Introduction

Congratulations . . . and thank you for purchasing a Lifecycle® 9500HR aerobic trainer. Your new Life Fitness aerobic trainer is the most versatile exercise bike ever developed. The culmination of over 20 years of Life Fitness research, technological innovation and engineering expertise. Lifecycle exercise bikes are recognized the world over as the most popular and advanced of computerized stationary bicycles.

Like other Life Fitness products, the Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer offers you a host of exclusive features designed to help you achieve your fitness goals faster and with greater enjoyment. Industry-standard workout programs, an array of up-to-the- second visual feedback, and the new Fat Burn and Cardio heart rate management programs are just a few of the benefits you’ll enjoy on your Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer.

Why use a Life Fitness aerobic trainer? Aerobic training on a Lifecycle 9500HR exercise bike is more than just a great workout. The Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer has a springless, padded seat and biomechanically superior position, including variable-ergonomic handlebars which allow users a greater variety of body positions, thus assuring a more comfortable workout.

The state-of-the-art wireless telemetry heart rate monitoring system makes the new Cardio and Fat Burn programs the most effective workouts available on any aerobic trainer. Or, if you prefer, you can still use the Lifepulse digital heart rate sensors. And with features like the Race mode, Fit Test and level 0 resistance option that is almost 25% easier than the level 1 found on earlier editions of the classic Lifecycle aerobic trainer, you’ll be much more likely to stick with your exercise plan and accomplish your goals.
