H-PRO recumbent bike for rehabilitation and care settings

The H-PRO is a recumbent exercise bike with a semi reclined seat and backrest, an intensive use steel chassis and a simplified console, declared to the EN ISO 20957 series. It exists to solve a purchasing problem rather than a training one. Rehabilitation departments, care homes and senior residences rarely buy one bike; they buy three or four at a time, and the console is the component that inflates the unit price without changing the therapeutic value. The H-PRO keeps the frame, the seat and the ride quality, and removes the multimedia.

Technical specification

Why recumbent rather than upright

A recumbent bike distributes body weight across a wide seat and a backrest instead of concentrating it on a saddle, and it holds the trunk supported throughout the session. For a user with limited hip mobility, reduced balance or lower back pain, that is the difference between a machine they will use and one they will avoid. Getting on and off is a step over rather than a climb, which matters as much in a care home as any physiological argument.

• Semi reclined seat with full backrest for joint comfort
• Simple console with the essential programmes, quick to learn
• Quiet transmission, suitable for shared rooms and clinical settings
• Club grade steel chassis for continuous daily use
• European manufacture, declared to EN ISO 20957

Specifying several units

Where a room takes multiple bikes, plan at least 60 to 80 cm between units for staff access on both sides, which is more generous than a commercial gym layout because assistance and transfers happen alongside the machine. Recumbent bikes are longer than upright ones, so confirm the assembled dimensions on your quotation before drawing the room.

Servicing on a magnetic resistance recumbent bike is undemanding: check the pedal and crank fixings, the seat rail adjustment mechanism, the drive belt tension and the console batteries or supply. In a clinical or care setting, the seat and backrest upholstery should be wiped with a product compatible with the covering, which is worth confirming with the establishment cleaning protocol.

Frequently asked questions

Which facilities is the H-PRO intended for?

Rehabilitation departments, physiotherapy practices, senior residences and care homes, and medical sport centres. It is also specified for private training rooms where a user needs joint friendly cardio.

How does it differ from the multimedia version?

Same seat, same frame, same durability; a simpler console. The saving lets a facility install roughly twice the number of stations for a given budget, which is usually the constraint in a rehabilitation or care setting.

Is a layout plan available?

Yes. Light In Fitness provides a 3D layout plan on projects of three bikes or more, and quotes delivery and installation for mainland France with after sales support from Tours.
