Duty Cycle
Model peak occupancy and daily run hours before choosing motor, deck and resistance architecture.
COMMERCIAL FITNESS SYSTEMS
Life Fitness equipment planned around real facility demand
Build cardio and strength capacity around member flow, service clearances and operating hours—not a showroom checklist.
SIX OPERATING QUESTIONS
Specify the floor before selecting the console
User Envelope
Confirm stride, reach, transfer access and a maximum user-weight target for each station.
Power Plan
Map dedicated circuits, outlet positions and non-powered alternatives before slab penetrations close.
Service Access
Retain technician clearance around belts, drives, weight stacks and cable routing.
Training Mix
Balance steady-state cardio, interval capacity, selectorized resistance and plate-loaded demand.
Lifecycle Cost
Compare preventive maintenance, wear parts and planned replacement over a five-year horizon.
