Elliptical programming for fitness clubs

2. Indoorwalking original Origin
The most used cardiovascular machines in a fitness centre are cross-trainers and treadmills, because of their natural upright
position.
The treadmill is mainly used to walk, in general for preventing the impact sensation.
Unfortunately, there are several cardio workouts which cannot be completed in the time and impact necessary for obtaining real
results.
The effectiveness of a dynamic low-impact program with a trainer and music is high, because it motivates users, especially
those who are not in a good physical condition.
New Members
Indoorwalking is a reason-able
investment which
provides a new successful
service; it is not about renew-ing
material but increasing
the passion and emotion of
users for a new type of group
workout.
Campaigns to attract new
members using Indoorwalk-ing
as a new service are very
successful.
Customer loyalty
Most of the members, who
stop training, leave the fit-ness
centres without having
obtained the desired results.
Both controlling weight and
feeling more energetic, are
the most common goals.
Indoorwalking has a direct
effect in these objectives; club
users who “get hooked” to the
program are people who do
not really like cardio-training
machines or individual
strength machines.
Indoorwalking improves re-tention
ratios of the centre in
the medium and long term.
Traffic
When it is necessary to
manage the traffic of users
in the centre, Indoorwalking
is an excellent tool.
During the busiest times
of the day.
To increase the interest in
the morning schedules.
For schedules in the
middle of the day with
30-minute short sessions.
Image
Usually it is important to
distinguish the center from
others with innovative
programs, which maintain a
good image of the activities
supply. Centers incorporating
indoorwalking observe that
a new “phenomenon” occurs
thanks to the fanatic users of
the program.
A new way of cardiovascular workout
Indoorwalking is the first group cardio workout program with music support and run on
Indoorwalkers ever presented to the fitness industry. The Indoorwalker is a purpose built cross-trainer
which incorporates a smooth and nice motion due to a new and revolutionary inertia
system. The Indoorwalker simulates the walking movement at different paces and a variety of
profiles and routes which in combination with music and a certified instructor will lead the us-ers
through a successful cardiovascular fitness session.
The creation and development of Indoorwalking occurred some years ago as a result of
critically observing cardiovascular workouts in fitness centres.

Continuous training Indoorwalking is a program

and the club can offer new programs, through which attracting and retaining members is possible.

4. Indoorwalker New Premium
Highly specialized equipment.
New regulation of poles
Poles are regulated in both height and rotation level. In the program, this is an essential qual-ity
feature to get maximum impact in the upper body and a truly customized training. The
latest system includes a rotator knob, which is intuitive, fast, consistent and adjustable from
the training position.
Minimum separation of the structure
In order to facilitate the maximum accessibility amongst the Indoorwalkers and to maximize
the available space, the separation of the structure is the minimum possible yet guaranteeing
perfect balance and the best performance of the set of inertias.
Regulation of handlebars in height and proximity
Customization of an Indoorwalking session is essential, so the handlebar can be regulated for
different types of users (in terms of height and transversal level). The Indoorwalker uses a revo-lutionary
system that simply allows the regulation with micro adjustments.
Inertia equilibrium
The Indoorwalker sets of inertias and weights have been designed to allow a nice sensation
during the workout session and to comply with all the biomechanical requirements; all this has
made Indoorwalking a great success.
Infomanagement system
The new Info-management system has all the elements that allow a real and customized con-trol
and management of data during walks or training sessions.
A design for anyone
The elegant combination of black and chrome colours, unlike red, yellow or orange, are
especially accepted by the users who are looking for less youthful yet more integrating fitness
workout.

5. Indoorwalking exclusive Room
Differentiate the centre by creating new spaces
An exclusive room for Indoorwalking generates a distinguished and extraordinary effect.
Around 3 to 6 daily classes mean a great return of investment on space and the users appreci-ate
the new service. With the virtual Indoorwalking trainer, a combination of real sessions
and virtual sessions can be a very profitable formula.
Cardiogroup, Indoorcycling-indoorwalking Room
Double cardiogroup in the same room
Centers with a large room for Indoorcycling can incorporate Indoorwalking in the same space.
In this way the centre takes advantage of the facilities already available doubling the usage.
In the Cardio Room
A Walkers club within the club
Fitness and cardio rooms are the main space in a fitness club. Placing Indoorwalking in the car-dio
or fitness room permits the design of an Indoorwalking corner which provides a dynamic
and working environment during the classes. When a session is over, the Indoorwalker multi-plies
the offer of the more demanded cardio equipment.
Combined circuit
Maximum versatility in a combined circuit
In this option, a strength equipment circuit is completed merging Indoorwalkers as cardio or
warm-up stations. It is placed in fitness rooms, being part of a circuit which allows multiple
uses.
Indoorwalking sessions with a central indoorwalker.
Cardio+strength circuit sessions.
Individual-use equipment in the room when there are no sessions.
Multifunctional room or group-classes studio
Easy to move equipment
Placing Indoorwalking in a Studio Room where the Indoorwalkers are moved in for classes and
later moved out, is a hit in many clubs. Moving around an Indoorwalker is smooth and easy
for anyone.
Space
One of the first decisions to make is the placement of the Indoorwalking program. Space
is a very precious resource at any fitness centre. It has to give the maximum return on
use and occupation during the day. The versatility and mobility of the Indoorwalkers
facilitates their re-location according to each type of centre.
