3G Cardio displayed its award-winning line of treadmills, exercise bikes, stair steppers and vibration trainers during the annual International Health and Racquet Sports Association (IHRSA) Convention & Trade Show at the L.A. Convention Center March 6-8.

The IHRSA convention gave reps from retail companies the chance to check out 3G Cardio products, such as the award-winning Elite Runner X and Pro Runner X Treadmills, along with the Elite RB X Recumbent and Elite UB Upright Bikes. 3G Cardio also displayed the Elite EM X Elliptical Trainer and Elite VS X Vertical Stair Stepper.

We were also able to demonstrate the newly released FreeSync™ with FTMS Bluetooth exclusively offered by 3G Cardio. We tell our customers BYOS™ = Bring Your Own Screen!

FreeSync™ allows people to turn their tablet or mobile device into a fully interactive electronic display for our equipment for free using FTMS Bluetooth.

Many fitness equipment manufacturers try to lock you into a monthly recurring subscription fee, which can cost upwards of $40 a month (5 years = $2400).  If you choose not to enroll in the monthly membership, you may not have access to any built-in programs and virtually zero data.  In fact, some brands will only display speed and time on the screen.  Ridiculous.  Not to mention that if the embedded screen fails then you are out of luck!  Your fitness equipment is dead.

Thanks to FreeSync™, our customers have no monthly subscription fees (for most apps) and practically unlimited options for programs to sync with.

3G Cardio sales reps were able to get the lay of the land for the light commercial fitness market and demonstrate where it can fit in as far as quality and price point.

We hear fairly often that there aren’t a lot of middle ground products available for light commercial fitness equipment: better than department store / online bargain models but not priced sky high like full-blown, heavy duty commercial gym machines. 

When it comes to the light commercial “vertical market” – gyms in apartment complexes, condos, hotels, fire departments, HOAs, smaller private gyms / studios – 3G Cardio was able to open lots of new eyes to our highly rated equipment. 

The IHRSA show has been called the “Super Bowl” of commercial fitness shows, but there aren’t any trade shows to showcase personal gym or small commercial gym equipment.

“With retailers such as Amazon, Costco and Walmart, there are fewer brick and mortar retailers today,” 3G Cardio said in a statement. “If we want to meet with the retailers, the IHRSA show is a great opportunity to support the local specialty brick and mortar fitness retailers across the country!

“It was a great opportunity to meet with a lot of the dealers in our industry and show them we’re the best of both worlds for that middle market: we’re light commercial and we’re top-of-the line for home gyms.”

3G Cardio products are already carried by many leading retailers across the country, available on Amazon and at 3GCardio.com.

And, after a strong showing at the IHRSA show, expect to see 3G Cardio equipment at even more locations nationwide.
