01 Apr Play Ball! 3G Cardio fitness lineup built for success

Our Treadmills, bikes, vibration machines match up with best fitness companies in the industry

By AARON DORKSEN – 3G Cardio Fitness Editor

Major League Baseball teams across the league are celebrating Opening Day this week.

Ball clubs are getting their first look at their starting lineups when the games actually count, while fans are hoping “this is the year” for their teams.

Of course, there are never any guarantees in sports, no matter how good something looks written down on paper.

However, 3G Cardio can make a guarantee about our fitness equipment: Our treadmills, exercise bikes and vibration machines are among the best of the best in the industry.

Based out of Phoenix, Ariz., the 3G Cardio Company has garnered numerous Best Buy and 5-star awards because of their rare combination of quality and value.

TREADMILLS

The 3G Cardio Fitness Lineup is led by a “Big Four” of best-selling treadmills, which have been extremely popular on review sites and amazon.com.

The 3G Cardio Elite Runner Treadmill delivers health club quality at an unbeatable price. If you are looking to save even more money, or are tight on space, it’s tough to beat the space saver lineup of the 3G Cardio Pro Runner, 3G Cardio 80i and 3G Cardio Lite Runner Treadmills. They are all built extremely sturdy, but take up small areas and can be folded up for storage.

*The 3G Cardio Elite Runner Treadmill (MSRP $3,399, check 3GCardio.com for current sale prices) is a full-size, commercial quality machine that sells for thousands less than comparable models.

It’s 3G’s biggest and best model, taking up a footprint of 84 inches (length) x 35 1-2 (width). The Elite Runner has a 22-inch x 62 running surface that features an upgraded Ortho Flex Shock suspension system, a 12-mph max speed powered by a 4.0 HP motor, outstanding entertainment and programming options and one of the best warranties in the category.

*The 3G Cardio Pro Runner Treadmill (MSRP $1,899, check 3GCardio.com for current sale prices) is in the middle as far as price and size goes, but offers outstanding performance.

The Pro Runner needs a space of 74 x 35 in your home, office or wherever else you choose to set it up. It has a 20-inch x 58 folding running surface and also features the upgraded Ortho Flex Shock suspension system. It also has a 12 mph max speed and is powered by a 3.0 HP motor, while also featuring great entertainment, fitness testing and programming options.

Most folding treadmills lack the quality construction needed to run at higher speeds or longer distances, but that is not the case with the Pro Runner Treadmill.

*The 3G Cardio 80i Fold Flat Treadmill (MSRP $1,799, check 3GCardio.com for current sale prices) is great for people who want a treadmill to run on, but don’t have a lot of space. Its footprint measures just 74 x 33. The 80i Fold Flat Treadmill is the best “under the bed tread” to get a good running workout on.

*The 3G Cardio Lite Runner Treadmill ($999) is a small, compact and extremely well built treadmill. It feels like a machine you would use in the gym.  The frame and handlebars are very solid and surprisingly stable for a treadmill at this price point. Its footprint measures 67 x 29.75 with a height of 52.5.

EXERCISE BIKES

Whether you prefer upright bikes or recumbent bikes, 3G Cardio has you covered when it comes to high-end indoor exercise bikes at a reasonable price. Comfort is King with both the 3G Cardio Elite RB Recumbent Bike and 3G Cardio Elite UB Upright Bike.

Recumbent bikes are generally considered to be more comfortable than an upright bike, but they are both excellent options.

*The 3G Cardio Elite RB Recumbent Bike (MSRP $1,499) has been called “the most comfortable recumbent bike ever built.” It’s a small and compact bike, but it’s also extremely sturdy and durable with a 3-way adjustable mesh back seat rest.

One of the features that people love most about the 3G Cardio Elite RB Recumbent Bike is the Q factor pedal spacing, which can accommodate users of all sizes.

Most recumbent bikes have the fly wheel under the pedals, which requires a wide space. However, the 3G recumbent bike has the fly wheel under the seat, so the width between the pedals can be more narrow and provide better comfort.

*The 3G Cardio Elite UB Upright Bike (MSRP $999 ) has a heavy duty steel reinforced upright column to provide strength and stability. A compact step-through frame allows users to get on and off the bike with ease. An oversized, fully adjustable seat provides optimal comfort and stability.

Both 3G Cardio exercise bikes have transport wheels and can be easily moved from room to room with the built-in transport handles. The bikes also come with heart straps compatible for wireless heart rate monitoring, and have an integrated SmartFan for keeping you cool.

Small upper electronics displays makes it easy to see over and around and best of all, you can watch a TV on the wall.

Both bikes have outstanding residential warranties: Lifetime guarantee on frame, 7 Years parts warranty and 1 year in home labor.
You will look forward to using these exercise bikes day after day.

VIBRATION MACHINES

When it comes to vibration training, the 3G Cardio 6 AVT ($3,999) and 5 AVT Vibration machines ($2,999) offer great value for their price points. The award-winning 3G Cardio AVT vibration machines can give users strength training and cardio benefits. Accelerated vibration training, also known as whole body vibration training, allows people to have the best of both worlds.

You can improve your muscle tone, physique and even overall health while performing AVT in less time and often with better results than through traditional exercise methods.

A recent article from bulletproofexec.com explained the numerous benefits of vibration training. It pointed out that athletes such as Rafeal Nadal, Serena Williams, Olympian Rebecca Romero, and the whole NFL Broncos team get an extra edge through WBV Training.

Obviously, most people are nowhere close to being elite athletes, but vibration training can help improve just about anyone’s fitness and health.

“Whole Body Vibration Training boosts your fitness, strength, tone, strength, flexibility, bone density, and range of motion all in a time-efficient manner,” Bulletproofexec.com reported. “Like 15 minutes. That is what I call a fitness hack!”
