From Vela’s marketing materials, “Home fitness equipment usually looks as if it belongs in a torture chamber.” Uh…isn’t that what gyms are: torture chambers…but with better towels and a juice bar?
“Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.”

About the Vela Exercise Bike :: LUNAR:
Home fitness equipment usually looks as if it belongs in a torture chamber – chunky and heavy, it often leads a shadowy existence in the guest room or basement. That’s hardly surprising in view of the fact that most gym equipment is developed for use in professional fitness centres. The designers at LUNAR deliberately set out to change this
state of affairs. Accordingly, they have brought together the traditionally contrasting themes of fitness and stylish living in the form of new design objects that are as avant- garde as they are aesthetic.
