1.2.1: Cross-Trainers only:

Cross-Trainers:
For EN ISO 20957-9: 2016 Class SA accuracy testing, power at the crankshaft was measured by connecting the training equipment to a dynamometer. The crank was rotated and torque measured per EN ISO 20957-9: 2016 Class SA operating test conditions. Accuracy of the resulting watts displayed on the console and actual watts measured by dynamometer were found to be within the tolerance of EN ISO 20957-9: 2016 Class SA (+/- 5 Watts up to 50 Watts and +/- 10% over 50 Watts.

1.2.2: FlexStrider Variable Stride Trainer only:

For EN ISO 20957-9 Class A accuracy testing, input mechanical power was measured by connecting the resistance device (generator) with the console to a dynamometer. Torque test data was recorded across the available speed and resistance level settings. The mechanical resistance was then determined by a deceleration test without a user riding it, measuring precisely both motions exhibited by the product: 1) The rotational deceleration measured from the starting speed and time, at minimum stride, until the rotating mechanism comes to a stop, and 2) The angular deceleration measured from a starting angle and time until the pedal leg lever assembly comes to a stop. The torque required to stop the unit was then calculated from the system inertia, input speed, angle, and time to stop, and then added to the dynamometer data to obtain the total system torque. From measured torque and speed, the input mechanical power and variance from displayed power were calculated. At level 10 and a constant 40 RPM, displayed wattage was 128 watts, with a 2.1% variance from input power on the test equipment. At level 15 and a constant 60 RPM, displayed wattage was 167 watts, with a 4.6% variance from input power on the test equipment.

1.2.3: Arc Trainer Only

Arc Trainers:
For EN ISO 20957-9: 2016 Class SA accuracy testing, power at the crankshaft was measured by connecting the training equipment to a dynamometer. The crank was rotated and torque measured per EN ISO 20957-9: 2016 Class SA operating test conditions. Accuracy of the resulting watts displayed on the console and actual watts measured by dynamometer were found to be within the tolerance of EN ISO 20957-9: 2016 Class SA (+/- 5 Watts up to 50 Watts and +/- 10% over 50 Watts.

    • Use to select, set up, monitor and save workouts.
    • Access entertainment options.
  2. Optional RFID (Radio Frequency Identification): Fitness facility owners can order this option for their users allowing them to swipe their facility identification card on the console. The console’s hardware is compatible with the two main frequencies (125kHz and 13.56Mhz) used for RFID cards.
  3. Reading Rack / Tablet Holder: Place traditional reading material as well as mobile devices and tablets in this built-in holder.
  4. USB: Charge USB devices.
  5. Headphones: Plug in headphones to listen to TV and entertainment options.
  6. NFC (Near Field Communication): Connect to NFC enabled mobile devices for seamless pairing and data share.

2.2: The Lifepulse™ System

The patented Lifepulse system sensors (B) are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on this product. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout:

  • Grasp the sensors firmly.
  • Hold each sensors at the midpoint.
  • Keep hands steady and in place.
Treadmill

The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors may affect a Lifepulse reading:

  • incorrect hand placement on the sensors
  • upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands
  • excessive or insufficient pressure when gripping the sensors
Note: Do not attempt to grasp the sensors on a treadmill at speeds above 4.5 MPH or 7.2 KPH. For these speeds, the use of a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is recommended. Treadmill

2.3: Optional Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap

The Polar telemetry heart rate monitoring system transfers heart rate signals to the console when electrodes are pressed against the skin. These electrodes are attached to a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is optional. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services to order.

See diagram for correct positioning of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.

Note: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the signals from the sensors are valid, the on-board computer uses these sensor signals for calculating the heart rate instead of those transmitted by the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap.
Note: During the setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 MPH / 7.2 KPH. If a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is detected, users can workout at the maximum allowed speed.

