LifeFitness Fitness Equipment

Life Fitness is a brand name associated with high quality fitness equipment and the LifeFitness logo is instantly recognisable in gyms and health clubs around the world.

The story of Life Fitness began when two young entrepreneurs, Ray Wilson and Augie Nieto, saw the promise of Dr. Dimick's invention. Even though it was slightly ahead of its time, they believed the LifeCycle Exercise Bike could help generations of athletes, trainers, exercisers, and people everywhere live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.

Wilson and Nieto bought the rights to the Lifecycle bike from Dr. Dimick. They modified it and sold it out of a motor tome to health clubs across America. Despite the overwhelming odds and initial unpopularity of the Lifecycle exercise bike, the two passion-filled pioneers turned a two-man operation and a seemingly impossible vision into a prosperous reality. Along the way, they shaped the future of Life Fitness as well as the fitness industry, bringing cardiovascular training into the mainstream and helping ignite the health club boom.

Today, Life Fitness employs more than 1,700 people at 12 international subsidiaries and manufacturing facilities, with 186 dealers and distributors in more than 120 countries. LifeFitness has come a long way since the Lifecycle bike and now offer more than 300 different LifeFitness Cardio and LifeFitness Strength Machines.

Introduction to GymCompany

GymCompany is the Number One source for gym equipment and was set up to provide customers with a one shop stop for all their fitness equipment needs. Most of our visitors are looking to improve their fitness and lose weight. If you are in this category, we would suggest looking at the following types of fitness equipment:

Cardio machines are the most commonly purchased pieces of gym equipment. These include: treadmills which replicate walking or running outside, elliptical crosstrainers which offer a total body workout with just one item of fitness equipment and exercise bikes which simulate bike riding.

Cardio machines are a great way to work up a sweat, burn off some calories and improve your aerobic conditioning.

Next to look at would be a good home multigym. A multigym is a very versatile piece of gym equipment and will allow you to build upper and lower body strength, tone up, build muscle and most importantly raise your resting metabolic rate - allowing increased fat burning at all times.

The newest fitness equipment trend is vibration machines. These vibration plates work by stimulating muscles to contract 35 times per second. The vibrations cause muscles to strengthen and tone, causing an immediate improvement in body shape and contribute to increased fat loss.
