NuStep Names Natalie Buchoz as a Brand Ambassador and Inclusive Fitness Board Member

ANN ARBOR, MICH. – April 29, 2014 – NuStep, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of inclusive recumbent cross trainers, is pleased to announce that Natalie Buchoz, a student and athlete at the University of Southern California (USC), will serve as a NuStep Brand Ambassador and member of the company’s Inclusive Fitness Board.

Buchoz, of Huntington Beach, Calif., suffered a spinal cord injury in a skiing accident in 2007. The 15-year-old high school athlete was paralyzed from the waist down and told she’d need 24-hour care for the rest of her life. Buchoz refused to accept that prognosis and within three months was undergoing intensive exercise-based therapy that included the NuStep.

Now a junior at USC studying public relations, Buchoz uses the NuStep daily to maintain her strength and fitness level.

“When I found NuStep, I got a piece of my independence back,” Buchoz says. “I am able to use the NuStep independently and use my entire body. I look forward to the day when all gyms have NuSteps.”

NuStep Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Steve Sarns said, “Natalie’s strength and determination to rise above her injury and not let it define her life is truly inspiring. Her goal to advocate for inclusive fitness as a way to help others shows her character and we’re so fortunate to have her join us.”