4.2.2 Set Up Your Workout - Terrain

  1. Choose Terrain
    • Flat is a constant effort workout in which the user can change incline, level or speed at any time.
    • Hill is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval.
    • Rolling Hills is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
    • Random is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

4.2.3 Heart Rate Goals Workouts

Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. Zone Training identifies an exerciser’s ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal heart rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 8th Edition, 2010. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.

HR Max = 206.9 - (0.67 * age)

4.2.4 Theoretical Maximum Heart Rates and Target Heart Rates

Reference the chart below for Theoretical Maximum Heart Rates and Target Heart Rates. Listed as BPM (Beats per Minute).

Age Theoretical Maximum Heart Rate 65% (Moderate Burn) 80% (Vigorous Burn)
10 200 130 160
20 194 126 155
30 187 121 149
40 180 117 144
50 173 113 139
60 167 108 133
70 160 104 128
80 153 100 123
90 147 95 117
99 141 91 112

Wear the optional Polar® telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the Lifepulse™ sensors, to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout.

4.3 Fitness Tests

Choose desired fitness test.

  • Life Fitness Fit Test estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every 4 - 6 weeks.

  • U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) is a 5-minute distance goal test based on the time needed to complete the required distance and is used by the U.S. Navy and Naval academies to measure aerobic capacity.

    Note: Not available on FlexStrider or PowerMill.

  • U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is a 5-minute physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.

  • U.S. Marines Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.

  • U.S. Air Force Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.

  • , WFI Submax Protocol is a graded submax assessment used to predict a fire fighter's aerobic capacity. This test automatically increases speed and incline (treadmill only) until a target heart rate is reached. This assessment replaces the Gerkin assessment. Once the target heart rate has been exceeded for 15 seconds, the program goes into a cool down mode.

  • Physical Efficiency Battery (PEB) is used by U.S. Federal Law Enforcement, U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other federal organizations for the hiring and maintenance of federal jobs.

  • FAMS is a 12-minute cycle test. This test is a 1.5 mile run alternative.

  • Candidate Physical Ability Test is used to predict the ability to perform basic fire fighting tasks developed by the International Association of Fire Fighters. The test starts out with a 20-second warm up period at a set stepping rate of 50 steps per minute followed by the 3-minute test at a set stepping rate of 60 steps per minute.

  • Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) is the 2.4 kilometer portion of a standard physical fitness test utilized by the Singaporean Armed Forces, Police Force and Civil Defense Force.

4.3.1 Life Fitness Fit Test

  • The Life Fitness Fit Test estimates cardiovascular activity and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every 4 - 6 weeks.
  • The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test and gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood.
  • Physicians and exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.
  • Workout duration is 5 minutes total.
  • Take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the three scores.
  • To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60% to 85% of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax).

The user must grasp the hand sensors when prompted, or wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading.

Note: The workout will be terminated if a heart rate is not detected after 2.5 minutes.

Your heart rate is dependent on many factors, including:

  • amount of sleep the previous night (at least 7 hours is recommended)
  • time of day
  • time you last ate (2 - 4 hours after the last meal is recommended)
  • time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least 4 hours is recommended)
  • time since you last exercised (at least 6 hours is recommended)

Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate the user’s heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate.

After the 5-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score and rating will be displayed.

Please note that the estimated VO2 max scores achieved will be 10-15% lower on stationary exercise bikes than those achieved on other Life Fitness cardiovascular equipment. Stationary cycling has a higher rate of isolated muscle fatigue of the quadriceps when compared to walking / running on a treadmill or utilizing a bike. This higher rate of fatigue corresponds to lower levels of estimated VO2 max scores.

4.2.2: Set Up Your Workout - Terrain

  1. Choose Terrain
    • Flat is a constant effort workout in which the user can change incline, level or speed at any time.
    • Hill is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval.
    • Rolling Hills is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
    • Random is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

4.2.3: Heart Rate Goals Workouts

Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. Zone Training identifies an exerciser’s ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal heart rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 8th Edition, 2010. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.

HR Max = 206.9 - (0.67 * age)

4.2.4: Theoretical Maximum Heart Rates and Target Heart Rates

Reference the chart below for Theoretical Maximum Heart Rates and Target Heart Rates. Listed as BPM (Beats per Minute).

