Life Fitness Gym Systems
Powerful technology to achieve your goals
Life Fitness gym systems empower your workouts with two types of
strength-building technology. Cable Motion™ technology, utilized
in the Life Fitness G5 and CM3, lets you determine the path of motion
for each exercise to train a wide range of muscle groups.
Fixed motion technology, featured in the Life Fitness GS4 and GS2,
uses traditional, fixed-paths of motion that strengthen specific muscle groups.

Freedom of Motion

Defined Motion

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.

• 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.

• 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.
