FunXtion makes fitness as integral to life as brushing your teeth

Activity needs to be integral to life, not an interruption to it. This means creating training environments where people spend most of their time – at home and at work
– Mendel Witzenhausen, FunXtion co-founder

FunXtion delivers a complete, wrap-around exercise experience. Utilising the very latest in digital technology, FunXtion enables the delivery of quality fitness content to members anytime, anywhere.

Mendel Witzenhausen, FunXtion co-founder, said: “If we are to get more of the western world moving, activity needs to be integral to life, not an interruption to it. This means creating training environments where people spend most of their time – at home and at work."

"We are on the edge of an exciting new evolution, where technology drives the accessibility of training services, making it possible for fitness to become as much a part of daily life as brushing your teeth.”

FunXtion has created inclub, interactive experience solutions which deliver bespoke, guided virtual classes, workouts, and exercises directly to the gym floor. This is supported by a mobile app which enables on-the-go access to beautifully choreographed and presented workouts and individual exercises, extending the operator’s engagement capabilities to daily life, encouraging an active lifestyle which extends beyond the physical boundaries of a facility.

Mendel, adds: “This trend towards enabling people to live, work and train under one roof is supported by technology which makes it possible to stream outstanding content and support anytime, anywhere. People want fingertip access to training advice and programming that extends way beyond club visiting hours. This is the future of fitness.”

Operating an open platform, FunXtion offers a variety of integration possibilities.