Age Theoretical Maximum Heart Rate 65% (Moderate Burn) 80% (Vigorous Burn)
10 200 130 160
20 194 126 155
30 187 121 149
40 180 117 144
50 173 113 139
60 167 108 133
70 160 104 128
80 153 100 123
90 147 95 117
99 141 91 112

Wear the optional Polar® telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the Lifepulse™ sensors, to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the incline level (Treadmills only) to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

4.3: Fitness Tests

Choose desired fitness test.

  • Life Fitness Fit Test estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every 4 - 6 weeks.

  • U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) is a 5-minute distance goal test based on the time needed to complete the required distance and is used by the U.S. Navy and Naval academies to measure aerobic capacity.

    Note: Not available on FlexStrider or PowerMill.

  • U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is a 5-minute physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.

  • U.S. Marines Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.

  • U.S. Air Force Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.

  • , WFI Submax Protocol is a graded submax assessment used to predict a fire fighter's aerobic capacity. This test automatically increases speed and incline (treadmill only) until a target heart rate is reached. This assessment replaces the Gerkin assessment. Once the target heart rate has been exceeded for 15 seconds, the program goes into a cool down mode.

  • Physical Efficiency Battery (PEB) is used by U.S. Federal Law Enforcement, U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other federal organizations for the hiring and maintenance of federal jobs.

  • FAMS is a 12-minute cycle test. This test is a 1.5 mile run alternative.

  • Candidate Physical Ability Test is used to predict the ability to perform basic fire fighting tasks developed by the International Association of Fire Fighters. The test starts out with a 20-second warm up period at a set stepping rate of 50 steps per minute followed by the 3-minute test at a set stepping rate of 60 steps per minute.

  • Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) is the 2.4 kilometer portion of a standard physical fitness test utilized by the Singaporean Armed Forces, Police Force and Civil Defense Force.

4.3.1: Life Fitness Fit Test

  • The Life Fitness Fit Test estimates cardiovascular activity and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every 4 - 6 weeks.
  • The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test and gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood.
  • Physicians and exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.
  • Workout duration is 5 minutes total.
  • Take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the three scores.
  • To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60% to 85% of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax).

The user must grasp the hand sensors when prompted, or wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading.

Note: The workout will be terminated if a heart rate is not detected after 2.5 minutes.

Your heart rate is dependent on many factors, including:

  • amount of sleep the previous night (at least 7 hours is recommended)
  • time of day
  • time you last ate (2 - 4 hours after the last meal is recommended)
  • time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least 4 hours is recommended)
  • time since you last exercised (at least 6 hours is recommended)

Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate the user’s heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate.

After the 5-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score and rating will be displayed.

Please note that the estimated VO2 max scores achieved will be 10-15% lower on stationary exercise bikes than those achieved on other Life Fitness cardiovascular equipment. Stationary cycling has a higher rate of isolated muscle fatigue of the quadriceps when compared to walking / running on a treadmill or utilizing a bike. This higher rate of fatigue corresponds to lower levels of estimated VO2 max scores.

Chapter 7: Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Note: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced.
Note: Pour assurer la sécurité du matériel, il convient de l’inspecter régulièrement afin de déceler tout signe d’usure ou d’endommagement. N’utilisez pas l’appareil avant d’avoir réparé ou remplacé les pièces défectueuses.

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the product operating at peak performance:

  • Locate the product in a cool, dry place.
  • Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or compatible cleaner (see Approved and Compatible Cleaners) and a microfiber cloth.
  • Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the selection buttons on the console.

7.1: Approved and Compatible Cleaners

Two preferred cleaners have been approved by reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.

PureGreen 24 is available in a spray which is convenient for gym staff to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control.

Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.

Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email: customersupport@lifefitness.com).

Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.

