whole body."
Rasmus
With so much training equipment to choose from, picking just one isn't always easy. But for Rasmus, the practical weight vest takes the top spot!
"I use the weight vest on my runs when I want to maximise the workout. Preferably as heavy as possible."
Stefan
Everyone has their go-to workout, and Stefan is no exception. His personal favorite is to train with a kettlebell!
"With kettlebells I get an intense full body workout in a short amount of time. Perfect when you have other things to focus on."
Saad
Last but certainly not least, we have Saad, whose favorite piece of Gymleco products are the classic dumbbells.
"A pair of hex dumbbells are a must in your home gym! You can train most of your body with a pair of good dumbbells!"
A Special Shoutout to All the Dads!
At Gymleco, we're proud of the people behind our machines. As a Swedish family-owned company, family has always been an important part of who we are.
This Father's Day, we want to give a little extra appreciation to all the dads who inspire, encourage and support the people around them, both inside and outside the gym.
From all of us at Gymleco, Happy Father's Day! 💙
