Krank Express – Small Group Training

Kranking® Express is one of the five ways you can implement the Johnny G Krankcycle® by Matrix into your facility. Kranking Express is done in a small group setting by utilizing Krankcycles on the main cardio floor – making it visible, extremely accessible, and a fun, effective way to train in just 20 minutes.

Express doesn’t need a studio and can be completed with or without music. With just a few Krankcycles on the floor, you can challenge your members while increasing your bottom line. Using the Krank Express format, Body Business in Austin, TX generated an additional $20,000 in revenue over a six-month period!

During each 20-minute Kranking Express session the upper body goes through thousands of repetitions, translating into improved strength, definition, and weight loss. Many have commented about improved upper body definition without the need for lifting traditional weights.

The Krankcycle is so versatile, it will help retain clients, attract new clients, and increase the overall profitability of any personal training program. Give Kranking Express a try!

Matrix G7 Rep Counter Service Mode: The Hidden Function

Did you know that the G7 rep counter has a service mode to retrieve total hours of use and cumulative repetitions? In addition to counting reps and activity time for each user, the rep counter can display total hours of use and cumulative repetition when accessed with a common magnet.

The total use and cumulative repetition data can be helpful in determining maintenance schedules and gathering an accurate picture of machine use. By comparing all data, owners can verify the percentages of use per each unit and use it for future purchasing decisions or establishing facility maintenance schedules.

To activate this function, place a magnet just below and to the right of the counter [there is a small dot on the placard]. Once activated, the counter will automatically cycle through the data. For more information, click here.

Virtual Active™ Feature Destination - Italian Alps

Where would you like to go today? With Virtual Active™ by Matrix, users have the chance to escape to exotic locales, including the Italian Alps, our feature destination for this month.

Virtual Active takes users on a tour of the area around Timmelsjoch; a mountain pass in Italy’s Öztal Alps on the border of Austria. The road to Timmelsjoch was built to accommodate tourists while seamlessly blending into the landscape. Adventurers in the early Bronze Age were attracted to the area due to the prevalence of copper ore. Marble, semi-precious stones, and oil shale have also been found in the area. Timmelsjoch is often referred to as the ‘secret passage’ because it is used less heavily than other mountain passes nearby.

Virtual Active by Matrix is fully interactive video programming compatible with all existing and new 7xe series Matrix cardio products.
