Helix HLT3500 Club Connect Lateral Trainer – Night Black Matte

The Helix HLT3500 Club Connect Lateral Trainer is a premium commercial lateral cardio machine designed for demanding fitness environments and serious home users. Featuring an updated Night Black Matte finish and a fast Android-powered smart console, the HLT3500 combines patented side-to-side movement with advanced interactive training technology.

Unlike traditional ellipticals and cardio machines that primarily move forward and backward, the Helix HLT3500 trains the body through lateral, side-to-side movement. This unique motion helps activate the glutes, core, inner thighs, outer thighs, hips, and legs while delivering an intense cardiovascular workout.

Built for the heaviest commercial use, the HLT3500 is engineered for operation up to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, making it an excellent choice for commercial gyms, health clubs, hotels, apartment fitness centers, universities, corporate wellness centers, training facilities, and premium residential gyms.

New Night Black Matte Design

The newest Helix HLT3500 Club Connect features a modern Night Black Matte finish that gives the machine a clean, upscale appearance suitable for premium commercial and residential fitness spaces.

Its compact footprint allows facilities to add a unique commercial cardio experience without requiring the floor space of many traditional treadmills or large elliptical trainers.

Updated Android Smart Console

The HLT3500 Club Connect features an upgraded high-speed Android-powered touchscreen console designed to function like an independent smart tablet.

Users can access entertainment, training content, workout programs, and connected features directly from the machine without needing to attach a separate phone or tablet.

Console features include:

• Fast Android-powered operating system
• Built-in Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth connectivity
• Web browsing
• Bluetooth heart-rate connectivity
• Bluetooth audio
• Phone screen mirroring
• Integrated training applications
• Workout history tracking
• Personal workout data storage
• Live and on-demand classes
• Interactive Brain Games training apps

Take Classes Directly From the Console

One of the biggest advantages of the Helix HLT3500 Club Connect is its ability to operate as a complete interactive training platform.

Users can access training classes directly from the console without needing a separate phone or tablet. The integrated smart console supports live and on-demand workouts, allowing users to combine the Helix lateral training experience with guided fitness programming.

The console also supports phone screen mirroring, allowing compatible users to display content from their phone directly on the HLT3500 screen.

Integrated Brain Games Training Apps

The Club Connect console includes Brain Games training applications designed to add an interactive element to cardio exercise.

These applications can help keep users mentally engaged during workouts while providing an alternative to traditional cardio programming and entertainment.

Patented 3D Lateral Movement

Traditional cardio equipment primarily trains the body in a forward-and-backward movement pattern. The Helix HLT3500 uses patented lateral motion designed to challenge the body differently.

Helix describes its movement as working the body through all three planes of human motion, helping target muscle groups that may receive less emphasis during traditional cardio workouts.

These include:

• Obliques and core
• Inner thighs
• Outer thighs
• Glutes
• Quadriceps
• Hamstrings
• Hips
• Lower-body stabilizing muscles

This makes the HLT3500 an excellent addition to facilities looking to provide a cardio experience beyond traditional treadmills, bikes, stair climbers, and ellipticals.

Clinically Studied Muscle Activation

According to clinical research cited by Helix, the company's lateral training motion demonstrated increased muscle activation in several muscle groups compared with traditional cardio movement patterns.

Helix reports:

• Up to 55% greater muscle activation
• Approximately 55% more oblique activation
• Approximately 42% more inner-thigh activation
• Approximately 50% more outer-thigh activation

The unique side-to-side movement is designed to increase lower-body and core engagement while users perform cardiovascular exercise.

Reach Target Heart Rate Faster

Helix also reports that users may reach their target heart-rate zone approximately 23% faster compared with traditional cardio exercise in testing cited by the manufacturer.

Reaching a desired training intensity more quickly may help users create efficient workouts when time is limited.

Designed for Comfortable Lateral Cardio Training

Helix states that its lateral movement has also been clinically studied in relation to knee and hip comfort.

Because the HLT3500 follows a different movement pattern than running or traditional forward-motion cardio equipment, it offers users another option for cardiovascular and lower-body training.

Individual results and comfort levels will vary, and users with existing joint conditions should consult an appropriate medical professional before beginning a new exercise program.

TÜV Independently Tested and Certified

Helix states that its equipment has been independently tested and certified by Technischer Überwachungsverein (TÜV) in Germany, providing additional third-party testing and certification for its commercial fitness equipment.

20 Levels of Electronic Resistance

The Helix HLT3500 features 20 electronically controlled resistance levels, allowing users to quickly adjust workout intensity.

Its electromagnetic resistance system provides up to 325 watts of total resistance, making it suitable for beginners, experienced exercisers, athletes, and demanding commercial gym users.

The HLT3500 Club Connect includes 12 built-in workout programs designed to provide variety for users with different fitness goals.

Programs include options for:

• HIIT workouts
• Interval training
