Fitness expert Damian Sanders designs a personal workout device that can be held in one hand and duplicates most gym machines.

Irvine, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/17/2014 -- Finding a place to get a good workout is not always easy, until now. Fitness guru Damian Sanders is leading team experts to develop the XBAR, a revolutionary workout device.

To bring the project to market, Sanders and company have launched www.kickstarter.com/projects/1793433549/the-xbar-a-revolutionary-personal-workout-device?ref=live , to raise the needed money.

"The XBAR will set a new standard for person workouts," Sanders said. "The entire package fits in one small carry bag. You can do enough exercises to keep you busy all day with everything in the bag."

To prove his point, the development team produced a video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZKW4HWHnFA , showing just how versatile the XBAR really is.

"The beauty is in its simplicity. We didn't reinvent the wheel; we just made it so much better," he said. "We took the idea of something already on the market, a curl bar, and turned it into something much greater. Comparing the XBAR to a curl bar is like comparing a one person paddling a canoe to a competitive rowing team. They both get results, but the XBAR delivers professional results in far less time."

The complete XBAR package is the bar itself, push up blocks, door jamb attachment and four resistance bands. Sanders said he's already go manufacturers lined up to produce the various components, including two companies to make the resistance bands.

"Take your workout with you when you travel," Sanders said. "With the XBAR, which fits easily into a suitcase, you don't have to worry about finding a gym when on the road. You brought it with you."

The XBAR team chose the KickStarter platform to raise money to finish a few engineering details and launch the marketing campaign.

At the beginning level, contributors will be listed on the contributors page and get regular updates. At the $150 level, contributors will get the XBAR and all the accessories. At the top contribution level, $2,500, contributors get the XBAR and all the accessories and get to bring a friend for a day of snowboarding with Damian Sanders & Co. in the Big Bend area. Travel not included.

Coral Gables, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/10/2012 -- Gailen David, purser with American Airlines for 24 years, may be facing termination after posting two controversial video parodies on YouTube. The videos, entitled "American Airlines Asks Flight Attendants for Help" and "Aluminum Lady," satirized the management prowess of the C-level execs at the said company. The first featured David in a generic airline executive costume reading an actual letter released by Lauri Curtis, American Airlines' Vice President of Onboard Service, while the second was loosely based on the corporate leader of the AA flight attendants and was inspired by the Hollywood movie "Iron Lady."

After working on the inside at the Dallas/Ft. Worth headquarters of one of America's largest airlines and witnessing years of mismanagement, David said that the only thing he could do was express himself, using the talents he possessed, through these videos. Before long, the videos had become instant hits. However, they soon turned from popular to controversial when American Airlines headquarters, through David's supervisor, called him and asked him to remove the videos. He was also asked to attend an investigatory meeting that, he was informed, may result in his dismissal.

Since the videos began airing on YouTube, thousands of frequent flyers, airline employees, and even public figures such as Ben Stein have expressed their support for the workers of the airline, many of whom are facing layoffs following the airlines' Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing. Several YouTube viewers have also expressed support for David as well as indignation after news spread that American Airlines had attempted to have the videos removed.

After years of creating customer service programs for American Airlines and even writing a book on the topic entitled "Jetiquette – The Customer Experience and You", Gailen David became known as The Sky Steward. He has also offers travel tips on a variety of TV morning shows and on his own blog, www.DearSkySteward.com. Despite his other accomplishments, David says that his intention was always to return to American Airlines to do what he loves, which is to travel and to make a positive impact on the travel experiences of others. This, however, is being endangered by the latest occurrences at American Airlines, which threaten to result in not only the job loss of many of his colleagues but also the company's eventual demise. 

As of press time, David has refused to remove the videos and has now decided to invite the public on a real-time journey as he stands up for what is right, whether or not it costs him his job.
