• SPOTTER ASSISTANCE

The Biocircuit format includes equipment that automatically adjusts to the user’s requirements, consoles that display programmes on each machine, flooring that guides users to the next station and a Unity Self dedicated kiosk where users start and finish their journey. This also keeps all the equipment synchronised.

The Biocircuit equipment range includes:

• BIOSTRENGTH
A complete range of up to nine pieces of strength equipment, including a motorised seat adjustment system for a fast and seamless setup

• RUN
With a dynamically adaptive running surface and fast track system, enabling users to adjust speed and incline on the fly
