Our success comes down to four things: a large volume of sales, continual product innovation, extremely high customer satisfaction ratings and a single-minded focus on selling on-line

Because we make and distribute our own line of high-end elliptical trainers and treadmills, customers save an average of 45% off of the retail cost--hence the sheer volume of sales. And when you combine our 20+ years' experience with our scores of happy customers, it's easy to see why we're the Internet's number one seller and manufacturer of fitness equipment.

The past year has been a fantastic one for us. Being recognized as one of the 500 largest on-line retailers speaks volumes about the success, sustainability and scalability of our business model. We're delighted to be recognized for our achievement.
