The bike is the machine used by both the youngest and the oldest members of a gym, just not the same bike. An upright asks the rider to climb on and lean forward; a recumbent only asks them to sit down. Both versions in each line are below, with official specifications.
A rule from the gym floor: the recumbent bike keeps members who would otherwise leave. The upright delivers the numbers. Most facilities take both, in a ratio that depends on the age profile.
Two bikes that solve two different problems. The SwitchCycle is the first Life Fitness upright bike that can also be ridden out of the saddle, and the Recumbent Cycle has the lowest step-through in its class.
One bike that covers both a steady ride in the saddle and standing climbs. One hundred resistance levels and reinforced pedals bring out-of-the-saddle riding to an upright bike, something that used to be reserved for indoor cycling.

The frame is open and low, the pedals are angled towards the user, and the backrest reclines on a gas spring. A member who struggles to climb onto a bike simply sits down here — and that is the part of the membership that is otherwise lost.

The smallest footprint in the range. With the SL console both bikes are self-powered and switch on by themselves as soon as the member starts pedalling — no button, no waiting.
The same hotel room where the Atmos treadmill and cross-trainer already stand. The bike takes up a little over a metre in depth, so it fits even where all that is left is what is usually called “a corner”.
An upright bike for small rooms. The seat is adjusted with a pin and a twist, the pedals with quick-tightening straps — no tools and no explanations.

The Hammer Strength HD Air Bike has air resistance that rises with effort, handlebars that bring the arms into play and a battery-powered console. For short, hard, total-body intervals.
Indoor cycling does not belong in this breakdown. ICG bikes measure power to within one per cent and turn that power into a colour the rider sees in front of them, so every class has a clear goal. It is a separate line with its own page.
Integrity+, Aspire and Atmos bikes are chosen with the SE4 touchscreen or SL with an LED display. Symbio has its own 24-inch display. A comparison of both consoles is on the cardio page.
