Life Fitness indoor cycle accessories

Why choose original Life Fitness indoor cycle accessories?

The IC bikes from Life Fitness are made by ICG, the Indoor Cycling Group, and are designed for indoor cycling studios and group classes. That means they are used a lot, often by many different people, and that accessories have to stay firmly in place, even when someone gets out of the saddle and sprints. The original accessories are made precisely for these bikes: they clamp on in the right spot, match the design of the bike and do not get in the way of your pedal stroke.

With a universal accessory you often have to work out whether it will fit your handlebars or seat post, and whether it will stay in place when your bike moves along with you. With these accessories you know they were made for your IC model. That is why, for example, there is a separate tablet holder for the IC8.

The range of Life Fitness indoor cycle accessories

• ICG SPD pedal set for the IC series: double-sided pedals with an SPD clip-in mechanism on one side and a flat platform for ordinary trainers on the other side. Suitable for all Life Fitness indoor cycles.
• Tablet holder for the IC4, IC5, IC6 and IC7: an adjustable, original holder for your tablet or smartphone that keeps your device securely in place while you train.
• Tablet holder for the IC8: the same function, but made specifically for the IC8.
• Dumbbell holder for the IC bikes: a lightweight steel wire frame that you attach to the seat post behind your saddle, without it hindering your pedal stroke. Suitable for the IC4, IC5, IC6, IC7 and IC8.

Which Life Fitness accessory suits you?

You want to get more power out of your pedal stroke: go for the SPD pedal set. With clip-in shoes you also pull the pedal upwards, which makes your pedal stroke smoother and more powerful. Because the pedals are double-sided, someone else in your household can simply ride in ordinary trainers.

You follow online classes or want to watch a series while cycling: choose the tablet holder that matches your model, IC4 up to and including IC7, or IC8. On your tablet you can follow classes and training apps. Such apps are optional and usually require a subscription for their full functionality, although some offer a limited free version.

You want to train your upper body at the same time: the dumbbell holder keeps a pair of light dumbbells within easy reach, so you can do arm exercises during a ride, just like in many indoor cycling classes.

You are fitting out a studio with IC bikes: With double-sided pedals you cater both to the dedicated cyclists with clip-in shoes and to the participants who ride in trainers.

What to look for when choosing?

Your IC model

The tablet holders are made per model: one for the IC4 up to and including the IC7 and one for the IC8. The pedal set fits all Life Fitness indoor cycles, and the dumbbell holder fits the IC4 up to and including the IC8.

SPD shoes

To use the clip-in side of the pedals, you need cycling shoes with SPD cleats. These are not included. If you do not have them, you simply ride on the flat side.

Weight in the dumbbell holder

The holder is intended for light dumbbells that you use while cycling. Heavy weights do not belong in it, and they are not practical to use while you are cycling anyway.

Our advice: start with the SPD pedal set if you want to make the most of the sporty side of your indoor cycle, because that is the addition that improves your pedal stroke the most. If you often train with online classes, the tablet holder for your model is the second purchase. The dumbbell holder is a nice extra if you want to combine your indoor cycling rides with upper body exercises.

Who are Life Fitness indoor cycle accessories suitable for?

• Owners of a Life Fitness IC bike: original accessories that fit perfectly.
• Home exercisers who follow online classes: your screen right in front of you, securely in place.
• Athletes who want to pedal more efficiently: SPD pedals for a more powerful, round pedal stroke.
• Indoor cycling studios and gyms: accessories that can handle daily use and are usable for every member.

Less suitable if you have an indoor cycle from another brand: these accessories are made for the IC bikes from Life Fitness. Still looking for a bike? Then take a look at the indoor cycles.

Frequently asked questions about Life Fitness indoor cycle accessories

What are SPD pedals?

SPD is a system in which a cleat under your cycling shoe clicks into the pedal. This locks your foot in place, so you can not only push the pedal down but also pull it up. The ICG pedals are double-sided: on the other side you ride in ordinary trainers.

Which tablet holder fits my bike?

There is one tablet holder for the IC4, IC5, IC6 and IC7, and a separate version for the IC8. Choose the holder that matches your model. Both are suitable for a tablet or a smartphone.

Where is the dumbbell holder attached?

The holder is attached to the seat post behind your saddle. In that position it does not get in the way of your legs or your pedal stroke, while you can still grab the dumbbells easily. It fits the IC4, IC5, IC6, IC7 and IC8.

Do the SPD pedals fit every Life Fitness indoor cycle?

The ICG SPD pedal set is suitable for all Life Fitness indoor cycles. If you have an older or different model and you are not sure, please get in touch with us.
