Our first install for FreeMotion plus my take on Foundation Fitness

We just put in a group of bikes in Irvine at The Shady Canyon Golf Club today, out with the NXT's and in with FreeMotion 11.9's. Heres a little 411 on Foundation Fitness: This company is going places, FAST.If your not familiar with Foundation Fitness. its a fairly new company, but its STACKED with talent. The Liggett brothers started Foundation Fitness almost 2 years ago and they went right to the BIG companies to hire their talent pool. Start off with the man who designed and engineered the first Spinner(R) for Schwinn with the insight of Johnny G. That right, Johnny G, THE creator of Spinning went to Schwinn with his original Spinner bike design and Pat Warner was the brain that cleaned up and streamlined the bike for the masses. Pat was also the guy who put together the Triple Link pedal design, although Paul Swift aka Swifty, will debate that fact into the wee hours on any night or day.Soooooo, Pat Warner was later contracted as one of the key people behind the newest bike designs out of the Schwinn/Stairmaster stables, the AC series bikes. The AC series bikes have elevated Schwinn to new heights with the magnetic resistance, for-aft bars and sweeping new aesthetics. The Liggett brothers hired Pat Warner to migrate over to the newly formed Foundation Fitness for yet another new bike design. Pat went to work with Doug Crawford, another brainiac hired by the Liggetts, to bring what would become the FreeMotion bikes to fruition. The FreeMotion bikes share some strong characteristics of the Schwinn AC bikes, some might say an even cleaner ,more streamlined set of dynamics.One thing is for sure, everyone in the commercial indoor cycling arena is in for a new competitor and its safe to say the Freemotion bikes and Foundation Fitness will not be ignored.The talent pool goes beyond the bikes design team. The Liggetts have also hired Eric Jaworsky to head up the global sales team and he was ripped away from the suits at Stairmaster, Eric moved ALOT of product for Stairmaster and his skill set runs deep, plus they acquired Michelle Crumm, formerly of Les Mills AND Nautilus to assist Eric and run the West coast region.Other notables added to the FF camp are Alicia Howard and Laurel Mylin, both SUPER talented, top of their game, Nautilus veterans who are no doubt a valuable addition to the FF infrastructure. These guys are strapped with Talent and they are already kicking some serious ass and driving the numbers. By the way, Foundation Fitness also carries and reps the Johnny G KrankCycles, the Livstrong indoor bikes as well as ALL of the other hardcore Freemotion gear found inside  pretty much EVERY top fitness club on the planet!
