Further Strengthening TUT's Ability to Make
Home Gym Training More Affordable and Accessible
VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 20, 2021 /CNW/ - AAJ Capital 2 Corp. (TSX-V:
AAJC.P) ("AAJ" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that TUT Fitness Group Limited ("TUT Fitness") has
appointed RJ Wafer to the position of Chief Revenue Officer,
overseeing TUT Fitness' Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy including,
revenue operations, direct sales and affiliate programs, strategic
partnerships, channel planning and strategic relationships with
technology, content, community providers and further development of
TUT's OEM licensing revenue streams.
RJ Wafer has spent the better part of his career working at the
forefront of emerging technologies, and successfully scaling
consumer hardware and software platform companies by leading their
go-to-market initiatives. Before joining TUT, Wafer led the
successful build-out and global distribution sales efforts for
several successful consumer hardware businesses, including the
legendary 3D printing startup, MakerBot Industries (sold in 2013
for $604M USD to Stratasys), and
Double Robotics telepresence robots, the world leaders in mobile
telepresence for the booming remote work marketplace.
TUT Fitness President, Rob Smith,
commented "RJ is a world-class executive and we are very fortunate
to have him join our senior leadership team at a time where the
connected Home Gym and Fit Tech hardware space is experiencing
unprecedented growth. His intimate consumer hardware knowledge,
technology experience, track record of engaging and developing new
markets, global sales and distribution channels for partners, will
further drive our revenue development and wider consumer adoption
of the TUT Home Gym and Rower."
"I am excited to be a part of the TUT Fitness Group's
go-to-market team. TUT combines high-level engineering and
effectiveness with affordability and ease of use, while the roadmap
will expand our role within the fitness community as a whole. We
have a high bar and strong expectations for where we are going, and
I think folks are going to be excited about how we get there.
Personally, I've incorporated the TUT into my own fitness journey,
and I would not be here unless I saw the true potential for us to
be a leader in the marketplace," noted Wafer.
AAJ also wishes to announce that Satnam
Brar has been appointed to the role of AAJ's Corporate
Secretary.
AAJ will issue additional news releases related to the final
legal structure and terms of the previously announced transaction
with TUT Fitness (the "Transaction"), capitalization of TUT
and the Resulting Issuer and TUT financing terms, financial
information regarding TUT, the names and background of insiders of
the Resulting Issuer and other material information as it becomes
available.
The trading in the shares of AAJ is presently halted and will
remain so until the Transaction is completed and approved by the
TSX Venture Exchange.
About TUT Fitness Group Limited
TUT is a private British
Columbia based company that has designed, patented and
manufactured one of the world's smallest and most affordable
high-performance home gyms. Incorporated in 2018, TUT is an
emerging player in the connected Home Gym and Fit Tech hardware
space, targeting the US$9.4B Global
Home Exercise Equipment Market1 and Online
Fitness Market, expected to be US$30B

products, the TUT TrainerTM and Rower are lightweight
and more affordable than other alternatives. TUT's proprietary
"Time Under Tension" technology creates more load on the muscles
than conventional training and cardio machines, while placing less
pressure on joints and tendons. The net result is a higher caloric
burn and a better workout than comparable machines.
