Jon Gregory is a high-frequency trader, physicist and father of three from Perth, West Australia. Jon is an expert who writes algorithms for financial markets. In his downtime he trained weights. While doing so, he developed an algorithm on weight training which has led to the creation of the ultimate smart exercise device, the V FORM Trainer from Vitruvian FORM.

In this episode of the Human Potential Podcast Jon Gregory talks with our host, Oliver Freer, about how Jon came up with the idea for Vitruvian FORM; the technology behind it and what it does; the challenges of developing and creating a physical product and the importance of resistance training, particularly for the over 35’s to reverse aging-induced loss of muscle mass and to prevent injuries.

More about Jon Gregory and Vitruvian FORM

Jon decided to get into the fitness space because he saw an opportunity to combine hardware and elements of the software that he had spent years developing in his role in the financial markets developing specialised algorithms. Jon has used his unique skill set to solve problems and create a solution that is more effective and so less time consuming for busy people.

The V FORM Trainer works with an algorithm that knows your strength and automatically adapts to it. This way it challenges you to always do your best and makes you work harder and more efficient while working out for a shorter term.

Jon has overcome challenges to get his product to where it is today. Jon tells the story of one of his first demonstrations that did not go quite as planned. Now, having overcome early stage production challenges, the next phase is to launch Vitruvian FORM internationally.
