“When you ride it, you feel good about yourself.”
In 2005, former Marine and Ironman triathlete Bryan Pate lost his ability to run for exercise. After being disappointed by cycling and waiting in line at the gym for an elliptical trainer, he set out to create a low-impact outdoor running device that would give him the results he was getting with running. With incredible tenacity and hard work, he brought his dream to life and created the ElliptiGO bike.
Now, his bikes are used by elite athletes, over 300 university athletic programs, celebrities, and fitness enthusiasts all over the world. There is an entire ElliptiGO community that rides together, shares their adventures, and meets for various competitive ElliptiGo events, such as the 5 Burroughs Ride that takes over the streets of New York City. “Within the family of ElliptiGO, there’s people who fight cancer, people who lose 100 pounds, who get off medications, who feel like they can run again. The letters we get and the positive energy that accrues around this experience has been overwhelming, “said Bryan.
In this episode, Bryan talks about what it took to create ElliptiGO, the challenges he faced along the way, lessons he learned about starting a new business, the lives that have been impacted by his bikes, and the ElliptiGo family he loves so much.
