The Symbio SwitchCycle®

The fitness industry is undergoing a major transformation, and as a facilities manager, you’re leading the charge for this exciting change. While there are many innovations in fitness equipment, our Symbio SwitchCycle® is truly a game-changer. It delivers a versatile 2-in-1 cycling experience that seamlessly combines traditional upright cycling with the high-performance dynamics of an indoor cycle, offering your members an unmatched workout whether they’re in or out of the saddle. Ideal for premium facilities, the SwitchCycle optimizes space, boosts member engagement, and provides personalized performance, making it the perfect choice for cyclists of all levels.  

A Versatile Solution Cyclers Can Enjoy  

The Symbio SwitchCycle combines all the benefits of a traditional upright bike with those found on an indoor cycling bike to create a whole new delivery system for endurance training and high-intensity workouts. Gone are the days of deciding which to use. Now, members, no matter if they are seasoned cyclists or just beginning their cardio fitness journey, can experience 100 resistance levels, interactive terrains that stimulate real-world cycling environments, and OnDemand+ content that enables workouts to become more personalized.  Add to that the ability to easily switch between seated and out-of-saddle riding and the Symbio SwitchCycle quickly becomes a tool to eliminate monotony while keeping motivational levels at their peak. Train on!  

Setting A New Standard: Smart Adjustability and Comfort  

Another great feature that sets our Symbio SwitchCycle apart from other fitness equipment is its intentional design and biomechanics, offering maximum comfort, smart adjustability, and a seamless cycling experience. Key features like the dual-pedal system offer your members a choice between traditional pedal cages and SPD clip-in pedals. Combined with high-performance cranks and an ergonomic design, these features allow for smooth transitions between different cycling modes, ensuring that your members can maintain proper form throughout their workout.  

Smart sensors provide on-console position recommendations for seat and handlebars based on the user's height, allowing users to adjust while seated so they can ensure they have optimal comfort and endurance. The goal is to maximize comfort which allows users to maintain clear focus on their workouts, which for you can lead to higher satisfaction and retention rates.  

A Deeper Dive: Comparing Traditional Bikes to the Symbio SwitchCycle  

Traditional upright bikes are excellent for endurance training, offering a steady-state workout that builds cardiovascular fitness over time. However, they often lack the versatility needed for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and out-of-saddle performance. Indoor cycling bikes, on the other hand, are designed for intense workouts but may not provide the comfort and adjustability required for longer sessions.  

Benefits for the Exerciser  

• Enhanced Performance: The high-performance cranks and dual-pedal system allow users to switch between different cycling modes while maintaining proper form throughout their cardio workout. Additionally, the integration of Advanced Performance Metrics enables cycling enthusiasts to keep track of their workout with real-time data, optimizing their performance and achieving their fitness goals more effectively.  

• Personalized Comfort: Adjustable handlebars and seat ensure optimal comfort and endurance. Additionally, smart sensors provide on-console position recommendations based on height, further enhancing the user’s experience and comfort.   

• Interactive Workouts: OnDemand+ content and interactive terrains provide personalized workout experiences, keeping users engaged and motivated.  

Benefits for the Facility Manager  

For facility managers, our SwitchCycle offers numerous benefits that go beyond its impressive features. Life Fitness designed our SwitchCycle as an all-in-one solution that replaces the need for multiple upright and indoor cycling bikes. The adaptability of this machine makes it a valuable addition to any fitness facility looking to attract and retain members. Here’s the inside scoop:  

• Space Optimization: The 2-in-1 design maximizes floor space, allowing facilities to offer a diverse range of cycling experiences without needing multiple machines.  

• Cost Efficiency: By combining the features of both upright and indoor cycling bikes, the SwitchCycle reduces the need for multiple purchases, lowering overall costs.

• Member Engagement: The versatile and engaging workout options can keep members motivated and satisfied, leading to higher retention rates. Additionally, the possibility to track real-time data from workouts further enhances member engagement by providing valuable insights and feedback on their performance.
