The synchronised arm and leg pedals of the PRO2 all-body ergometer are operated from a seated position. The upper and lower cranks can also be used in isolation with the simple removal/tethering of the non-required part.

Its fully adjustable features mean it's suitable for all gym users. The swivel seat with side handles can be easily removed for wheelchair access, while wheelchair ramps, platforms and tie-downs are also available.

The PRO2 offers six programmes that provide a variety of training options to suit the needs of all users, from the deconditioned through casual gym-users to elite athletes.

The programmes can be adapted to users' needs. For example, the ISO Kinetic strength programme sets effort against a given RPM. Once this has been exceeded, it increases relative to the effort exerted. Conversely, the low start-up speed and constant workload programme aids workouts aimed at weight loss or a gradual build-up of fitness levels.

There are two variations of the PRO2 - the Sport and the Stage 2, which has full Inclusive Exercise Equipment Accreditation. Both have identical internal workings but different external features.
