For athletes of all levels, training on the ergometer primarily means cardio training. The ergometer offers beginners a good introduction to regular endurance training. Performance-oriented athletes simply adapt the training time and intensity to their own performance standard. But the ergometer is also an excellent training device after an operation or with health restrictions. This versatility makes the ergometer a basic piece of equipment in every fitness room.
A wide range of models can be found on the market. Leading manufacturers such as Precor, Life Fitness, Hammer Strengt, NOHrD and Vision Fitness produce ergometers for almost every budget and every area of application. Finding the perfect ergometer from this large selection is not that easy. That's why our guide explains what you should consider when choosing.
The daily usage time
The new fitness room in your company will not usually be used around the clock. FirmFit therefore recommends semi-professional ergometers. These are designed for 4 hours of daily use. Naturally, the ergometers are manufactured to a high standard and provide your employees with a great training experience. Durable bearings and high-quality materials guarantee low-maintenance operation.
If the utilization of the new fitness room is particularly high, professional ergometers will pay off in the long term. For a small surcharge, you will receive training equipment in top studio quality that can really withstand enormous loads. Durability and ergonomics are paramount, only the highest quality materials are used and the workmanship is excellent. Ready for training around the clock.
The console
Standard consoles display training duration, distance and calories burned. In addition, the heart rate is measured so that the training takes place in the correct heart rate zone. That may be enough, but training is more fun with the right entertainment. Premium manufacturers offer consoles with high-resolution displays for movies, TV, social media and many other apps. Each manufacturer installs its own interactive training programs that make training more varied and challenging.
FirmFit also offers attractive financing options such as lease purchase. You pay a monthly installment for as long as you use the equipment and not the full purchase price upfront.
