Viatek launches Echelontm, where fitness and technology unite to at a price you can afford.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Feb. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Viatek Consumer Products Group, known for their innovative design and unique products, has launched Echelontm bikes with live classes via your phone or tablet.

The Echelontm Experience, merges total fitness and technology to create a virtual community where the catch phrase "never ride alone," is as real as downloading the Echelontm Fit App and hoping aboard one of their two well-engineered cycles. Available on both Google Play and the Apple App store, Echelontm Fit allows the rider choices from hundreds of on demand & live classes, scenic rides, yoga, strength training, warm-ups, and more.

The first member of the Echelontm family, the Flex Bike, launched exclusively on QVC earlier this year with huge success. Great for any fitness level, and at a cost of around $229.99, the Flex bike is not only affordable, but comfortable with a large recumbent seat, designed to be light weight, and folds for portability.

The second member of the Echelontm family is the Connect Bike, which retails for just $799.99. Made for a slightly more advanced user, the Connect Bike pairs via Bluetooth with smart phones and tablets so the Echelontm Fit App can track participation, distance, output levels, and competition with fellow riders. It also allows you to link up with friends via facebook, fitbit^®, or Strava so you can ride with friends. The Connect bike has a silent magnetic flywheel and offers 32 levels of resistance, providing a challenging workout for any level of rider. It's ergonomically customizable, with an oversized seat that's adjustable in two dimensions, and a handlebar console with adjustable height, angle, and distance.

The Echelon Studio located in Chattanooga Tennessee, has over a dozen instructors teaching various levels of daily live and on-demand classes for both bikes, as well as a variety of off bike exercises. Participation has become a global sensation with thousands joining us daily.

"We have created a unique live experience for our members, where they can have a fun and energetic fitness experience at home. Our instructors come from a range of backgrounds and ages which allows them to form a connection with our community," said Nancy McCaffrey, Director of the Echelon Experience.

"We are excited to launch two of the most advanced bikes in the industry with our integrated Live App Technology, featuring live classes that geared from the beginner level rider to the fitness cyclist. We believe that Echelon's World Class Experience will allow everyone to enjoy participating in fitness classes in the home at an affordable price.

The Echelontm Experience is truly refreshing because it provides all the excitement and innovation of any competitor, but at a fraction of the price and machinery weight. The Flex and Connect are excellent affordable indoor cycles that work with your lifestyle and living space.
