7 RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
To make your training experience even more ecient and pleasant, we recommend that you add
suiting accessories to your tness equipment. This could be a oor mat, for example, which makes
your tness equipment stand more securely and also protects the oor 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 tness 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.
Our range of accessories oers the highest quality and makes training even better. If you would like
to nd out more about compatible accessories, please go to the detail page of the product in our
webshop (the easiest way is to enter the article number in the search eld above) and go to the
recommended accessories on this page. Of course, you can also contact our customer service: by
telephone, e-mail, in one of our branches or via our social media channels. We will be happy to advise
you!
