...somewhat randomly - it always gives me the exact same figure, no matter what I've been doing. But in fairness, even the giant machines at the gym can very rarely find my heart beat, so I appreciate it for pretending it can! It reads my mum's just fine, so I assume that it's just me. The treadmilll does fold up and is advertised as such. Basically the actual treadmill can be lifted and secured to be right up against the top screens. It's a bit ominous at first when you screw it in place and we were constantly convinced that it was going to randomly fall down and kill the dog, but it's been a few months now and we are almost entirely confident in it's ability to not randomly murder passers by.

Perhaps it is the female predisposition for smaller butt that means blokes can?t actually get a look in! Irrespective of this apparent user guideline of being ?female?, the glute press is once again another exceptional mainstay of the Life Fitness Signature series. Before we go any further, lets take a look at who your buying from and what to expect from the Signature Series. (apologise to those who have read my previous reviews regarding this equipment, there is an element of repetition with regards to the history of life fitness and the signature series however I feel I have to leave this in to give new consumers a full account of this piece of equipment...
