During Gene's time as a competitive figure skater, he learned a lot about how to use your body to stay in shape, without the use of gyms and equipment.

Gene is a huge proponent of using calisthenics to keep your body healthy, not only physically but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.  He helps others to do this now through yoga instruction and coaching skating.
