Success Story: CrossFit Courageous and Hunter Industrial

At Knoxville-based CrossFit Courageous, every aspect of the gym experience reflects the passion and dedication of its owners, Zach and Kate Quayle. Their commitment to excellence isn’t just evident in the challenging workouts they design or the personal goals they help members achieve; it’s woven into the very fabric of their business operations. For Zach and Kate, details matter. Every decision they make, from equipment choices to facility upgrades, is carefully considered to ensure it aligns with their long-term vision. Hunter Industrial is proud to be a key partner of their success through the addition of HVLS and air circulator fans. Sweating the Details In the highly competitive world of fitness, standing out requires more than just offering tough workouts. It demands a deep understanding of what your members need and a commitment to delivering it consistently. Zach and Kate Quayle embody this principle, ensuring that every detail at CrossFit Courageous contributes to the overall member experience and the gym’s success. From the layout of the gym to the selection of equipment, the Quayles have meticulously crafted an environment that supports their members' fitness journeys. This attention to detail extends to the air quality and comfort within the gym—a factor that plays a crucial role in the performance and well-being of athletes, especially during high-intensity workouts. HVLS: A Key Partner in Creating a Superior Workout Environment Recognizing the importance of effective air circulation in maintaining a comfortable and healthy workout environment, Zach and Kate sought out the best solutions available. This is why they were excited to enhance their facility with fans from Hunter, whose products offered the perfect blend of performance, durability, and aesthetic appeal. To make good on the promise of supporting member health and well-being, the 24' DDI HVLS fan provides significant air movement throughout the gym, creating a cooling effect that enhances comfort while maintaining a consistent temperature. This is particularly important in a high-intensity workout setting, where athletes are pushing their limits and generating substantial body heat. The fan’s quiet operation ensures that it doesn’t disrupt the focus and stimulus of the workouts, while its sleek design complements the gym’s modern aesthetic. It’s also a key component to cutting down on operating costs, where running the AC would be drastically cost-prohibitive with open garage doors. “With only a few weeks of use, we’ve already noticed a decrease in our bill, which is a huge reprieve during the most expensive time of the year,” says Kate. The 42" Hunter Air Circulator Drum Fan, known for its high-velocity air movement, adds another layer of comfort, particularly in areas where targeted cooling is needed. Whether it’s for post-workout recovery or adding extra air circulation during peak hours, this fan delivers powerful performance without compromising on energy efficiency. “In our warehouse space, with only one garage door and no other open windows, airflow is limited. Our members love laying in front of the Drum Fan after a tough workout for a refreshing breeze,” Zach says. Hunter Industrial: A Strategic Partnership for Long-Term Success For the Quayles, installing Hunter Industrial fans was more than just a decision about air circulation; it was a strategic move that aligns with their long-term goals for CrossFit Courageous. The durability and efficiency of Hunter Industrial’s products mean lower operational costs and minimal maintenance, allowing the Quayles to focus on what matters most—supporting their members and growing their business. As CrossFit Courageous continues to thrive, Zach and Kate remain focused on their vision for the future. With the support of partners like Hunter Industrial, they are confident in their ability to provide a top-tier fitness experience for their members while maintaining the operational efficiency that drives their success. “Our 150 members demand high-quality equipment to support their workouts. Hunter Industrial shares our principles of toughness and strength, and their products look as good as they perform,” says Zach. “I can’t recommend their fans highly enough.” Enhance your gym's environment with airflow solutions from Hunter Industrial.
