Keep Fit at Home

 

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has caused many businesses to struggle, St Kilda based personal trainer Rocco Sorace Sole business owner of Vitahealthandfitness instead saw the pandemic as an opportunity.


"Before the lockdown, when I used to train clients at the gym or workplaces, I noticed a lot of my clients didn't enjoy using the traditional latex resistance bands, because they'd slip a lot, and end up snapping over time," Rocco said. "I decided I should develop my own resistance bands, with non-slip stitching, material, and hand grips to prevent slipping and snapping." Rocco has had positive feedback from customers who suffer from MS and are enjoying working out at home with the hand friendly handles designed by Rocco.


When Melbourne went into lockdown last year, he saw it as "sink or swim". As all the city's gyms were forced to close, and he was unable to
hold training sessions with clients, he knew he had to do something big for his business to be able to survive.


Between hosting personal training classes and workplace Pilates classes over Zoom, Rocco spent six months inventing his proprietary design, which he is currently in the process of trademarking.


Roccobands launch with their first batch selling out in just five hours. Since then, the brand has continued to experience unprecedented demand.


"It's amazing being able to live the entrepreneurial dream, even though the lockdowns we've had over the past year," Rocco said.


"It can be tricky, especially when you're dealing with the fitness industry, where and you're competing with a lot of younger influencers and fitness fanatics on Instagram, but I really believe there's a market for everyone, and that if you persist, and stay true to yourself and your clients, you're going to succeed." Rocco believes the key to RoccoBands' success is they are "stronger and better in quality than similar products on the market."


"With the pandemic, more and more people are working out at home, so these bands really help them take their workouts to the next level," Rocco said. "They're incredibly eco-friendly, because they're very robust, and are not going to wear out quickly. They're also very hand-friendly as well, so anyone can use them – even my clients with arthritis, who struggle to use traditional bands and dumbbells."


At present, RoccoBands are sold as a 3 pack set, including 1 x 1.5 metre light fabric resistance band, 1 x 1.5 metre medium fabric resistance band, and 1 x non-slip medium strength fabric loop "booty" band. Every set also comes with a branded carry bag, and three downloadable workout programs by Rocco. They can be used at the gym, at home, or outdoors for resistance, flexibility, strength, and personal training, body posture improvement, yoga, pilates, and weight loss.
