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.
