Innovation in the cardio equipment space is competitive and it can be hard to differentiate between brands with a similar price point. The new Symbio™ range from Life Fitness Australia, however, has really shaken up the market with an array of exciting new features. The team from What’s New in Fitness were impressed with the Symbio™ Runner treadmill on exhibition at the 2024 AusFitness Trade Show in Sydney and now the rest of the Symbio™ family have been officially launched into the Australian market. Let’s take a closer look at the new standard in premium cardio equipment from Life Fitness.

Introducing The Symbio Series Premium Cardio Line
Life Fitness Australia has long been a leader in the commercial fitness equipment landscape. The brand aims to cater to varying needs and budgets in both strength and cardio product lines, including the entry level Aspire series of cardio equipment and the higher end Integrity Plus range.
Symbio™ represents a groundbreaking cardio collection that raises the bar for premium level exercise equipment. The four-machine lineup consists of the Runner, Switchcycle, Incline Elliptical and Recumbent Cycle. Thoughtful engineering and luxurious design combined with advanced biomechanics delivers a personalised, multisensory experience. Life Fitness Australia described the Symbio range;
Each machine in the collection was meticulously designed with our biomechanical engineering team to provide a new twist to each category. Building on our heritage of being students of the body and creating equipment that feels natural for all bodies and levels of exercise, Symbio delivers new cutting-edge technologies that personalise comfort, improve workout performance, and add workout versatility.
These features are integrated with engaging content and analytics to create a rich, multi-sensory experience.
The team at Life Fitness Australia have thought of every detail, including 16 Smart Lighting colour options to give that personalised workout experience as well as five different premium aluminium finishes to blend seamlessly with your branding.

Features of the Symbio Runner Treadmill
The Symbio Runner™ is a new benchmark in treadmill design. The Adaptive Flex Deck® technology allows the user to change the level of suspension to give the experience of running on different surfaces and interactive terrains. There are five levels to choose from, providing a natural running experience that gives the feel of running on a grass surface through to concrete – and everything in between. For users who enjoy geeking out over metrics, the Symbio Runner offers the usual data as well as cadence, heart rate, ground contact time and any difference in force between right and left leg.
For fitness business owners with a designated running room, this machine can provide challenging and exciting sessions for small groups as well as bringing the ultimate indoor running experience to individuals training in the facility.

A New Benchmark For Premium Cardio Equipment
The Symbio series is packed with features to delight users. The Incline Elliptical, for example, allows for the user to adjust the incline angle, allowing targeted training of different muscle groups. By selecting an area of the body on the intuitive console, the machine will adjust the angle to activate the desired muscle group during the workout. The patented incline ellipse, along with ergonomically designed handles and convex FlexForm pedals mean users will get to enjoy a natural running movement minus the impact.
