Gymstick International was founded in 2003 by two sports-minded Finns. Miika Vesalainen and Risto Kasurinen pioneered the Nordic Walking movement, which has gained millions of followers worldwide in recent years.
The company has grown steadily since its beginnings and today distributes products in more than 45 countries around the world. Miika and Risto first developed the Gymstick Original, a fiberglass pole with two elastic bands and foot straps each, which brought great success as part of the Gymstick concept.
Over the last few years, the company has continuously expanded its product range with numerous new products. Especially in the areas of fitness, outdoor sports, physiotherapy, products for the private sector as well as in corporate health management, Gymstick has created an outstanding position in the market.
