Bluetooth Connectivity

Adjusting Incline Levels

The unit offers 3 incline levels to vary the intensity of your workout. To adjust, carefully lift the rear support bar and reposition it into one of the three available slots. Ensure the bar is securely seated before beginning your workout.

Adjusting Resistance

Customize your workout intensity using the adjustable resistance knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase resistance for a more challenging workout, and counter-clockwise to decrease resistance. The magnetic resistance system provides smooth and quiet operation.
