4 Meet the Founder: After enduring the rigors of a Division 1 collegiate basketball career, Ari Zandman-Zeman followed his dreams by joining the U.S Peace Corps, where he was posted in Union Island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Eastern Caribbean. Restless energy and the necessity of finding a dynamic strength-training program that was practical for working abroad in a developing nation were the driving forces behind the creation of Rubberbanditz. Ari quickly realized that the bands provided a functional training system, with the added bonus of utilizing inexpensive available resources. Ari is a mixed-medium exercise enthusiast and a certified personal trainer. He is a native Alaskan who enjoys working out with rubber bands in out-of-the-ordinary places and believes wholeheartedly that fitness, flexibility, and fun are the keys to a long, healthy life. Social Outreach Here at Rubberbanditz, one of our main goals is to promote personal health and fitness however and wherever we can, whether it is in Africa or in the neighborhood park. Through our community outreach projects, we encourage inclusion, accessibility and enthusiasm for exercise. We use our bands, bodies, and minds to break down barriers to fitness through group-facilitated training sessions and by supporting like-minded organizations. Here s what we do and who we do it with: Carolina for Kibera CFK is based in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya. Its mission is to promote youth leadership and ethnic and gender cooperation in Kibera through sports, female empowerment, and community development. This August, Rubberbanditz will train eight young men and eight young women to be Rubberbanditz Certified Personal Trainers. After providing one year of financial support, the new trainers will have the opportunity to parlay their training into actual careers and create a healthy ripple effect in their communities.

6 Going Green: At Rubberbanditz, we are always figuring out new ways to promote a green product and a green working environment. Being a quadruple bottom line business is about placing people, planet, profit and power on an equal footing. Here is a bit about what we do: Our Product: Downloadable Exercise Menu All customers get the option of downloading the exercise manual instead of receiving the print booklet. Customers are given the incentive of a 5% discount of their purchase to do so. Minimal Material By having detachable grips and straps, it both minimizes the amount of equipment you need and gives you more options in your workout routines. Not to mention, the bands are all you need for a great workout. No bulky machines of weights necessary! No Gym Commute The mobile gym package is designed for you to use it anywhere. Home, work, on the river. There s no gym required, so no commute required either! Our Company: The Scrap Exchange All returned bands are donated to The Scrap Exchange and reused for arts and crafts projects. Marketing We focus most of our efforts on Internet marketing instead of print marketing. That way we can reach you without having to kill any trees! Minimal Commuting We encourage working remotely, and when we do come in to the office, it s normally a commute via bicycle!

7 Recycling All the boxes our products arrive in are reused for repackaging or are recycled. Community Office We operate out of Bull City Forward. We save energy and space by sharing an office with other local social enterprises.
