Description
Why the C3?
The Lifecycle feel, with a ride built around comfort as much as performance.
The Life Fitness C3 Lifecycle Upright Bike is built for riders who want the proven Lifecycle pedal stroke and smooth electromagnetic resistance, paired with a more supportive riding position for longer, more comfortable sessions. Where entry-level bikes force you into an awkward posture that makes 20 minutes feel like an hour, the C3 is designed to keep you riding longer with less fatigue.
The large cushioned seat adjusts across 14 positions to dial in the right fit for any rider, and the ergonomically curved handlebars with forearm support give you a natural, relaxed grip that reduces upper body tension throughout the workout.
Twenty resistance levels on a smooth, quiet electromagnetic drive cover everything from a gentle recovery spin to a demanding interval session — with a 400 lb. weight capacity that makes it one of the most accessible upright bikes in its class.
Built to last
Self-powered, cord-free, and built to perform reliably for years.
The C3 runs without a power cord, making it easy to place anywhere in the home without worrying about outlet access. The electromagnetic resistance system has no friction components to degrade over time, so performance stays consistent across years of daily use — a meaningful advantage over cheaper bikes that require brake pad adjustments or lose resistance feel within months. Choose the Go Console for a straightforward, get-on-and-ride experience with 12 built-in workouts, or step up to the Track Connect 2.0 for full Bluetooth connectivity with Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch, and smartphone integration.
- 20 resistance levels on a sealed electromagnetic drive — no maintenance required
- 400 lb weight capacity — higher than most residential upright bikes in this category
- Go Console with 12 workouts or Track Connect 2.0 with Apple Watch and Bluetooth support
- Contact and wireless heart rate monitoring included
- Wide self-balancing pedals with ratcheting straps and compact 45" x 27" footprint
Who it is for
Longer rides, greater comfort, and a weight capacity that fits more users.
The C3 is the right fit for home gym owners who prioritize ride comfort alongside performance, riders who plan to spend 45 minutes or more on the bike and need a seat and handlebar setup that supports that, and multi-user households where different body types and fitness levels share the same machine. The 400 lb. weight capacity makes it one of the most inclusive upright options available at this price point.
It also works well in light commercial settings like small studios, physical therapy clinics, and hotel fitness rooms where a comfortable, accessible upright bike sees varied daily use. The cord-free design means placement is never limited by outlet location.
Includes free delivery. The Fitness Outlet is an authorized Life Fitness dealer, ensuring full manufacturer warranty support on every purchase.
