The materials can be recycled as per their symbols. Through the reuse, recycling of materials or other forms of recovery of old equipment, you make an important contribution to the protection of the environment.

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES

To make your training experience even more efficient and pleasant, we recommend that you add suiting accessories to your fitness equipment. This could be a floor mat, for example, which makes your fitness equipment stand more securely and also protects the floor from falling sweat, but it could also be additional handrails on some treadmills or silicone spray to keep moving parts in good shape.
If you have purchased a fitness machine with pulse training and want to train your heart rate, we strongly recommend that you use a compatible chest strap, as this ensures optimum transmission of the heart rate. You may want to buy additional grips or weights for multi gyms.
