6 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. Alternatively, you
