Awards: GOOD DESIGN Platinum, Home Fitness Best Elliptical on the Market Design Innovation Award
Project Description: Fitness & Recreation

Design Team: Cesaroni Design & Life Fitness

Cesaroni Design and Life Fitness received recognition and earned numerous design awards for this cardio fitness machine, including a Good Design award, Design Innovation for Best Consumer Product from Health and Fitness Business Magazine, Platinum from Consumers Digest Magazine, and Best Elliptical on the Market from Smart Money Magazine.

The design language exposes the motion of this cardio machine. This revealed welded steel frame gives the user more freedom of movement. The bared moving joints of the machine express simplicity and durability.

The product is sized to fit the highest and lowest percentage of the population. The arms are redesigned and adjusted to a wider angle. A bullhorn handlebar also adds stabilization during mounting and dismounting. All grip areas are over-molded rubber surfaces to ensure comfort during workouts.

Close attention was paid to the over-size foot pedals. Research concluded that the closer the pedals are to one another, the more natural the movement. This reduces stress and injury that typically occurs to the hips and lower back.

The frame is pared down to reduce disassemble time in the event of repair or maintenance. Smaller and lighter weight shrouds also make for ease of serviceability.
