The stars at a Life Fitness photo shoot tend to be the equipment. Gleaming strength machines in custom colors buffed to a high shine and technically dazzling cardio equipment housed in custom-built sets.
The photographer is laser-focused on lighting every angle perfectly. Every so often, he will ask a genetically gifted individual to step into the scene - the model.
We work with two types of models: fashion models and fitness models.

What is biomechanics and why does it matter for your workout?
Biomechanics is the study of human movement. Biomechanists view the human body as a collection of levers, made of bones which are moved by your muscles. By improving the mechanics of a person’s motion, performance can become more efficient, thus improving speed or accuracy.
These principles have been used to lessen wear and tear on joints in major league pitchers, increase the strength and speed of Olympic athletes, as well as improve the ambulation of cerebral palsy patients.

Here at Life Fitness we’ve seen a dangerous trend developing around the world that is a serious threat to public safety: texting and running.
At gyms all over the world text – tweet – and email-addicts are glued to their phones while running at a steady 5.2 mph on the treadmill. It’s multi-tasking spiraling out of control. Maybe you’re that person.
I’ll admit that a near brush with death while answering an email mid-stride was the inspiration for this post.
Lauren thought she was cool, invincible and well-coordinated.
