Powerful technology to achieve your goals
Life Fitness gym systems empower your workouts with
two types of strength-building technology—Cable Motion™ technology,
and Fixed motion technology.
Life Fitness Gym Systems
Fixed Motion Gym Systems
Cable Motion Gym Systems
•Train for function. Perform
movements that strengthen the
muscles used in activities or to
achieve specific goals.
•User-defined paths of motion
enable virtually unlimited exercise
variety—similar to lifting free
weights.
•Total-body exercises target
multiple muscle groups producing
greater results.
Cable Motion technology gives you control of every
exercise motion. You have the freedom to perform traditional
exercises, the functional moves of specific activities, or
total-body movements that strengthen your core.
Fixed motion lets you focus on strengthening specific
muscles using a traditional, machine-defined path of motion.
This simplifies your movements and your workouts.
•Exercise motions are guided by
the machine making exercising
intuitive and straightforward.
•Utilizes familiar, fixed motion
technology typically found on
health club equipment.
•Targets specific muscle groups
by isolating muscles in a stabilized,
controlled environment.
