IM=X® is excited to announce seven NEW formats for the IM=X® Platform. As the IM=X® Business Model has grown to include larger class capacities, the IM=X® team found it necessary to provide some format options that allow for the Platforms to be set up on an Xercizer before class begins, eliminating the need for clients to configure their own Platform. Founder and Creator Elyse McNergney created these new formats which allow classes to begin with an IM=X® Barre, Tower or Mat variety and then transition onto a Platform that is ready and waiting! These new formats are now available for IM=X® franchise owners to download from the Franchisee Portal, and have also been added to the IM=X® Platform certification manual.
The Benefits of the IM=X® Platform: The IM=X® Platform is large for a reason! Most reformers offer platforms that are only 4.5 inches wide, not nearly large enough to accommodate the size of an average foot in external rotation, thus limiting the variety and effectiveness of the workouts. The IM=X® Platform, by comparison, is 13 inches wide, and designed for people of all sizes and weights. By having a larger surface area clients can place their feet in external rotation and pull the carriage all the way in for a strong inner thigh burn!
The simple yet challenging IM=X® Platform routines are easy to learn and share with Advanced clients! The sequences demand a lot of core stabilization as the core and legs have to pull the heavy carriage in and out. The IM=X® Platform workouts are the only time in IM=X® that you’ll see a surface of instability while standing — thus challenging to the core stabilization system in a different but complementary manner. Simple sequences build into fatiguing routines such as the abduction/adduction using the ring in parallel and external rotation which then progresses into adding hand weights.
IM=X® clients will love the variety of these new standing routines!
