Life Fitness Elliptical – Which One Should I Get?
In the fitness industry, the Life Fitness brand is well-known and well-respected for its excellent products combining thoughtful design and scientific biomechanics. The product lines include cardio equipment like treadmills, exercise bikes and steppers as well as strength equipment like home gyms. One of its most popular product lines is the Life Fitness elliptical trainers, which come in commercial home models.
When looking at these elliptical trainers, most prospective and actual users immediately get the impression of excellence from its pedals to its console. When in actual use, the elliptical trainers perform well under variable conditions with many performing well under stress in comparison with other brands in the same product category.
If you are planning to purchase an elliptical trainer from Life Fitness, we recommend virtually all of the models. As can be expected from any product made by man, these elliptical trainers have their pros and cons. It is up to you to decide if the pros outweigh the cons in each case.
One of the most expensive and most advanced in the product line is the Life Fitness elliptical trainer. Yes, it has many advanced features that any fitness fanatic will covet in the manner that we all desire six-pack abs but its expensive price tag can dig deep and then deeper into the pocket. In the final analysis of things, fortunately, this is one elliptical trainer you can brag about to the club.
As part of its overall package, you will rave, as other have in the past, about the Club Series Elliptical’s digital contact heart rate monitoring system, stationary handlebar for stability during lower body-only workouts and accessory tray. But of course, we will recommend the Club model to our family and friends because it allows for either lower body only workout or total body workout modes. This cannot be said of the treadmills.
With a lower price than the Club Series but still in the higher end of the Life Fitness elliptical trainers is the X8 Elliptical. It seems that the company labels their products with an X for an edgy attitude and consumers have noticed it, too. The X8 Elliptical is the leader in the X-category, so to speak, and it shows.
You can choose from 2 heart rate monitoring systems – the contact from the hand sensors on the stationary handlebar or the wireless with the chest strap on the Advanced console. Your choice also extends to synchronized upper and lower body workout or just lower body workout. Other features on the X8 are automatic stride adjustments to provide the different leg muscles a workout every 2 minutes, LCD display and accessory tray, all of which are also found in the more expensive Club Series. Thus, if you have a lower budget but still want a high-quality Life Fitness elliptical, we suggest the X8.
If elliptical trainers are your latest favorite in a life filled with love for fitness, then we suggest looking at the Life Fitness range of products. You will find that although these are the more expensive fitness products in the market, the Life Fitness elliptical trainers are, as cliché as it may sound, great value for your hard-earned money toward a “hard” body.
