Let us introduce you to your virtual fitness coaches

The recent gym refurbishments at our Grand Central and Stockport Sports Village hubs have expanded our iFIT offering, allowing us to bring this new era of fitness technology to more people across Stockport.

Our new Freemotion bikes and treadmills equipped with interactive iFIT coach-led software offer a whole new workout experience. Gone are the days of simply pressing quick start and mindlessly moving through your routine. Now, you can engage in stimulating, personalised training sessions that motivate, challenge, and drive you toward your goals.

One of the standout features of the iFIT cardio equipment is the access to a vast library of interactive, coach-led workouts. Professional trainers guide you through every session, providing real-time instructions and motivation. Whether you’re cycling through the scenic routes of the French Alps or running along the beaches of Hawaii, the immersive video and audio create an engaging and exhilarating workout environment.

Engaging in structured programs, as opposed to pressing quick start and hoping for the best, could help you see changes to your progress and mindset in various ways. Let’s explore:

Motivation and accountability

Starting a workout can sometimes feel like a daunting task, especially when you’re left to your own devices. iFIT’s structured programs provide a sense of purpose and direction. With a coach guiding you and a clear program to follow, you’re more likely to stay motivated and committed to your fitness journey. Let the equipment do the thinking for you, leaving you to put more effort into the movements.

Variety and engagement

The quick start option can quickly become dull, watching the clock ticking with nothing but your thoughts to entertain your mind while your body works. This can lead to workout fatigue and plateaus as the mind gives up before the body. iFIT’s diverse range of programs, including interval training, hill climbs, and endurance sessions, with hundreds of stunning scenic routes to explore, keeps your workouts fresh and exciting. This variety not only enhances your physical fitness but also keeps you mentally engaged.

The new iFIT bikes and treadmills at Life Leisure Grand Central and Stockport Sports Village  both offer a range of features designed to enhance your gym experience. With adjustable resistance levels and ergonomic design, these new bikes provide a comfortable and effective workout. iFIT treadmills incline and decline settings simulate real-world terrain, adding an extra layer of challenge and realism to your runs. The interactive screens bring the coach-led sessions to life, making each workout an adventure.

The introduction of iFIT cardio equipment, alongside numerous other investments, at our hubs marks a significant improvement to your health and wellbeing experience at Life Leisure. Ditch the quick start button on your next visit and unlock a world of personalised, engaging, and effective workouts.

iFIT cardio equipment available at: Life Leisure Grand Central, Houldsworth Village, Hazel Grove, Romiley and Stockport Sports Village. (with hopes to add more hubs to this list in the future!)
