- “More than 49 million people now run, up 12.6% in 2010 and up 57.4% over the last decade.” What does this mean to a fitness equipment buyer? Treadmills continue to be the staple of every fitness center. In fact, “The Treadmill is being used by 42.5% more Americans than it was in 2000”. Whether you’re looking for a high calorie burn incline hike, a walk with an engaging console that takes you outdoors, or a low impact run, Foundation Fitness has the treadmill to keep you up to speed.
- “The fastest rising piece of gym equipment is the elliptical trainer, which was used by 28.1 million people in 2010, up from 7.3 million in 2000.” Ellipticals are no longer optional or specialty items – they are expected. The Foundation Fitness elliptical offering ranges from traditional elliptical trainers to elliptical alternatives that allow the user to adjust the incline or set their own stride length for maximum calorie burn.
