Life Fitness Elliptical Trainer Models
It is always difficult to choose from so many big brand names when you make up your mind to purchase an elliptical trainer. If you are not experienced in the field and have rarely been to the gym, you might need some help from a friend who knows better. Either way, before choosing a brand and model it is good to read some online information which many sites provide and form an overall opinion on what an elliptical trainer is. As you might imagine, after over thirty years of activity in the field of bikes, Life Fitness still considers innovation and high quality to be two crucial elements in the creation of gym equipment. The Life Fitness diverse contribution to the industry of fitness equipment comprises exercise bikes, elliptical cross-trainers, treadmills, home gyms and stair climbers. After thorough research and testing for every new product, the outcome is always outstanding which makes the brand name famous and highly appreciated all over the world.
The design and biomechanics of these machines keep them up in the hierarchy of world's best elliptical trainers for both commercial elliptical trainers and home models. The home machines have rear drive system which makes the workout easy even for senior users. The adjustable stride length system is manually adjustable which allows different users to find and set the appropriate length every time they need the machine. This is something that comes handy for a family whose members are most likely of different heights and use the trainer in turn.
For beginners and seniors, the Life Fitness X1 Elliptical trainer is the perfect choice. It has a fixed 20" stride rear drive cross-trainer with a flat ellipse pattern, five programmes and twelve resistance levels. The unit weighs 204 lbs. and has a quite fair stability. It is also fairly quiet and smooth and so is the Life Fitness X3 elliptical cross-trainer, which is quite similar to the X1.
The X5 elliptical cross-trainer is recommendable for one user. It is high quality just like the rest of the Life Fitness machines and has an excellent stability. Very smooth and quiet it is available with optional wireless heart rate monitoring and 18"-24" adjustable stride The X5i elliptical trainer is an interactive model which helps you stay in your target heart rate zone, no matter how many different workout programmes you choose, by using the Polar telemetry chest strap. You can try four natural-feeling strides and adjust the machine to your health state and mood. There are twenty intensity levels precisely controlled by the resistance system. In the meantime, the console display offers continuous feedback.
Life Fitness Model X7 is one of the top elliptical cross-trainers available on the market these days and of course can be purchased at a higher price due to its extra features. Having an electrically adjustable stride, from 18" to 24" in length, twenty resistance levels and seven programmes, it works well and holds up. However, some customers say that an adjustable motion trainer from Smooth would offer the same features (plus an adjustable motion) at a better price.
