The Inventor

Michael Kontos is a Greek-born inventor and entrepreneur with a passion for mechanics, physics, and engineering technology. From a young age, he demonstrated a keen interest in these fields, pursuing studies in mechanics and engineering in Athens, Greece. At just 16 years old, he played soccer for Olympiakos FC successfully advancing from the youth team to the men's Semi-Pro team.

In the late 1980s, Michael moved to the United States in search of a better future. He gradually gained recognition in the construction industry, where some of his innovative inventions became well known. Despite his success in construction, Michael never lost sight of his dedication to fitness and body exercises. Drawing inspiration from his background as a professional soccer player, he embraced the Ancient Greek philosophy of Thales of Miletus: "Healthy Body comes first from a Healthy Soul."

This philosophy inspired the creation of the Atlas Neck & Face Toner, a device designed to strengthen one of the most overlooked parts of the body, the neck. Michael believes that a strong neck supports the head, which is crucial for overall performance and well-being. When the head is steady and well supported by a strong neck, it functions more effectively.

With the Atlas Neck & Neck Toner, Michael aims to change the perception of neck workouts and highlight the importance of this often neglected area of the body. He is committed to helping the people achieve greater strength and support for their heads, fostering a holistic approach to health and fitness.
