It’s true: Queenax, a global leader and pioneer in the functional training space, is now a Precor brand! We couldn’t be more excited about this acquisition by our parent company, Amer Sports.

While Queenax makes an incredible addition to the Precor portfolio, there’s no doubt that offering a Queenax system could also make an incredible addition to your fitness facility. If you’re unfamiliar with modular functional training systems, they transform a section of your gym into a multi-purpose, highly-customizable training area.

But that’s just the beginning. Here are five shout-it-from-the-rooftop – er, gym floor – reasons to offer a Queenax functional training system to your members.

1. Functional training isn’t just a trend.

In fact, it just keeps growing and growing within the commercial fitness industry as exercisers demand versatile training options, like performing “real-life activities in real-life positions.”Functional training was recently named by the ACSM Journal as one of the fastest growing activities across a variety of fitness facilities.

With Queenax, making the movements of everyday living is easy. Think of an epic jungle-gym for adults, where you’re mimicking the same motions you would execute when climbing stairs or bending over in the garden. The amount of exercises are almost limitless, which brings us to…

2. Queenax is space-efficient and highly versatile.

Whether your fitness facility has plenty of available floor space or hardly any at all, there’s a Queenax solution for you.

Each streamlined system can be configured in a variety of ways. This allows gym owners and operators the ability to maximize that ever-valuable gym floor space – all without interfering with traditional gym activities that exercisers have come to count on as part of their fitness routine.

3. Queenax will help your trainers get more clients.

Speaking of versatility, optional equipment like suspension training apparatuses can be added to the system. Personal trainers will love the personalization this provides for their clients, and small group classes add another possible secondary revenue option. Just check out the video above for a sneak peek at some of the endless creative possibilities.

4. Queenax can fight member boredom.

We’ve already talked about how functional strength training helps exercisers mimic real-life movements – lifting, pushing, pulling, bending, etc. – making these everyday movements easier to perform.

But maybe most importantly, you hear exercisers use the word “fun” a lot when referencing these functional training systems. What else offers accessibility for all fitness levels and such an enormous range of exercises?

5. Enough words. It’s time to look at the beautiful pictures.
