Life FItness X9i Elliptical
So you want an elliptical just like the one at the health club and are willing to fork over $4000? Then the Life Fitness x9i elliptical trainer is the machine for you.
Life Fitness knows a thing or two about exercise equipment and it shows in the x9i elliptical.
The x9i is about as good of an elliptical trainer that’s on the market from any manufacturer. It’s the same machine (with a few tweaks) that you’ll find in the health club.
If you want workout variety, the Life Fitness x9i delivers in spades. There are over 18 built in quick start programs, 6 specialty workouts and 5 polar compatible heart sync programs.
Life Fitness x9i Key Specs and Features
- Polar heart rate control
- 21″ fixed stride length
- quick start programs
- 20 levels of resistance
- Maximum user weight of 350 pounds
Even though the stride length is fixed on the x9i elliptical, it’s a generous 21″ and will work well for most users, and is well engineered with ergonomic pedals and a heavy flywheel.
The Lifefitness x9i elliptical is a great home elliptical trainer if you can afford the steep price. If your budget is smaller (or you want to save $2000) the best option to the x9i is the Sole e95 Elliptical.
