Visitors to the Butler YMCA get a lesson in using the new Queenax Functional Training Rig.

One of the Butler YMCA's newest pieces of equipment brings a whole new meaning to full-body workout.

“As soon as you touch anything on the rig, any of the pieces of equipment, your core engages,” said Sandy Ihlenfeld, executive director of the Butler YMCA. “All of your muscles tighten up and they become active.”

On Friday, Ihlenfeld oversaw some of the gym's trainers as they worked with members to try out the Queenax Functional Training Rig.

The rig looks is a rectangular box with pegs and holes along its thick, metal frame. There are also a set of bi-level climbing bars that run along the length of the top portion.
