Life Fitness Equipment
Life Fitness Equipment is a world wide manufacturer of commercial and home fitness equipment. The company's very first product, the Lifecycle exercise bike, was the first-ever electronic piece of exercise equipment.
The Life Fitness Academy is made up of fitness professionals and a medical advisory board that helps to study the science and medicine of exercise and promote specific training programs. The company, which originated in the early 1970s, was acquired by the Brunswick Corporation in the 1990s, and now makes more than 300 different cardio and strength-training products. These include exercise bikes, recumbent bikes, treadmills, elliptical machines, stair climbers, home gyms, and various types of weight and strength training equipment.
Because Life Fitness started out manufacturing exercise bikes, the company is still highly regarded in that area. The C9i exercise bike is a popular interactive model as it helps you stay in your target heart rate zone during various workout programs by using the digital contact hand sensors and a heart rate monitoring system. The upright bike also comes with 19 workout programs for variety, a console display with a built-in reading rack, and an alternator-driven resistance system that has 20 resistance levels. The bike sells for about $2,500 and its welded steel frame is guaranteed for life. The C9i has an electronic console which shows you time elapsed, distance traveled, your speed, your heart rate and the approximate amount of calories you've burned.
Life Fitness has a company website where you can order their products online. The site also has online health articles, technical support and owner's manuals along with brochures and product registration.