7.2: Troubleshooting

Malfunction Probable Cause Corrective Action
No Power. ON / OFF switch is not in proper position. Turn the switch to the ON position.
Power source is insufficient. Plug treadmill into a dedicated 20 amp circuit. Using a voltmeter, verify power at outlet. If no power exists, reset circuit breaker at panel.
Line cord is damaged. Replace line cord. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services.
Line cord is improperly seated in socket. Inspect power connection at wall outlet and at machine for proper contact.
Note: International Platinum Club Series Treadmills (PCST) only: You may be in “Energy Saving Mode”.
Treadmill will go into Energy Saving Mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. To wake up the console, step on the treadmill belt. The treadmill will automatically wake up and the console will light up. Waking up the treadmill takes approximately 50 seconds after stepping onto the belt.
Note: International Platinum Club Series Units only (PCSC, PCSR, PCSX): You may be in “Energy Saving Mode”.
Unit will go into Energy Saving Mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. To wake up the console, pedal until you hear a beep. The unit will automatically wake up and the console will light up. Waking up the unit takes approximately 50 seconds after beginning to pedal.
Treadmill striding belt slips off-center. Floor surface is uneven. Check levelers and level treadmill. Check striding belt and re-tension as necessary. Refer to Assembly Instructions.
Maximum treadmill speed is reduced. User is pushing striding belt. This occurs when the runner is running faster than the striding belt will travel, with the result of the striding belt being pushed with the runner’s feet. Instruct users not to push striding belt in either direction.
User is stalling striding belt. This will occur with heavier users at lower striding belt speeds. The striding belt will “stall” if the user is traveling slower than the striding belt speed.
Striding belt/deck malfunctions. The deck laminate is worn through or the underside of striding belt is glazed over (hard, glossy). Replace belt and deck. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services.
Power source is insufficient. Plug treadmill into a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
Rubbing sound comes from underneath treadmill. Foreign objects may be stuck underneath the machine. Inspect underneath striding belt and machine. Remove any debris or objects that may cause interference with the treadmill.
Display does not illuminate when machine is powered on. Loose connection at display console or motor control board. Check all electrical connections for proper attachment. Contact Customer Support Services.

7.3: Troubleshooting - Heart Rate Reading

Malfunction Probable Cause Corrective Action
Heart rate reading is initially detected and functioning normally but then is lost. Use of personal electronic devices, such as cell phones and portable MP3 players, causes external noise interference. Remove the source of noise or reposition the exercise equipment.
Equipment is in close proximity to other sources of noise such as audio/video equipment, fans, two way radios, and high voltage/ high current power lines.
Heart rate readings are abnormally elevated. Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines, motor driven exercise equipment , and another heart rate transmitter within 3 ft. (0.9 m) generate electromagnetic interference. Move the product a few inches away from the probable cause, or move the probable cause a few inches away from the product, until the heart rate readings are accurate.
Heart rate reading is erratic or absent entirely. Belt transmitter electrodes are not wet enough to pick up accurate heart rate readings. Wet the belt transmitter electrodes (see Optional Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap).
Belt transmitter electrodes are not laying flat against the skin. Ensure the belt transmitter electrodes are laying flat against the skin (see Optional Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap).
Belt transmitter needs cleaning. Wash the belt transmitter with mild soap and water.
Belt transmitter is not within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the heart rate receiver. Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the heart rate receiver.
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap battery is depleted. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for instructions on how to have the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap replaced.
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap did not lock in with the heart rate receiver.

Make sure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is properly attached to the user’s chest and move closer to the heart rate receiver inside the console. Wait up to 10 seconds for the heart rate to display on the console. The overall range of the heart rate strap is approximately 3 ft. (0.9 m) after it communicates with the receiver. The strap must be 1.5 - 2 ft. (0.5 - 0.6 m) away from the receiver in order to start communicating. When the display shows a heart rate value stay within 3 ft. (0.9 m).

Notes:

  1. Ensure proper adherence of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap to user’s chest.
  2. Ensure proper conductivity between the electrodes and user’s chest.
  3. If needed, use the Polar watch to verify chest strap’s operation.
