The warranty is valid only within the United States.About the Warranty This Life Fitness product is intended for home use only. Your warranty will be void if this product is used in a commercial setting.About Life Fitness What started as one man's pursuit to improve his own physical condition, eventually turned into a global fitness revolution. That man was Keene P. Dimick, the mastermind behind the legendary Lifecycle® exercise bike. The story of Life Fitness began when two young entrepreneurs, Ray Wilson and Augie Nieto, saw the promise of Dr. Dimick’s invention. Even though it was slightly ahead of its time, they believed the Lifecycle exercise bike could help generations of athletes, trainers, exercisers, and people everywhere live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Wilson and Nieto bought the rights to the Lifecycle bike from Dr. Dimick, perfected it, and sold it out of a motor home to health clubs across America. Despite the overwhelming odds and initial unpopularity of the Lifecycle exercise bike, the two passion-filled pioneers turned a two-man operation and a seemingly impossible vision into a prosperous reality. Along the way, they shaped the future of Life Fitness as well as the fitness industry, bringing cardiovascular training into the mainstream and helping ignite the health club boom. Today, Life Fitness is the global leader in designing and manufacturing a full line of reliable, high quality fitness equipment for commercial and consumer use. It is the number one brand of fitness equipment in health clubs worldwide.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I lessen the resistance? It’s on level 1, however the resistance is very high.**
A: Level 1 is the lowest and should have the least resistance. Have you checked to make sure all of the packing material is removed from the machine? If some of the foam packing is accidentally left inside the machine, it could cause the resistance. Also, you should go through the setting cycle choices associated with Level 1 to make sure you are at the lowest resistance/weight possible.

**Q: What kind of batteries does it use?**
A: Life Fitness Machines do have batteries. LIFE FITNESS CT9100 BATTERY. (1) The machine has to be partially disassembled. There is no power plug lol

**Q: Two different consoles shown in the pictures above: 1 at the top and another within the "Product Description".  Which is correct?**
A: The square console

**Q: What is the stride?**
A: 21-24

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with this purchase
*by D***W on February 18, 2010*

We were hesitant to spend this much on a piece of home fitness equipment, but it has turned out to be well worth it. I love using the professional Life Fitness Elliptical machines at the gym and I could not find another elliptical trainer with the same natural motion. A local fitness equipment store that carries Life Fitness equipment would not budge on the MSRP, and we would have had to pay tax and $200 for shipping. Amazon was running a promotion for $300 off of the MSRP with no tax and free shipping so I bought it here.The Life Fitness Club Series Elliptical is fantastic. Solid as a rock. It has a welded frame and is constructed the same as the professional model and the motion is the same. The difference is in the resistance system. The Life Fitness models in the health club create resistance by using some kind of electric generator that powers the electronics. The resistance on this model feels almost the same but is much quieter. The machine is very quiet all around but it would probably be disturing to others if not in a basement. This model requires plugging it in to an electric outlet. The heart rate sensors in the hand grips work great for me but not for my wife- she uses the wireless chest strap for HR.The Life Fitness Elliptical shipped by freight and arrived in about a week. A giant 18-wheeler delivered it to the end of my driveway. Make sure you have some help unloading the equipment- it weighs about 300lbs with the packaging. It was a struggle for my wife and me to carry the main part of the machine to the basement because it is awkward and bulky and weighs over 200lbs. It was fairly easy to assemble but it took me close to an hour. The core of the machine is already put together. You have to attach the upper arms and assemble and attach the center stack with the electronics and attach the plastic covers that make the machine look finished. It came with the Phillip's screw driver and giant Allen wrench that was needed for assembly.The best part of this machine is that I actually use it every day and am excited to use it. It functions the same as the health club version giving a great low-impact workout and I don't have to drive to the gym.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ As described and great customer service!
*by J***B on February 25, 2021*

The machine is JUST like the ones I used in planet fitness before the pandemic closed everything. It is definitley used, but in good condition. Just some cosmetic dings. Unfortunately, the machine's lower computer board was damaged during shipping. I contacted the seller, Josh from fitness buys. He responded immediately. He sent me a new lower board within days, then he sent me a list of techs in my area who were specifically qualified to repair these machines. Tech came out, replaced the board and Josh reimbursed me the next day for the repair! Now the machine works just like the ones at my gym. Thanks Josh!

### ⭐ Distractingly noisy model.
*by M***I on September 24, 2017*

The media could not be loaded. This CSX Club Series Cross Trainer has "Whisperstride Technology" to "ensure nearly silent operation". Not so ... it is very loud. I and others tried it immediately on assembly and the noise was overwhelming from the rear drive. (I have another LF elliptical purchased new about 5 years ago. It is an excellent machine, very quiet and it's fine performance is the main reason I purchased this unit without a trial.) Anyway, I made a video of the CSX Club unit received and sent it to Life Fitness. They agreed it "sounded comparatively loud" and sent a tech to evaluate it. He also said it sounded loud but he couldn't find anything wrong. Nevertheless, he said the only thing he could do was to order new bearing units and replace the existing parts. Hurricane Irma intervened and the replacement was done this week. Unfortunately, while there may have been a marginal sound improvement after replacement, generally everyone said (including the tech) it was about the same (noisy). Maybe this is the best sound level LF can engineer on this model, however for a promise of "nearly silent operation" on a $4K machine, this is a truly disappointing product. I would have gladly kept the unit were it quiet or even reasonably so. BTW, the LF customer service staff were very responsive and helpful, the tech was timely and and knowledgeable and tried his best so this isn't an indictment of LF service which I thought quite efficient. However, if quiet operation is important to you, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.
