Life Fitness Club Series
Elliptical Trainer
Price: $3,589
Bottom Line: Fixed 18" stride rear drive cross-trainer with an elliptical motion that is identical to the Life Fitness health club model.
Thoughts:The Life Fitness Club Series Elliptical trainer is the perfect machine for any user looking to own a commercial gym quality elliptical trainer for home use. This machine is an exact copy of a very popular club model that Life Fitness has produced for years. This machine is an archetype for what an elliptical trainer should be. At its core the machine offers an exceptionally natural elliptical motion, silent drive system, comfortable positiUoning, and challenging preset workouts. This machine is a work-horse designed to take heavy use in a club setting; therefore, in a home setting this elliptical machine will last a lifetime. It is well engineered and we have always been impressed by this elliptical trainer. Even with its fixed 18” stride, the machine always offers a supreme workout experience. The price is high at $3,589, but that is what a commercial elliptical machine such as this would cost and you can’t go wrong with it. However, consider that other manufacturers do offer machines of the same quality for less money. Checking out the modes from Precor or Smooth Fitness would be wise before spending a hefty $3,589 on the Club Series from Life Fitness.
