About

For the Ones Who Don’t Miss a Beat.

Media Towel blends functional design with modern performance, a smarter way to train, create, and connect through every rep and routine.

Built from the Ground Up

What started as one idea in a garage is now part of a greater purpose.
Under Pivot Product Designs, founder Michael McGowan is creating products that merge performance with intention, built for those who train hard, think smart, and lift others along the way.
Media Towel is where it begins.

Made for the Modern Athlete

We live in an era where training and technology move together.
Between recording progress, streaming workouts, and tracking performance, today’s athlete needs gear that keeps up.

That’s why we built Media Towel a smarter essential for modern training.

  • Four embedded magnets let you hang or wrap it anywhere, racks, walls, or metal bars.
  • A built-in media slot keeps your phone or tablet secure for watching, recording, or tracking hands-free.
  • Dual-layer microfiber dries fast, resists odors, and feels premium from warm-up to cool-down.

It’s not just about convenience, it’s about focus.
Train smarter. Move freer.

Innovation with Purpose

Media Towel is the first innovation from Pivot Product Designs, a creative studio built to merge design, function, and meaning.
Our goal is simple, solve everyday frustrations through thoughtful innovation while making a difference where it matters most.

Every product we create reflects that purpose:
to build smarter tools that inspire performance and empower communities.

Because progress isn’t just about what we make, it’s about who we uplift along the way.

The Founder and Team

Media Towel began with one idea and one person who refused to settle.
Michael McGowan, founder of Pivot Product Designs, saw an opportunity to design fitness gear that actually worked for the modern athlete, cleaner, smarter, and more intentional.

“I just want to make sure I give back the same way I grew up, to the same people who struggled.”
— Michael McGowan, Founder

That belief became our foundation.
Today, a small team of designers, athletes, and creators stand behind Michael’s mission, to work hard, think smart, and support one another while building products that elevate every rep and every life they touch.
