TITIN Training Gear Launches on Fundable: Helps Athletes Reach Peak Performance

patrick whaleySince launching in 2010, TITIN Tech’s mission has been to maximize functionality and performance and to help people everywhere train at the absolute peak of their ability. The company’s flagship product, TITIN Force, is weighted compression gear that uses proprietary HyperGravity technology to boost the efficiency of workouts and improve speed, balance, endurance and vertical leap.  “Athletes are always looking for a system or a product to make them lighter, faster and stronger,” explained the company, “and they have found that in the TITIN Force weighted compression system.” Following its successful June Kickstarter campaign which raised over $117,000 from 579 backers, TITIN initiated its crowdfunding campaign on Fundable.  

Endorsed by the international athletes including Alex LaChance- 2014 CrossFit titinGames Competitor, Johnathan Cyprien- NFL Jacksonville Jaguars Starting Safety, Kelley Jackson – 2014 CrossFit Games Competitor, Isaiah Vidal – #2 Spartan Race OCR Racer in the Country, Mark Bloom -MLS Toronto FC Starting Right Back,Alex White – UFC Undefeated in his professional career, Victor Ortiz – Former WBC Welterweight Boxing Champion, and Hanno Dirksen – Winger for Welsh Ospreys, TITIN’s performance equipment has gained traction.

The TITIN Force Shorts System has all the same features as the Shirt System, including antimicrobial properties and moisture wicking. Like the shirt, the shorts feature medical-grade gel weight inserts that are the same density as muscle tissue. “The dynamic loading of weights gives the equivalent feeling of a 35 pound vest,” said Patrick Whaley, Founder and CEO of TITIN. “However, that weight is evenly distributed throughout the body, specifically focusing on hamstrings, glutes and thighs, and allows the user a full range of motion.”

The campaign deftly explains how the Force Shorts System works: The weighted gel titininserts are worn under a top compression layer and help strengthen both muscles and tendons, enabling athletes to increase their calorie burn, lengthen their vertical leap and push their endurance and speed to the maximum level. The versatile gel inserts can be heated or frozen for post-workout temperature therapy and stay pliable at any temperature. The body naturally creates muscle fibers when placed under additional weight, and the TITIN Force System capitalizes on this type of resistance training. The TITIN Force Shirt System adds an extra eight pounds while the TITIN Force Shorts System provides an additional five pounds, giving athletes the option to train under 13 additional pounds of resistance.

“The placement of our weights ensures that the joints and the muscles are working together,” said Whaley. “Because the joints are load-free, muscle fiber is built faster, which means that you see an immediate effect on your body when you remove the weighted system.”

In 2012, TITIN won $10,000 from the Under Armour Innovation Challenge. In early titin 22011, Whaley’s technology also won the Most Fundable award at the GT Business Plan Competition and the Most Bankable Award Rice Business Plan Competition, the largest business plan competition in the world. He also won the Outstanding Product of 2011 at Global Venture Labs in Austin, Texas and First Place and People’s Choice award in the GT InVenture Prize competition 2010. His products were also dubbed “The Next Big Thing” by CNN.

titin 4Future products include TITINfit, a line of fitness and compression wear designed specifically for women, TITIN Tykes, a special children’s line that shrinks TITIN’s unique weighted compression concept to enable children train without damaging their spines or stunting their growth and lastly, TITIN RX, a line of TITIN products designed specifically for medical and rehabilitative use, to be carried by the US medical distribution company WBC Group.

To date, neither detailed financial nor investor information has been disclosed to non-investors; investors may look forward to continued updates on Fundable.
