New Integrity Treadmill 2016-2017

Designers: Paul M. Taylor, Internal Life Fitness Team, Life Fitness, Inc., Franklin Park, Illinois, USA
Manufacturer: Life Fitness, Inc., Franklin Park, Illinois, USA


The New Integrity Treadmill is a product for the commercial fitness market. It is the result of years of market and end-user research. It offers an intuitive and inviting experience for exercisers, and provides enhanced management opportunities for club owners. 

The visual elements strike a balance between robust and refined, communicating strength and durability without sacrificing style. The fine metal finishes, the use of contrasting texture and gloss details, and the elimination of visible fasteners elevate the design above the expected visual standard of fitness products. 

KEY FEATURES:

  • Incline and speed controls are large and positioned for easy engagement at high running speeds.  


Contact heart rate sensors are easily accessible without sacrificing the space needed for the natural arm swing of the user.

Extra wide, cushioned running surface gives the user plenty of room to run with minimal impact on the joints.

  • High Definition console displays a variety of workout options, including video of natural terrain for a virtual outdoor workout experience. Popular entertainment apps are integrated into the experience to give the user a variety of options.

  • Wireless connectivity allows the user to log in using a smart phone to set up customized workouts and track progress. Facility managers can track product usage information, and receive proactive service alerts and software updates to keep things running smoothly and to give the exerciser a consistent flow of new workout options.


Quick release shrouds make it possible for a service tech to gain access to key components in a matter of seconds. Shrouds can be put back into place without the use of tools.
