Sorry, I had meant to write a more complete blog post here about my trip to the Johnson Fitness<\/strong> headquarters<\/strong> in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin (near Madison, Wi) last month but have been so busy with\u00a0the\u00a0about-bicycles.com <\/em>updates\u00a0(primarily indoor cycles and exercise bikes right now) that I\u00a0have not been able to get to the blog update\u00a0until now.<\/p>\n

\"Johnson<\/a>

Johnson Fitness<\/p><\/div>\n

If you are not familiar with Johnson Fitness<\/strong> (aka Johnson Health Tech<\/em><\/strong>), they are\u00a0\u00a0a large and reputable company that designs, manufactures and sells\u00a0fitness equipment worldwide. A few of the brand names that Johnson makes are Livestrong, Horizon, Matrix, AFG, Vision Fitness, Merit, Tempo<\/em> and Treo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You may not be familiar with all of the brands but\u00a0we have had Livestrong<\/strong> and Horizon<\/strong> products on this site for years now and I have recommended the original Livestrong Indoor Cycle<\/strong> (the LS9.9IC) for years also.<\/p>\n

I can tell you that Johnson is committed to quality and customer support and their contributions to the Livestrong Foundation <\/strong>are another example of their commitment to overall health and fitness. This year alone Johnson will be donating a minimum of $4 million to the Livestrong Foundation. That amount will also be increased with the sale of additional Livestrong fitness\u00a0equipment.\u00a0For example, an additional $1,000 donation will be made to the Livestrong Foundation for each LS28IC Indoor Cycle<\/a> that is sold (they do not actually make a profit on this limited edition model).<\/p>\n

OK, I don’t mean to make this sound like a corporate commercial (although it probably does at this point) but I really was impressed with the knowledge and integrity of the people at Johnson. Personally, I learned quite a bit about their exercise bikes and indoor cycles and had I an excellent opportunity to meet with the product specialists in these areas and review quite a few of the Johnson Fitness\u00a0products.<\/p>\n

I have updated many of the Exercise Bike<\/strong> and Indoor Cycle<\/strong> pages on this website with the relevant information on each product that I reviewed while I was at Johnson. I have also added some NEW<\/strong><\/em> Livestrong and AFG reviews<\/em><\/strong> including The Livestrong LS28IC Limited Edition Indoor Cycle<\/a>, the AFG 4.0AR Recumbent<\/a>, the \u00a0Livestrong E-Series<\/a> and Livestrong S-Series <\/a>Indoor Cycles, and the Livestrong LS7.0B Recumbent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, as you can see I have been very busy applying the knowledge that I picked up on my trip to Johnson to this website and I am not done yet! Johnson is revising the\u00a0LivestrongFitness.com website<\/strong> and adding quite a few\u00a0NEW indoor cycles and exercise bikes <\/strong>to this site. Some of these models have not been released yet so I can not\u00a0release the details on them until the new LivestrongFitness.com site is up\u00a0and the new models are for sale online. Johnson will also be opening a new AFG website this fall.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward the revised Livestrong Fitness website, the new Livestrong Indoor Cycles and Exercise Bikes and the new AFG site!<\/p>\n

Although this is prime time bike riding season, I have so much to do with fitness equipment updates (Exercise Bikes, Indoor Cycles, etc.) that it is a little hard to keep up with the regular cycling side of the website (but I am working on it).<\/p>\n

Well, if you are looking into training or fitness equipment now or maybe will be later in the fall, be sure to checkout the updates here and on the new Johnson Fitness websites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
