Pulley Output Ratio
Leveraging the power of physics, we’ve tailored our pulley output ratio for optimal training. Take our butterfly machines: a 2:1 ratio means a 70kg weight selection delivers a 35kg training load. This higher ratio enhances your workout and saves on weight plate costs.

- Adjustable parts
Speed Settings
Machines with a variety of speed settings will adapt better as the user’s form improves. The range is 0-12 for commercial cardio machines.
Motor
A high-capacity motor is an advantage for commercial cardio machines. Choose one that runs cooler & quieter than others.
Weight Capacity
Cardio machines mimic outdoor activities like walking, running, etc. This means that they will support all the user’s weight.
Choose a machine with a higher weight capacity.
Workout options
Pre-programmed workout options keep the users engaged. They also help to build muscle strength & stamina.
Size
Commercial cardio equipment is not one size fits all. Equipment like treadmills & ellipticals take up space but maybe foldable.
Exercise bikes, step machines, etc. are more compact.
Resistance Level
In simple terms, you are working out against resistance when using cardio equipment. If there was no resistance, there will be no benefit.
No matter how much you walk, run or pedal.
Higher resistance makes the workout difficult. This will make you spend more energy. Leading to stronger muscles & stamina.
Adjustable Parts
Adjustable parts like seat, foot rest, height, etc. make commercial cardio equipment adaptable.
Users of different sizes & builds are able to work out on the same machine.
