Chapter 4: Exercise

4.1: General Exercise Information

Intended Use

The intended commercial use of this machine is to aid exercise and improve general physical fitness. Multiple exercises can be performed using this product. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure exercisers understand general use and only perform recommended exercises that do not compromise the stability of the product or put the user as risk.

Prior to Exercise

Prior to starting a training program, get a complete physical exam to make sure your physician agrees that you are ready. Always warm-up your muscles before a workout. A cardio warm-up followed by stretching is typically recommended.

Start Your Program Conservatively

Choose weights you can easily lift in the first several weeks. Typically, a full range of motion is recommended, but consult a qualified professional if you have questions about whether a full range of motion is appropriate for you due to existing limitations, injury or discomfort. Injuries to health may result from incorrect or excessive training.

A “repetition” (rep) is defined as one complete movement through an exercise, returning to the start position. A “set” is a continuous series of reps, usually between 6-15. During your workout the number of reps you perform in a set depends on your goal. To build muscle and strength, often fewer reps (6 - 8) with heavier weight is recommended in each set. To build endurance, more reps (12-15) with lighter weight is typically recommended.

At the end of your workout, cool down in a similar way to your warm-up.

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 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.

Removal of Paint, Marking Pens, or Labels
  • Butyl cellosolve works well for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.
  • Labels, stickers, etc. may be removed using kerosene. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal. GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED.

Chapter 7: Bolt to Floor Guide

7.1: Introduction

Life Fitness designs its products to be stable when used as designed. Because strength training is dynamic, we cannot predict how users will ultimately use the products in all circumstances. Therefore, Life Fitness requires that strength training equipment be secured to a solid, level surface to stabilize and eliminate rocking or tipping over.

Each new unit shipped comes with a multi-language hangtag stating the importance of bolting the unit down as a safety precaution.

It is the facility’s responsibility to adhere to local and regional building codes.

Important: If the rack is required to be bolted to the floor, the four outside points get the anchors. If there are stability feet, the feet get the anchors.

7.2: Delivery and Installation Tips

All Anchors
  • Fasteners must have minimum embedment in concrete floor, not including screed, regardless of wood/tile/rubber over sub-floor. (See Anchor Types for maximum sub-floor thickness between unit and concrete to equipment foot must be made of flooring or other material (i.e. no air gaps)).
  • DO NOT reuse fasteners. Static and Dynamic anchors are designed for one-time use only.
  • Factor in equipment’s feet height when selecting fastener length.
  • Factor in flooring thickness when selecting fastener length.
  • It is also recommended to drill an additional 1/2” (12.7 mm) of depth beyond the length of the fastener being used to ensure that debris does not block the entry of the anchor.
  • Minimum concrete compressive strength: 3000 psi (20 N/mm2).
Anchoring
  • All anchors must have a minimum embedment into concrete, regardless of wood/tile/rubber/screed over sub-floor.
  • Dynamic anchors must have a minimum embedment depth in concrete to ensure maximum security and pull out force. See Anchor Types for embedment depth minimums.
Building Codes

It is the facility’s responsibility to adhere to local and regional building codes. Please verify with the customer to ensure that they are aware of this.

Carpeting

If bolted down to carpet flooring, be sure to use a box cutter knife to cut the carpet threads around each foot. This will help avoid the carpet threads from being wrapped around and pulled by the drill bit.

Competitor Product

The bolt down guidelines and procedures for Life Fitness products were determined by the company’s Engineering and Installation Development groups. These guidelines include which anchors to use and positioning of the anchors are required for Life Fitness product.

  • Life Fitness does not have that level of specification or engineering input for competitive product.
  • Life Fitness installation teams are not permitted to anchor competitor equipment.
Drilling

It is also recommended to drill an additional 1/2” (12.7 mm) of depth beyond the length of the fastener being used to ensure that debris does not block the entry of the anchor.

  • This can be done by marking your drill bit with a piece of tape.
  • While it is recommended that a vacuum be used to clean up debris, this will not account for all the debris that will settle at the bottom of the drilled hole.
