Professional cardio equipment

This range covers the professional cardio equipment used to equip gyms, fitness clubs, hotels, rehabilitation centres, armed forces sites and wellness facilities. It brings together treadmills, cross trainers, indoor cycling bikes, upright and recumbent exercise bikes, rowers, ski ergometers, air bikes, steppers and stair climbers. Every reference is specified for continuous daily commercial use and complies with EN 957, published as EN ISO 20957. Light In Fitness supplies these machines with layout support, delivery and installation.

What is included in this range

Treadmills use continuous duty motors and wide running surfaces with joint cushioning, and consoles range from simple LED displays to connected touchscreens. Cross trainers give low impact work with electromagnetic resistance and stride lengths up to around 60 cm on the larger frames. Indoor cycling bikes use heavy flywheels with magnetic or friction resistance and full handlebar and saddle adjustment for group sessions. Rowers are available in air, water and magnetic resistance. Ski ergometers and air bikes cover high intensity and CrossFit style conditioning. Recumbent bikes and medical ergometers suit rehabilitation services and older users. Brands referenced include Bodytone, BH Fitness, Lexco, Xebex and Waterflex for aquatic use.

How to choose the mix

The right mix depends on the membership profile and on how long each machine is occupied at peak time. A general fitness club needs breadth; a performance box needs fewer machine types in greater numbers.

Installation, power and maintenance

Treadmills and powered machines need dedicated socket outlets planned before delivery, and the electrical load should be checked against the number of machines on one circuit. Cardio rows need clearance behind treadmills and beside cross trainers, which catalogue footprints do not always include. Rubber gym flooring tiles under cardio reduce vibration transmission and protect the slab. In service, maintenance is limited to cleaning, belt tension checks and periodic inspection of running surfaces and bearings. Warranty runs from 2 to 5 years depending on the range.

Frequently asked questions

Why not use consumer cardio equipment in a small club?

Duty rating, not size, decides. A studio open twelve hours a day accumulates more running hours in a month than a household machine sees in years, and the first failures appear in motors, bearings and consoles. Commercial machines are also the ones for which spare parts remain available over the long term.

Which standard applies to indoor cardio machines?

EN 957, published as EN ISO 20957, covers stationary training equipment and defines classes according to intended use, including class S for professional installations. Asking for the class on the quotation is useful when a specification or an insurer requires professional grade equipment.

How many cardio machines are needed for a given club?

The workable approach is to count peak hour attendance and the share of members who start with cardio, then size the row so waiting stays acceptable. Machine type matters too: treadmill sessions typically run longer than air bike intervals. We size this together from your attendance figures and available area.
