In a recent personal training session, Professional Fitness Trainer Tonya Gutch challenged Rebecca Wight on the UFO (Unidentified Fitness Object)—one of many “apps” (i.e., attachments) to use on our Precor® Queenax™. The UFO is a suspended platform designed to enhance motor control, balance, rhythm, body awareness, mental engagement and strength.
