ROSEMONT, IL – Life Fitness, a global leader in commercial fitness equipment, announced its new Integrity Series cardio line, including a Treadmill, Elliptical Cross-Trainer, and Upright and Recumbent Lifecycle Exercise Bikes.
The new Integrity Series is designed and revamped for facilities that require robust cardio equipment that is simple and intuitive for exercisers. It is rooted in Life Fitness’ existing and proven Integrity line, the most reliable cardio equipment in the fitness industry, which combines extreme durability with ease of serviceability. To accommodate the growing fitness industry and the customization needs of facilities, the line allows facilities to choose their preferred product configuration when prioritizing price and features.
“The new Integrity Series cardio line was redesigned based on the knowledge that Life Fitness has gained during nearly 50 years of listening to customers and manufacturing the best fitness equipment in the industry,” said Mike Kavanagh, cardio and group training category director for Life Fitness. “The line is field-tested and has proven itself time and time again as the cardio line that our customers can trust.”
The Integrity Series is available in three product models with two console options for each machine along with the choice of a variety of product features to best fit the needs of a facility’s exercisers. The standard Integrity Series C Console provides easy get-on-and-go functionality for users, with a large LED display and simple, intuitive navigation. The featured Integrity Series X Console includes a 7-inch LCD touchscreen, smartphone-inspired navigation and Bluetooth® connection. Both consoles offer wireless connectivity to allow customers to take advantage of LFconnect digital solutions.
Base features – with optional upgrades – increase comfort, accessibility and ease-of-use for the exerciser. Features and options include:
- Treadmill – The treadmill base redesign increases the quality of exercise and usability, including a lower step-up height (8 inches), a swing-free area and a wider running area (22 inches). Additional upgrades to the deluxe model include increased handrail length and bullhorns with heart rate and remote resistance buttons.
- Elliptical Cross-Trainer – The 20-inch stride allows for smooth and fluid motion, while the oversized and non-slip 13.3-inch pedals provide plenty of foot placement options for exercisers. Both the simple and deluxe versions provide ergonomic grip handles, while the deluxe version also includes a multi-grip design that lets exercisers choose comfortable hand positions that offer easy heart rate monitoring and integrated resistance controls.
- Upright Exercise Bike – Ergonomically designed seat and handlebars improve ride comfort, while a generator drive system provides a smooth, quiet operation that requires limited maintenance. The deluxe model includes wide, self-leveling pedals with simple buckle straps for easy get-on-and-go functionality, while the handlebars offer cruising, hybrid and race positions that also integrate resistance controls to make in-workout adjustments simple.
- Recumbent Bike – Get-on-and-go design and improved comfort features allow accessibility for all types of exercisers. The recumbent seat includes back rest and lumbar support, as well as a wrap-around adjustment lever that makes it easy to find the most comfortable seat position. The deluxe model includes integrated resistance controls on the side handles for easy adjustments during a workout.
The Integrity Series can be connected to a facility’s free LFconnect account which, among tracking and asset management capabilities, allows monitoring of equipment through LFconnect Protect, a unique service that seamlessly connects the equipment to the skilled digital service professionals at Life Fitness, allowing for proactive alerts and guidance for preventive maintenance. If a machine requires maintenance, service is simplified due to minimal hardware and easy-to-remove shrouds.

ROSEMONT, IL – Life Fitness, a global leader in commercial fitness equipment, announced that its cardio equipment will pair wirelessly and seamlessly with Apple Watch so exercisers can track the most accurate measurements possible.
When beginning a workout, simply tapping Apple Watch to the fitness console establishes a connection. There is no need to download additional apps, press extra buttons, or navigate complicated menus. Once connected, Apple Watch and the fitness machine exchange data like heart rate, calories burned, distance, speed and incline.
“We’re excited to help bring this groundbreaking innovation to the fitness industry,” said Jaime Irick, president of Life Fitness. “There are over 700 million workouts per year on our cardio machines across the globe, and we know that exercisers want personalized workouts with easy data tracking. This new capability is just another example of how we’re innovating to deliver exceptional experiences to exercisers.”
Connectivity with Apple Watch will be available later in 2017 on Discover SE3 HD Tablet consoles, Life Fitness’ premium cardio console. Introduced earlier this year, Discover SE3 HD features a 21” treadmill screen and 16” bike, cross-trainer and PowerMill screen with 1080p resolution. Exercisers can view high-definition television or stream their favorite content in HD from on-console apps. In the future, other brands within the Life Fitness portfolio will benefit from connectivity with Apple Watch including Cybex, SCIFIT and Indoor Cycling Group.
“Life Fitness is committed to supporting customer outcomes by offering connected club solutions that personalize exerciser experiences and provide intelligence for informed business decisions,” said Irick.
