The global fitness industry is greatly indebted to a man who invented the Lifecycle exercise bike, the legendary equipment that foretells the story of today's fitness consciousness around the world. It was Dr. Keene P. Dimick who designed the Lifecycle exercise bike in early sixties for own fitness purpose. He sold the right of his bike to Ray Wilson and Augie Nieto who modified the design of the original bike, commercialized it and founded the Lifecycle, Inc. Many other fitness equipment and fitness concept sweep the then American society and increasing popularity propels many fitness industries come into existence. In the eighties Bally Manufacturing purchased Lifecycle, Inc. and renamed it as Life Fitness, Inc.
