IT’S TIME FOR YOUR GYM TO GET SERIOUS

Iron Edge takes a pragmatic attitude to training. Do it properly and you’ll get results.

And we should know. Because we work with Australia’s best teams, athletes and coaches from the Defence Forces, AFL and NRL clubs, the AIS, Cricket Australia and countless CrossFit boxes.

The knowledge gained from working with the best has driven the development of the STZ system. It’s about training like the pros and getting useful, functional strength. We call it ‘Serious Training’.

Serious Training is based on 5 simple rules:• Train the primal movement patterns• Vary the implements and intensity• Resistance must be 3-dimensional • Train frequently• Incorporate prehab and rehab protocols

An STZ is about providing your PTs and members with the tools to train seriously. And if they do that, we guarantee they’ll see results.

THE TRAINING SYSTEM THAT WORKS

Deciding how to fit out a gym space isn’t easy. Which is why we do it for you.

Got 50m2? Or maybe an entire 1000m2 gym? It doesn’t matter. With an STZ you decide what floor area you have and we tailor the fitout accordingly.

And it doesn’t end there. You might like the idea of running Interval Group Training in your STZ. Or setting up a PT zone. Or running CrossFit sessions. No problem. We’ll design the space to accommodate it.

ModularThe beauty of an STZ is that it can grow. Trial a modest space. Experience the results. Then extend. STZ equipment, storage racks and flooring link seamlessly meaning your zone can expand and always look like an integrated unit.

CUSTOM FITTED

An STZ is unlike anything you have seen before. Aqua bags (pictured), Slosh Balls, Dead Balls, Power Ropes, Torsonators, Bulgarian Bags, Matrix Frames, kettlebells, chinning stations, suspension training, monkey bars, sand bags, foam rollers and more. It’s about providing varied implements and the crucial 3-dimensional resistance integral to functional training.

With an STZ you’ll be introducing literally thousands of new exercises to your gym floor. Your members will be invigorated with their new training options. As will your PTs who’ll be able to run specific training sessions that target all the major components of fitness:• Strength• Cardio• Endurance• Power• Flexibility/Mobility

THE GEAR

The fitness world is very excited about Small Group Training (SGT). And it’s easy to see why. SGT provides gym members with the personal attention and results that a PT session offers, without the large expense of a one-on-one session.

With an STZ you can introduce SGT to your gym very easily. The key is the layout. An STZ is basically a multi- station circuit area complete with interval timer.

Even the smallest STZ will handle a group session of 10 people. But larger STZs (200m2+) can run multiple groups with potential to cater for up to 60 people simultaneously.

The benefits are clear. Gym owners and PTs receive a new revenue stream. Whilst members get to build friendships, improve the gym culture and start experiencing the results a serious PT session provides.

SMALL GROUP TRAINING (SGT)

Trainers are the public face of your gym. They influence gym culture and play a huge role ensuring member satisfaction. The better they are, the better the gym.

By installing an STZ you’ll attract high quality trainers to your gym. You’ll also improve your existing ones. Because STZ equipment enables trainers to train their clients more effectively.

The typical commercial gym is full of equipment requiring very little instruction. Members can press out reps on pin loaded machines without any assistance. An STZ is not like this. The equipment requires technique and education. Members will seek assistance giving trainers an opportunity to establish training relationships and provide useful instruction.

For a good trainer it’s the opportunity to shine. Previously disillusioned trainers will be drawn back to commercial gyms and those already there will be motivated to improve their functional training knowledge. If they don’t, they risk irrelevance.

ATTRACT QUALITY TRAINERS

Investing in an STZ is easy with Iron Edge Finance available through Flexi-Commercial. From as little as $253pw over 24 months ($177 after tax deduction) you can fit out a 100m2 space.

• Finance is offered via ‘lease plans’ as opposed to ‘loans’. Leases range from 2 – 6 years and are a fully tax deductible operating expense for your business. At the end of the lease period you can either opt to keep the equipment or turn it over for brand new equipment and continue your lease plan.

• Set monthly payments with no hidden costs make budgeting easy. Simply calculate your options up-front with the Flexi Calculator and avoid the usual haggling process associated with other finance companies.

• With no down payments required you can commence your finance without the burden of a huge up-front payment. This preserves your liquidity and ensures you hit the ground running.

• No assets required to secure the lease.

ApplicationJust let us know that you are interested in financing your STZ purchase and we’ll send your quote and contact details direct to FlexiCommerical. You’ll then be contacted to complete the application over the phone. It takes just 10 minutes.

Not only will an STZ revolutionise the way your members train, it also makes perfect financial sense.

Member RetentionPerhaps the best reason of all. We are certain that your members will achieve their goals training seriously in an STZ. And satisfied members stay put giving you long term business and an unpaid sales force.

Increased YieldAn STZ provides an opportunity to charge existing members a premium through the provision of SGT.

Member Engagement STZ will appeal to all of your members. The training is new, it’s fun and it works. Through SGT and PT there’s opportunity for members to forge better relationships with other members and the trainers. That means more motivation and a vibrant gym culture.
