BH Fitness – The Green Fitness Equipment Manufacturer

In 2010 BH Fitness signed up to the “10:10 green initiative” and made a commitment to make a more rational use of natural resources.

The campaign is a private initiative, launched by The Guardian newspaper, which seeks to promote products that are manufactured in accordance with green policies.

BH Fitness has introduced the following into it’s range of fitness equipment:

Green Power Motors
- Concept: Green Power Motors technology, which applied to motors and control cards, allows more efficient use of energy, and therefore record lower consumption (up to 15%) for the same performance
- Implementation: Currently, all BH Fitness treadmills, from the lowest-end model to the highest, are equipped with engines Green Power technology.
- Advantage:It allows lower power consumption than other treadmills or help to make more effective use of natural resources, as it requires less electric power to function properly

Powered By You
- Concept: Self Powered models require no external power source and use the energy created by you during your exercise to power the fitness machine
- Application: BH Fitness have applied the self-generation technology to a wide range of exercise bikes and elliptical cross trainers in the range. Self generating equipment is available from entry level models right up to full commercial equipment.
- Advantage: External power is not needed – the user generates the power during exercise.  No mains connection is required which means that not only are you saving electricity but also you have the freedom to exercise anywhere in your house.

Building a Treadmill - Lose the Spanners...

The Prisma range of treadmills from BH Fitness have "Plug and Run" technology. But what does this mean? If you watch the video below you'll see that it's all about how easy it is to build your treadmill and how quickly you can go from boxed to fully assembled and ready for use.

There are 5 easy steps to follow:

1) Take the treadmill out of the box and remove all of the packaging
2) Lift the console posts into position - they pivot at the point where they connect to the treadmill deck and can be lifted by one person (as shown in the video)
3) Tighten the knobs to secure the posts in place
4) Fold the console into position and secure in place by tightening the knobs.

At this point, you can start to use the treadmill. It's fully functional and ready to go.

5) This next bit is optional. You can finish off the treadmill by fitting the plastic covers on each side of the machine. You'll need a screwdriver for this (supplied with the machines) but again these are very easy to fit.

You might be reading this and wondering why we're making such a big deal out of "Plug and Run". If we tell you that we have built hundreds of treadmills, of all sizes and from many different manufacturers, we hope that you'l believe us when we tell you that some treadmills can be a nightmare to assemble. Whether it's missing parts, bolts that don't fit, impossible angles to fit screws or just simply that you need 2 pairs of hands we've seen it all. That's why Plug and Run is fantastic news for anyone looking for a treadmill who doesn't want to undertake any DIY.

Sit back and watch the video - one person taking less than 2 minutes to go from boxed to running. You won't get that with any other treadmill system.
