Escape Fitness’ FunXtion Interactive Platform debuts at The Cliffs at Mountain Park Wellness Center

The first Escape Fitness FunXtion Interactive Platform installed in the U.S. is debuting with the opening of The Cliffs at Mountain Park Wellness Center--making functional training safe, effective, accessible and motivational for exercisers of all skill levels.

Located within The Village at Mountain Park, this innovative new wellness facility offers members modern, movement-focused workout solutions and cutting-edge technology such as the Escape Fitness FunXtion Interactive Platform.

Making use of technology, intelligence and gamification through a touchscreen interactive station, app, website and wristband, FunXtion lets members customize their own workouts via a virtual trainer, learn any fitness movement and record their performance, plus get the full overview of their exercise activities with individual exercises; workout regimens designed to achieve their specified goals; video demonstrations; stopwatch, countdown, interval and tabata timers; statistics tracking and more.

In addition to the Escape Fitness FunXtion Interactive Platform, and at the heart of the colorful energetic fitness space is the Escape Fitness Octagon, the revolutionary indoor functional frame which incorporates 12 different functional training stations that work in tandem to offer the ultimate full body workout, utilizing tools such as monkey bars, suspension trainers, adjustable hurdles, an agility ladder, battle ropes, kettlebells, medicine balls, sand bags and more to help build strength and agility.

“It’s fitting that FunXtion’s first availability in the United States is at The Cliff’s newest wellness center as it is renowned for its dedication to health and wellness,” said Matthew Januszek, co-founder, Escape Fitness. “Like Escape, The Cliffs is focused on enjoyable, innovative wellness solutions that help people push beyond their perceived boundaries to perform better in their daily lives.”

“This is a departure from anything else available at The Cliffs’ Wellness Centers. It’s engaging, intuitive and functional, and the workout possibilities are only limited to your imagination,” said Ryan Kamszik, The Cliffs at Mountain Park Wellness Manager. “It’s a creative, fun way to train, and our hope is that it sparks motivation for our members to achieve their fitness goals, and reinvigorates excitement over what the body can do, while making it easier than ever to live a balanced, active lifestyle, on their own schedule.”

The Wellness Center will also include the Cardio Classroom for intimate group class experiences, plus will offer traditional gym equipment including free weights, pulleys and resistance cables, as well as high-tech cardiovascular equipment and more.

“Wellness has been an integral part of The Cliffs since its founding, and never has this been more true than today,” said David Sawyer, President, The Cliffs Clubs. “Life here is centered around finding ways to stay active both outdoors and indoors. Our members are health-conscious, energetic individuals and we are thrilled to offer another state-of-the-art place to stay fit and continue our tradition of being one of the most innovative communities for health and wellness in the U.S.”
