The XT4700 also features SmartStride® interactive ergonomics, which analyze pace and direction and automatically adjust the stride length.
Console Technology
For premium entertainment and interactivity, the XT4700, XT3700, LateralX and xR6000 machines can be equipped with a choice of:

Exercisers can take advantage of mobile device charging, phone/tablet docking stations, ANT+ compatibility and a console fan. Interactive video coaching for CROSS CiRCUIT (not available on xR6000), along with Workout Booster videos, help users stay engaged and properly execute exercises. Club operators get easy firmware updates over the internet to ensure that the consoles always have the newest features and asset management through EcoFit to maximize the life of each cardio unit.
- Standard console – Intuitive to navigate, this LED display features integrated capacitive touch buttons and shows all workout feedback. The console comes equipped with a fan, mobile device charging and ANT+ compatibility. It features simple to access advanced workouts with dedicated workout buttons directly on the console for CROSS CiRCUIT (not available on xR6000), 30:30 and MMA. The standard console also includes asset management through EcoFit as well as firmware updates that can be done via a USB drive.
- Personal viewing screen (PVS) or 900Mhz wireless receiver – For even greater entertainment customization, both the smart and standard consoles can be equipped with a PVS or 900Mhz wireless receiver. The 15 inch HD PVS adds a multitude of television, movie and entertainment selections and integrated keypad controls for a totally immersive experience. The 900 MHz wireless receiver is compatible with Cardio Theater, BroadcastVision, MYE Entertainment, Enercise and Audeon.
To complement the sleek new consoles, both the LateralX elliptical and the xR6000 recumbent elliptical have been redesigned with contemporary shrouds and colors.
