Embracing Sustainability

The Future of Fitness Facilities  
By Laura Cohen June 03, 2025

As a facility owner or manager, you’re at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry where sustainability and operational efficiency are no longer just buzzwords. Today, they have become critical business requirements vital to the implementation of a successful operational strategy. The integration of energy-efficient fitness equipment like our Symbio™ cardio line is not just a smart financial move. It's a critical step that you can deploy to align your operations with the broader societal focus on environmental responsibility. Let’s take a closer look at how these transformative energy-saving technologies can be put to work for your facility.  

Making An Impact on Operational Costs  

Energy Efficiency as a Competitive Advantage:  

We won’t be surprised to learn that you worry about energy consumption when your facility is running multiple pieces of equipment for extended hours each day. This clearly has an impact on longevity and of course operational costs. 

We know this is a serious concern for you, which is why we continue to focus on improving the experience. With the latest Symbio cardio line, Life Fitness has moved the ball forward, ushering in more energy-efficient cardio equipment vs. what has traditionally been available. Symbio offers up to 22% energy savings using brushless DC motors and optimized power factor correction technology. That means savings to your bottom line which can help increase profitability. For your Director of Finance, this means more funds can be allocated to other critical areas such as marketing, staff training, or facility upgrades.  

Hybrid is Not Just for Cars anymore:  

Another fantastic feature that will help you reduce the reliance on external power sources is Symbio’s Hybrid Mode – which is currently offered on our Symbio™ Incline Elliptical, Symbio SwitchCycle® and Symbio™ Recumbent Cycle. This feature allows each machine to use the mechanical energy generated by the user to power the equipment – and yes, that means when someone is using a machine, they’re actually helping to power it!  In fact, in many cases, the energy generated by the user can be enough to completely power the machine’s console and base, which minimizes the need to pull power from the electrical socket it’s plugged into. This reduces electrical consumption and makes the equipment in your facility more sustainable and profitable – you're saving money with Symbio. 

Sustainability: The New Business Imperative  

Reducing Your Carbon Footprint:  

Energy-efficient equipment helps lower your facility's carbon footprint. When machines like our Symbio (TM) line consume less electricity, it's not hard to quickly realize the impact deploying our products can have on helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions - aligning perfectly with your green initiatives and promoting the importance of eco-friendly practices. Your commitment to sustainability is not just a moral imperative; it's a strategic move that resonates with today's environmentally conscious consumers and that can really help your facility stand out. 

Compliance and Beyond:  

Your adoption of green practices positions your facility as a leader in sustainability, attracting environmentally conscious customers and partners. Investing in energy-efficient equipment like Symbio™ could help you avoid potential fines and penalties associated with environmental regulations. Prioritizing sustainability helps you build a stronger, more positive brand image for your facility because today’s eco-conscious consumers place high priority on utilizing products and services that do so. By showcasing your commitment to environmental responsibility, you’re better able to differentiate vs. competitors that don’t. Sustainability is no longer a trend; it's a movement that is here to stay. Embrace it, and you can catapult to the forefront of the industry. 

The Strategic Advantage  

Get to know Life Fitness’s new energy-efficient fitness equipment like our Symbio™ premium cardio line. This is more than a tactical decision for your facility, it's also a strategic move that aligns with your broader organizational goals of sustainability and operational excellence.  

By choosing Life Fitness’s advanced energy-efficient solutions, you can:   

  • Save on electricity: these features help reduce the overall energy consumptions of your equipment  
  • Reduce operational costs: lower power consumption means reduced electricity expenses for your facility  
  • Enhance the exercisers experience: by incorporating the Symbio cardio line into your facility, you’ll not only create a more sustainable operation, but you’ll also offer a modern, high-quality workout experience that can keep exercisers coming back for more.  

Let's explore together how you can leverage energy-efficient solutions. Let's create spaces that inspire and contribute to a greener future. Contact us today and let’s collaborate on how you can maximize the benefits.
