EXERCISE BIKESStationary exercise bikes have been around for centuries. The Gymnasticon was created by Francis Lowndes at the end of the 18th century and this aerobic machine resembled an exercise bike. Upright and recumbent exercise bikes are similar to traditional bicycles. The main differences between stationary exercise bikes and normal bicycles is that stationary bikes do not have the same wheels as bicycles and stationary bikes are not used for transportation. Both kinds of bikes have handlebars, a seat and pedals. At the end of the day, exercise bikes are solid tools for building endurance, losing weight and daily exercise. Simple yet effective, exercise bikes have been a staple in the fitness equipment industry for as long as one can remember. Stationary bikes are awesome tools for cardiovascular training and are much easier on the body than running on a treadmill or running outside.

Recumbent bikes and upright bikes are the two different types of exercise cycles. Recumbent exercise bikes have a seat back that resembles a desk chair. The user can recline with the comfort of back support. On an upright bicycle, riders cannot support their weight by reclining; their entire weight rests on the seat, pedals and handlebars. Many people believe that riding on an upright bike is more difficult than riding on a recumbent bike and that having back support makes recumbent bikes much more comfortable than upright bikes.

Many people do not like having home fitness equipment because they do not have room, or it is too much of an eyesore. Exercise bikes are simple and compact. Recumbent and upright stationary bikes do not take up a large amount of space like treadmills, elliptical, home gyms and other bulky pieces of gym equipment. Aesthetically speaking, exercise bikes are easier on the eye than other forms of gym equipment. The cosmetics of an exercise bike seem to blend with a room better than a big multi-station gym, or elliptical trainer.

Due to the fact that bikes are smaller and more compact than other forms of gym equipment, there is less to go wrong on an exercise bike, than there is on an elliptical machine or treadmill. Under the hood of an exercise bike one will typically find a belt, pedal wheel, flywheel, motor, a wire connecting the motor to strip magnets, a spring and a couple of other gadgets. If we were to list all of the parts in a treadmill or an elliptical, it would take several hours! Less is more when it comes to fitness equipment parts. The fewer the parts, the less likely it is that something will go wrong.

Evidenced by the fact that there are many Life Fitness “Life Cycles” that were manufactured decades ago, that are still in great condition, and being used by people all over the world, the LF 9500 is one of best exercise bikes on the planet. For example, the Life Fitness 9500HR Upright LifeCycle has been a mainstay in health clubs and fitness centers since the early 1990s. With a smooth and quiet belt-drive system, users can pedal all day long on this virtually flawless and maintenance free exercise bike. Ask a friend. Talk to a neighbor. Go to your local health club or fitness center and talk to a fitness expert. Anyone and everyone will tell you that this LF LifeCycle is a great piece of gym equipment. Whether you are a beginner, expert, or just buying this bicycle for a friend or loved one, you will be astonished with how user-friendly this awesome stationary bike is. Life Fitness has built their outstanding reputation around manufacturing bikes with supreme quality and comfort such as this 9500HRT.

LIFE FITNESS™ GYM EQUIPMENT

In 1968, Dr. Keene P. Dimick had a dream to design a structurally sound, comfortable, stationary exercise bike, which could be used inside, for people who wanted to stay in shape, through regular exercise in the comfort of their own home. Around this time of the late 1960s, people started waking up to the fact t that regular exercise is not only optimal, but absolutely necessary, in order to stay in good health.  Dr. Dimick’s dream was realized through his invention of the Life Cycle, which would be the cornerstone of a new franchise, which would be an industry leader, for many years to follow. This is the story of how Life Fitness emerged as an innovative, progressive fitness equipment company, specializing in the development, design, and marketing of health club quality gym gear, home fitness equipment and weight lifting supplies and then used their well deserved popularity and growing fan base, to turn them into the fitness empire that they are today.

Having health club quality fitness equipment should be a right, rather than a privilege. Working out and exercising is human necessities. With that said, it is difficult to stay in shape through working out, without using gym caliber fitness equipment.  Treadmills, elliptical, exercise bikes, rowing machines and other fitness equipment make workout sessions enjoyable.  In other words, that man was Dr. Keene P. Dimick and his Life Fitness cycle; kick started what is now one of the most popular and successful fitness equipment companies in the world. Since the late 1960s, Life Fitness has earned themselves a flawless reputation, through producing some of the world’s finest health club and home fitness equipment, year after year. Life Fitness treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes, strength trainers and steppers are regarded as the best in the industry by many fitness experts. If it were up to us, having health club quality fitness equipment would be right, rather than a privilege. With that said, it is difficult to stay in shape through working out, without using gym caliber fitness equipment.

Life Fitness exercise equipment is special. For example, there are rows of Life Fitness 95Ti, 95Te, 97Ti and 97Te treadmills, lining gym floors across the U.S.A. Those four Life Fitness treadmills are arguably the best treadmills in the fitness industry today. In addition to the LF health club quality treadmills, their variety of gym grade elliptical trainers is remarkable. The Life Fitness 95Xi, 95Xe, LF 9500 and the 93Xi, are all heavy duty, highly respected, elliptical trainers. Whenever it is that you decide to go for a run on one of these premier treadmills, or cross-train on an elliptical, instead of going right into your exercise routine, just scroll through some of the programs and features, and you will be blown away by the attention to detail that Life Fitness pays to each and every one of their products.
