Designed with the way people exercise in mind, the Life Fitness Elevation Series 9ST treadmill is an intuitive, dynamic machine ensures maximum workout efficiency.

With 52 programmes and three console options, it's suitable for all users. Group indoor running classes are also gaining in popularity, while its low speed settings (right down to 0.8kph) mean it's perfect for cardiac rehab too.

The different console options provide great flexibility in workouts. For example, the speed interval programme allows a user to dictate the length and speed of each interval, as opposed to using pre-set intervals. Meanwhile the Virtual Trainer programme, available on the Engage and Inspire consoles, offers an on-screen trainer to motivate users.
