The team at PELOTON Magazine came to visit GU Headquarters in Berkeley to learn about the origins of our first Energy Gel. The crew got an all-access tour of our production facility where we manufacture all of our Energy Gels, and they sat down with our Co-Founder and Chief Endurance Officer Brian Vaughan to learn where the idea for the Energy Gel was born.
