Recumbent Exercise Equipment for Senior Centers 

NuStep designs senior center exercise equipment for the specific demands of community-based fitness programs. Senior center members typically have different ability levels and fitness goals, and the equipment must work for all of them to have value. Our recumbent cross trainers, upper body ergometers and recumbent bikes are accessible and easy to use and deliver low impact cardio workouts that support a wide range of members’ fitness journeys.

Why Our Exercise Equipment Fits Senior Centers

Supports group programming and independent use

Many senior centers run structured fitness classes alongside open gym time. Our recumbent equipment works in both contexts. In group workout sessions, members follow a timed program together. During open gym hours, users can work out independently. The NuStep Companion app, available on iOS and Android, tracks individual performance data across sessions, giving members a record of their sessions and progress.

When members keep coming back to use specific machines like the NuStep, it’s a sure sign the center chose the right equipment for their members. NuStep machines feature a 360-degree swivel seat, low step-through* for easy access and they deliver low-impact cardiovascular and strength exercise that is easy on the joints. The Quick Start function allows members who have never used exercise equipment before to get moving within minutes of their first session. The low force start up and user-controlled step length allow new users to control their workout, while multiple resistance levels allow them to adjust their workout as they build confidence and progress.

*T4r models do not have low step-through frames.

Built for high-use, value-conscious settings

Senior centers operating on municipal, grant or nonprofit funding need equipment that performs reliably over years of daily use. We developed our recumbent cross trainers, ergometers and exercise bikes with this in mind. As a testament to our confidence in their long-term durability, our products carry a 10-year frame warranty as standard. For program directors working within fixed capital budgets, the reliability and durability of NuStep products, coupled with their popularity among older adults, makes them a smart investment for senior centers.

Minimal staff training required

Senior center fitness staff are often part-time, shared across programs or supported by volunteers so exercise equipment that does not require special training is a plus. NuStep exercise equipment is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. From seat and arm positions that are easy to adjust, to consoles that display programs and workout data in a clear, straightforward manner, NuStep equipment makes it easy to “get on and go.”
