LIFE FITNESS™: Americans were in a poor state of health during the middle of the twentieth century and a change was necessary in order to better the health of our society. That change began to occur during the later half of the 1960s. As people started becoming aware of the true and tangible health benefits associated with maintaining an established, comprehensive fitness regimen, more people started working out. Fitness programs blossomed and those who stayed loyal to them reaped the physical and mental rewards that came from exercising. While physical fitness based exercise programs sprouted across the nation, the development of cardiovascular training equipment would bloom along side.

In 1968, an intellectual idealist by the name of Dr. Keene P. Dimick was determined to contribute to the betterment of his nations health which led to his design of a structurally sound, comfortable, stationary exercise bike. Exercising and elevating your pulse for at least 30 minutes a day is a great way to trim off fat and build lean muscle and exercise bikes are the perfect tool for such activity. Stationary fitness cycles make it very easy for the average American to exercise and stay in shape without having to leave the comfort of their home. After all, regular exercise is not only optimal, but absolutely necessary, in order to stay in good health and maintain a solid physique. Dr. Dimick’s dream of creating a benevolent exercise bike was realized through his invention of the Life Fitness Life Cycle. Shortly after its creation, this bio-mechanically correct and structurally sound stationary bike became an industry wide favorite.
