Freestyle Running Machines

The 'FleXSpace' Treadmill Machine Features an Open Concept Design

— April 8, 2016 — Art & Design
Those who run on a treadmill might find the exercise equipment a bit limiting both physically and mentally, so the 'FleXSpace' treadmill machine is designed to change this perception.

Featuring an open-concept design, the 'FleXSpace' does away with the large, oversized portions that traditionally flank the front portion of treadmills. Rather, a slim set of bars hold the control panel and an integrated computer screen for watching content or getting some work done.

The 'FleXSpace' treadmill is the design work of Joe Sardo and helps users to feel freer as they run rather than feel as though they are chasing the treadmill machine itself. The conceptual machine features a variety of different settings to help trainers switch up their exercise style for more effective training and exercise.
Trend Themes
1. Open-concept Treadmills - The 'FleXSpace' treadmill machine showcases the trend of open-concept designs in fitness equipment, providing users with a more freeing experience.
2. Slimmed-down Control Panels - The 'FleXSpace' treadmill's slim set of bars holding the control panel highlights the trend of minimalist design in exercise equipment, optimizing the user's visual and physical experience.
3. Flexible Exercise Settings - The 'FleXSpace' treadmill's variety of exercise settings reflects the trend of customizable workouts, allowing trainers to switch up their routines for more effective training.
Industry Implications

3. Fitness Training and Personal Coaching - Fitness trainers and coaches can leverage the trend of flexible exercise settings in treadmills, designing customized workout routines that cater to individual needs and goals.
