Spirit Fitness e•Glide Trainers
Our passion has always been innovation that improves our customers’ experience. That is why our engineers and designers set out to create a completely new workout experience, which we call the e•Glide.
The challenge for our team was how to take this concept and create a full-body workout. Many years, samples, and designs later, we created the CG800 Commercial e•Glide, designed to work with indoor cycling classes. After the overwhelmingly positive response to the commercial e•Glide, we are excited to introduce the XG200 and XG400 e•Glides.
We hope you enjoy the “floating” experience you will get from our patent-pending direct drive system, and that you notice how the motion of the e•Glide eliminates the uncomfortable bobbing up and down typical of so many other brands of elliptical trainers.
Patent-Pending Direct Drive System
Our exclusive patent-pending Direct Drive System offers the smoothest possible motion on the market. The flywheel mounts on the same drive axle as the cranks and is directly driven by the pedals through our patented transmission system. This allows the inertia of the flywheel to constantly be connected to the pedals, which provides the smoothest feel possible in both forward and reverse pedaling directions. The combination of our Direct Drive System along with balancing the precise weight of our pedal arms, dual-action handlebars, foot pedal angle, and stride length, offers the perfect formula to assure the smoothest workout motion. This motion creates what we call the “floating” effect. Once you reach a certain RPM, you start to “float” and feel the smoothest possible motion. Once you try a Spirit Fitness e•Glide Trainer, we are confident that you will agree it is the smoothest piece of fitness equipment to help you achieve your fitness goals.
Dual Wheels
All Spirit Fitness e•Glide Trainers come with dual wheels on aluminum extruded tracks. Our custom-designed dual concave wheels give each pedal twice the support of a single wheel, which translates into a more stable pedaling motion. Combine this with our aircraft-quality T6069 extruded aluminum wheel track and you get the smoothest and most stable trainer on the market.
The Two-Degree Difference
Spirit Fitness e•Glide Trainers have an integrated two-degree inward tilt to make your workout more comfortable. This exclusive design puts you in a more ergonomically correct position. Two degrees may not sound like much, but this is an example of where the spirit of innovation makes for a better workout experience. This small but critical detail is only one example of what separates the Spirit Fitness e•Glide Trainers from their competitors.
Built to Last
We have one of the best warranties in the industry because we have been building fitness products for over thirty years. All of that experience gives us the understanding of what happens to fitness products not just after two years or five years, but ten to fifteen to twenty years. We still hear from satisfied customers who have been using their Spirit Fitness products for decades.
We combine the highest quality components with years of engineering experience and then assemble them in our own ISO 9001 factories (International Organization for Standardization. Standard 9001 is a quality management system to help ensure the factory produces quality products).
The Spirit of Innovation
As with any product, a major key is the user interface. Whether it is your cell phone, car, or fitness equipment, you want to quickly be able to use it and get the information that is important to you. We focused on this simple principle in the development of our new consoles.
A quick press of a button and you are off on a walk or a run, or one of the many specialized workouts. Some models even allow you to develop your own programs. Our large, easy-to-read consoles give you constant feedback from calories to distance to time. There are even separate displays for heart rate and muscle activation.
Muscle Activation
It’s important to understand which muscle groups are gaining the most benefit during your workout. On our e•Glides, you will be using your glute (bottom), hamstring (back of your thigh), quad (thigh), calf, pec and arm muscles. The LED lights (XG400) will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents minimal involvement, Amber medium involvement, and Red, full or heavy involvement. Use this quick reference to challenge yourself during your workout.
Music & Air Conditioning
We have integrated into most of our consoles a set of audio speakers. Simply plug in your choice of MP3 player or cell phone (adapter cord provided) and you can enjoy your favorite music to keep you going the extra mile. We’ve also built a swivel fan into most of our consoles to keep you a little cooler.
Heart Rate % Profile
Heart Rate training is proven to be one of the best ways to measure your workout. Our Heart Rate % Profile gives you a quick reference of your % compared to maximum projected heart rate. This is determined by your age, which you entered during the programming phase of any of the programs. The LED lights up in Amber for 50-60%, Green for 65% to 80%, and Red for 85%+. This is a quick reference for you to gauge your workout.
Easy-to-use Consoles
All of the consoles on our e•Glide Trainers are easy to use and easy to read. Our XG400 console even tilts up to ten degrees for the perfect viewing angle. Our dual-action handlebars have a long padded grip so you can find the most comfortable position, and all of the e•Glide Trainers have a hand brake so you can quickly stop the flywheel. The contact heart rate grips on our XG200 and XG400 are perfectly positioned to keep you in the proper ergonomic position during your workout.
