“An exciting way for clubs to increase their group cycling classes with members who find upright bikes uncomfortable and hard to use.”
Cascade Health and Fitness is introducing the first recumbent exercise bike that can be used effectively for group cycling classes. The new CMXRT™ was showcased at the recent Athletic Business Conference in Orlando, Florida.
“Just think of all the fitness enthusiasts who use recumbent exercise bikes but don’t take classes because they find upright bikes too uncomfortable and hard to use, “ said John Post, the company president. “Now there’s a new way to get these members excited about group cycling.”
The CMXRT innovation is a fixed gear design that creates a smooth pedal stroke with 16 levels of magnetic resistance that can be easily adjusted by users to be compatible with performance-driven indoor classes. Using the CMXRT manual/spinmode setting, traditional cycling class components like hill climbs, interval training and cardiovascular measurement can all be accomplished by recumbent cyclists – letting them enjoy the fun, energy and camaraderie of group cycling.
CMXRT features include:
• A commercial quality, low maintenance design
• Manual/Spinmode and 10 workout programs
• Smooth magnetic bi-directional resistance
• Fixed gear drive for a better pedal stroke
• Comfortable reclining adjustable seat
• Easy step through frame design
• Contact and wireless heart rate
The CMXRT is also great for rehab use – as resistance can be set at a very low speed (less than 15 RPM). Outside of group exercise classes, traditional recumbent bike users find the new CMXRT adjustable seat extremely comfortable. Smooth, quiet bi-directional resistance also lets cyclists pedal forward and backwards throughout the whole 360-degree pedal stroke for a more effective workout.
