Symbio Incline Elliptical: Where Science Meets Superior Cardio Performance

How Does the Symbio Incline Elliptical Offer Movement Patterns Different to Those Your Exercisers Might Be Used to?

The Symbio Incline Elliptical makes use of stepover mechanics, the movement pattern associated with how the exerciser's foot moves up and over, to mimic the body’s natural running arc and taking performance and comfort to the next level. 

Too often, other ellipticals lose this "up and over" motion and the pattern becomes linear and flat. The Life Fitness Symbio Incline Elliptical ensures its unique movement pattern is maintained at all incline levels through the cross-functional collaboration of our biomechanics, engineering and product design team.

A New Level of Comfort

The patented ergonomic convex shape of the Life Fitness FlexForm™ pedals assists in pedal articulation to return the foot to a neutral position faster than other ellipticals, creating superior foot comfort and reducing potential hot spots or numb foot. 

We have exhaustively researched, quantified and fine-tuned our Symbio Incline Elliptical movement to create an optimal and comfortable experience for your exercisers. 

The Role Ellipticals Play in the Cardio Space

There are many reasons why exercisers might look for an elliptical within your facility, including:

1. Low Joint Impact - One of the biggest benefits of ellipticals is the low joint impact and reduced force compared to traditional walking or running. Furthermore, incorporating elliptical workouts as a form of cross-training can add variety and balance, and help reduce the risk of overuse injury for those who regularly engage in high-impact exercise.
    

2. Cardiovascular Benefits - Elliptical exercise quickly increases heart rate, allowing for a great aerobic workout that strengthens the heart and lungs, builds stamina and endurance, and improves cardiovascular fitness. With 15 incline levels available, aerobic exercise on an elliptical can help boost heart health, reduce high blood pressure, and improve blood circulation.  
    

3. Calorie Burning Equal to Treadmills - Elliptical exercise can burn between 200 and 500 calories in 30 minutes, depending on the user’s body weight and exercise intensity. Ellipticals are a great option for those looking to burn calories quickly and achieve weight loss goals. 
    

4. Targets Specific Muscles - The elliptical pedal path is designed to engage and tone leg muscles such as quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and glutes. In addition to working different leg muscles, ellipticals engage the upper body through handlebars that move in synchronization with the lower body. 
    

5. Weight-Bearing Activity - Compared to other forms of low-impact exercise, such as cycling or rowing, ellipticals are a weight-bearing form of exercise. As your legs work to push against the pedals, this weight-bearing activity helps build muscle strength and improve bone density. This is especially important for people with osteoporosis and a high risk of bone fractures. 
    

6. Coordination and Balance - Simultaneous body movements on the elliptical can help improve coordination and build core stability.
