Intuitive Display & Seamless Connectivity

A bright, intuitive LED display shows essential workout data at a glance, while simple tactile controls make the Life Fitness console easy to start and use for exercisers of all levels. Built-in Bluetooth®, Apple Watch®, and ANT+ connectivity enables seamless syncing with wearables, heart rate straps, headphones, and mobile devices for a modern, connected cardio experience.

Consistent Experience Across Equipment

A uniform interface across treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, and climbers eliminates the need to relearn controls on different machines. Consistent buttons, and workout logic help exercisers move easily between different types of cardio machines.
