The worlds greatest butterfly press machine, and universal gym.
The Monarch Home Fitness System consists of a seat, two ingeniously designed butterfly press machines, and interchangeable attachments which allow them to be used separately for upper torso development, or easily attached together utilizing our quick latch system, for a full body workout, including those dreaded abs! The Monarch Home Fitness System is a complete home gym that fits into a duffel bag! How convenient is that? The push toward greener/ cleaner technologies is unprecedented, the Monarch Home Fitness Systems size and weight, or lack thereof, fits the bill, and can allow you to utilize the conservationist approach to selling this machine! 2006 sales figures for U.S. fitness equipment manufacturers reached approximately 4.7 BILLION dollars!(*1)
Lets look at the current marketplace and how the Monarch Home Fitness System fits into the picture.
First off, today’s consumer is much different than the consumer of just one year ago. Today’s consumer
is more environmentally conscious, has less expendable capitol, and requires smaller, portable
equipment to fit into tighter schedules, and budgets. With gas prices soaring into unrealistic territory,
today’s consumer is less likely to opt for an expensive gym membership, or high shipping costs, and
more likely to purchase a cost effective home fitness system.
The Monarch Home Fitness System can be touted as environmentally friendly, as its footprint per unit in raw materials, and energy consumption are reduced due to simple design, and a minimal amount of
manufacturing processes compared to systems which do anything remotely close! Keeping this device
extremely simple, and earth friendly could be a key selling feature all in it’s own!
With higher gas prices here to stay, many Americans are adapting to the drastic increase in cost for
travel by cutting out non-essential travel and expenses, and looking to smaller, more economic
solutions which can be implemented at home. With space being at a premium in the modern household, few consumers can afford or facilitate large universal gyms. The Monarch Home Fitness System is so light weight, and compact, it can be disassembled and stored in a carrying tote in a closet, under the bed, or even hung on the back of a door! The Monarch can be pulled out in a minutes notice, easily assembled, using it’s quick latch system of attachments, and the user can begin working out in under a minute!
The health kick in America is alive and well, as a significant part of the green movement. Soon to be,
records of numbers of the baby boomer generation are going to retire. These are some of the greatest
innovators in the history of the world. Innovative, new equipment has an appeal to them, and once
again, the problems of space, weight, and functionality are all solved by the Monarch Home Fitness System.
