The Echelon Stride-8s takes the connected fitness experience to the next level with its expansive 22″ Class HD touchscreen, which acts as the vibrant centerpiece of your home sanctuary. What makes this monitor truly exceptional for a holistic wellness routine is its 180° swivel and tilt functionality. This allows you to effortlessly transition from a prayerful walk on the deck to a guided yoga or meditation session on the floor, simply by rotating the screen to face your mat.
