SCIFIT launches new IFI accredited treadmill

In addition to their IFI accredited PRO1 Upper Body, PRO2 Total Body and ISO7000R Recumbent Bike, SCIFIT has announced the launch of their new IFI accredited treadmill.

SCIFIT treadmills feature low starting speeds, large user capacity and a comfortable, oversized walking surface. With Inclusive Fitness Initiative accreditation at Stage 2, the new AC5000 IFI model has all the same features as the standard AC5000 treadmill together with full-length side handrails and treadmill step supplied as standard for extra stability and support. The running boards of the treadmill have non-slip rubber and are outlined in yellow as an additional IFI feature to assist users with a visual impairment. The yellow outlined emergency stop button also delivers added safety for the user and peace of mind for the facility owner.

Bob Whitlock, UK sales director for SCIFIT says: "The new IFI accredited treadmill is the perfect addition to our IFI range. "Together with the two PRO Series models and the recumbent bike we are offering a total body solution for a truly inclusive cardio workout.

"The IFI models deliver an equally effective workout for both disabled and non-disabled users alike and can offer the smaller facility a complete solution or integrate alongside other machines within an existing facility." The AC5000 IFI Treadmill is available to order from SCIFIT UK now.
