Life Fitness IC3 Indoor Cycle powered by ICG

Life Fitness IC3 Indoor Bike powered by ICG – The smart entry-level model for indoor cycling

While many entry-level models only offer basic functions, the IC3 indoor bike relies on a well-thought-out design and modern technology. The compact, elegant bike is equipped with the WattRate® LCD computer, which has a fully integrated LCD display with on-demand backlighting. An additional LED indicator above the display enables the use of Coach By Color®, which visualizes the training intensity in color-coded form. The display offers a variety of relevant training data, including wattage, heart rate, cadence, training duration and resistance level. The WattRate® Power Meter ensures precise power display in watts. Thanks to the patented calibration of the drive system, the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel is precisely calculated, while a magnetic field sensor records the braking position. For optimal networking, the computer transmits training data via Bluetooth™ and ANT+ to external devices, apps and ICG Connect, allowing seamless integration into existing training systems.

WattRate power measurement
Power measurement in watts represents a new era in indoor cycling. Just like the heart rate monitors that come from professional sports and are now widely used, power measurement is slowly finding its way into popular sports. Performance measurement in watts is also playing an increasingly important role in indoor cycling. WattRate is ICG's answer to this trend. The technology behind it measures the power provided by the user in watts and displays this on the WattRate computer. This data can then be used for targeted training control

Coach By Color training control (user)
Colors are a powerful tool in communication and have universal validity - red means "hot", blue means "cold". Controlling by color (Coach By Color) is one of the simplest, most universal and binding ways of communication. Colors influence human reactions and interactions in many areas of our lives. The colors used in ICG's Coach By Color program are intuitive, established and motivating, making them the most suitable method for controlling a user's intensity during their training. The Coach By Color principle enables the respective visual indication at the right time and thus ensures a quick, transparent and effective way of controlling training. The principle of controlling using colors connects the user more closely to the training and also ensures a new form of group dynamics in the course area or when training in small groups.

COACH BY COLOR includes five colored training zones:
white - very light - 55%
blue - light - 56-75%
green - moderate - 76-90%
yellow - intense - 91-105%
red - maximum - 106-150+%

The training zones are based on the current performance in relation to the individual FTP value (Functional Threshold Power). The same principle of calculating training zones applies when using the maximum heart rate (HR max.) and a compatible chest strap. As soon as the HR max. or the individual FTP value is known, the personal training zones can be calculated accordingly and the intensity can be displayed using colors during training based on heart rate or watts.

These digital Coach By Color workouts, developed by the ICG master trainers, guarantee high-quality and motivating training control. Depending on the training goal, different workouts can be selected or created yourself. During training, you only have to match the color of the computer screen with that of the workout. It is now possible to upload personal data from the ICG Training app to the WattRate computer via Bluetooth and save the data for individual training sessions. This makes monitoring individual training success even more effective.

ICG TRAINING APP
With the ICG Training app you can create, start, save and share workouts with others. Intuitive navigation allows instructors to configure their own courses, synchronize them with music and then use them during the course. Personal trainers can also easily exchange created training sessions with their customers via the app.

• Selection of workouts based on different training intensities
• Color Match - the load is controlled visually via the color display
• Easily create workouts and share them with friends or trainers
• Establish a Bluetooth connection between the app and the WattRate computer of an IC5, IC6 or IC7 bike to transfer and save training data
• Quickly transfer user data to the WattRate computer
• Storage of training data by exchanging data with the WattRate computer
• For personal trainers: create workouts and share them with customers via the app
• For instructors: Simply use the ready-made workouts or create them individually and synchronize them with your own music

ICG CONNECT
ICG Connect is a digital system for visualizing training data for the entire group and individual participants. It combines classic indoor cycling with the latest technology as well as performance with entertainment.

Equipment:

• Resistance system: Magnetic resistance for precise adjustment
• Drive: Poly-V belt drive for a smooth, quiet performance - the Life Fitness IC3 Indoor Cycle features a Poly-V belt drive with a 1:8 gear ratio that ensures a smooth and quiet ride.
