If you have ever watched any of Paul’s exercise videos on his YouTube channel, you’ve seen him using equipment made by Eleiko, one of the most successful family-owned companies in the world based in Sweden.
Paul’s love of Eleiko runs far deeper than merely being a serious fan of their equipment and gear as you’ll discover in this week’s Living 4D conversation/reunion with Gunnila and Erik Blomberg, the mainstays behind this internationally renowned company.
The Blombergs share the deep respect and affection they have for Paul and the CHEK Institute and how Gunnila helped bring CHEK principles and How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy to an international audience hungering for it.
Learn more about Eleiko — their array of equipment, educational offerings and success stories — on their website.
