F1 SmartTM Designed for Fitness Lovers and New Year's
Resolutions
Life Fitness, recognized for providing quality fitness equipment
to health clubs and homes around the world, has launched its latest
piece of innovation in time for New Year's resolutions - the F1
SmartTM home treadmill. The F1 Smart is an easy-to-use, foldable
treadmill with seven pre-programmed workouts, plus a library of
workouts that can be created through the Virtual Trainer Website.
The new treadmill utilizes a patented FlexDeck® Shock Absorption
System to reduce joint stress by up to 30 percent, when compared to
running on concrete or other hard surfaces. Like the company's
health club equipment, the F1 Smart treadmill was refined and
tested in a laboratory to ensure the superior biomechanics.
"The F1 Smart Treadmill appeals to at-home exercisers on a
number of levels," said Bob Quast, vice president of brand
management, Life Fitness. "With a variety of intuitive features,
the F1 Smart comes at a price that many exercisers can afford, just
in time for New Year's resolutions."
For consumers, the F1 Smart offers more than a regular
treadmill. The treadmill's energy-saving feature automatically puts
the treadmill into energy- saver mode after workouts, lowering
energy use by 90 percent. The F1 Smart even features iPod®
compatibility, so that consumers can exercise and charge their
listening device while enjoying their favorite music.

share workouts, plus track progress, visit

The F1 Smart treadmill is available at participating retailers
nationwide. The suggested retail price is $2,499.
