Over the last year a rigid nationwide survey of specialty fitness dealers was conducted by Quantum's owners, engineers and sales managers, to understand their needs and future market trends. Although the surveys varied from region to region, several strong trends were consistent. Most prominent on the lists were: diversifying retail markets by increasing vertical and commercial market product sales; consolidation of vendors; better margins and increased payment terms; and competitive freight programs. In addition there was a significant request for innovative, niche, patented, aesthetically pleasing product lines to compete against the direct sales force of the large health and fitness manufacturers.

A troubling trend among these large fitness manufactures which has emerged is directly excluding the specialty dealer out of many viable and profitable markets to sell in. Quantum Fitness has developed two new visually enhanced high end commercial strength lines and new cardio products for both the retail and commercial markets (the fitness club industry). To help create new markets for the commercial side of the specialty fitness dealer, a new medical elliptical stride and medical treadmill model are among the products for 2008 featured at the Health and Fitness Business Show held in Denver Aug 2-4. Furthermore, with the highly succesful QUICK series hydraulic line for adults and kids, there is no other company that offers so much unlimited diversity for the specialty health and fitness dealer.

What creates the specialty fitness advantage?

Patented mid-drive stride class elliptical - Offering 3 models for the home, vertical and medical markets, plus our unique patented ellipticals, we will create new sales and hold profit margins for years to come. Perfect 21" natural stride motion and special bio-mechanisms are the most advanced design to create machines that fit the body like a glove. Low step height, compact foot print and easy entry are just a few our un-challenged features.

2008 Q series treadmills - More horsepower, more steel and more options is the theme of the '08 models. All '08 models will feature standard 3hp to 4hp motors and all units will come standard with 15% elevation grade.
