The ultimate Life Fitness Gym System

The Life Fitness G5 Cable Motion™Gym System is the one home gym that has it all.

From its striking design to its virtually endless list of exercise options, the G5 goes above

and beyond standardstrength training to help you reach a new level of fitness. Now you can

perform nearly any strength-training exercise found at the health club on a single machine

designed specifically for the home. Whether your goal is toning up, building strength, or

training for a specific activity, the G5 will get you there with confidence.

As my strength grows,

so does my confidence.

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.

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 performtraditional

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.
