The Club Settings program lets club owners limit the length of time allowed for a workout. When specifying a workout time, you can choose any time up to, but not longer than, this limit. For example, if the time limit is at 30 minutes, you can set a workout time from 2 to 30 minutes. You cannot specify a workout time longer than 30 minutes.

After you enter a workout time, the Goal Setting display “Your Goals Are” appears in the left window showing the target amounts you can achieve with the workout selected.

Note: We do not recommend exercising faster than the pacer since it is provided to help you work out. If you want a more difficult exercise session, select a different program or a higher effort level.
