AT THE

FOREFRONT OF FITNESS FOR OVER 40 YEARS

Original LifeCycle®

Manufactured in 1968Concord, California, USA

WE INNOVATE FROM THE IDEA

THAT THE MACHINE CAN WORK WITH THE

EXERCISER TO MAKE THE EXPERIENCE

BETTER

The need for feedback In 1968, Dr. Keene Dimick, a chemist and university professor, was inspired to create the Lifecycle® Exercise Bike so he would know how long he’d been exercising, how far he had gone and how many calories he’d burned.

Revolutionary programsDr. Dimick also created the idea of programs, where the computer challenges the user based on time and level.

Gaining momentumEntrepreneurs Augie Nieto and Ray Wilson purchased the rights to the Lifecycle and introduced it to commercial fitness facilities. As the fitness industry grew, Lifecycle, Inc. grew along with it, introducing new products along the way to help people live a healthier lifestyle.

Life Fitness leads a healthy revolutionHealth clubs grew increasingly popular in the 1980s and 1990s, and with our treadmills, elliptical cross-trainers and strength equipment dominating the floor it made sense to rename the company Life Fitness. As the global leader in commercial fitness equipment, Life Fitness was a natural acquisition for Brunswick Corporation, the leader in recreation and our parent company since 1997.

Adding to our strengthRecognizing a fellow innovator in founder Gary Jones, Life Fitness purchased Hammer Stength, a revolutionary manufacturer of performance strength equipment, in the late 1990s.

The global leader looks forwardWe remain focused on meeting the needs of exercisers in a rapidly changing industry. As technology advances, we are focused on integrating it into our machines, leading the way for an even better exercise experience.

Life Fitness is committed to developing products that enable our customers to run greener businesses. Most models are self-powered. Our treadmills have been proven more energy e�cient by third-party testing. We regularly evaluate our manufacturing and distribution practices in an ongoing e�ort to lighten our footprint.

A COMMITMENT TO

EXCELLENCELots of products look

great, but when you’re on them they just don’t have

the right feel

Smart designWe create authentic exercise experiences for people through products that look good and perform brilliantly. Our internal industrial design, biomechanics and reliability teams provide tested, real world solutions that help people achieve better results.

Man and machineThe largest dedicated biomechanics team in fitness studies people as they move and interact with the machines. By examining the science of movement including range of motion and center of mass, plus how exercisers behave, we develop products that are easy for most people to use without the need for many adjustments.

A COMMITMENT TO

EXCELLENCE

Our machines look good and feel even better

Extreme testingOur on-site functional laboratories include mechanical, electrical, software, integrated, biomechanics and test labs representing a multi-million dollar investment. This exemplifies our commitment to developing the best equipment for use in facilities worldwide.

Having our own labs makes us more agile. We do more new product development because of the testing capability that exists here. If a new feature is developed, we can test it on its own as well as how it integrates with more proven technology. Ideas are explored and solutions discovered faster because of the investment we make in these resources.

We devote time,energy and resourcesto making things right

GLOBAL NEEDS

This dedicated person is thoroughly trained by Life Fitness and has all of our resources at his fingertips, including access to a worldwide network of other certified technicians.

Success is in the detailsIn addition to the right equipment, Life Fitness will provide you with the tools to reach your exercisers. Our global team of Life Fitness representatives develop solutions that will help you attract new members, announce new products or engage with your community. Life Fitness Academy o�ers valuable training on trends in exercise and how you and your exercisers can get the most out of the equipment.
