They produce some of the best quality machines on the market and have been doing so since the 1960s. Life Fitness are undoubtedly the market-leader when it comes to innovation - they were the first people to put computers on fitness equipment back in the 70s!
Their trainers start at around £1,350 and go up to well over £3,000. As we said they're not cheap but if you buy Life Fitness you know you're getting top quality, top features and a machine that will last for years and help you achieve your fitness goals.

We've listed below the Life Fitness trainers we've tried so far with the best online price we can find. Few of our clients own these machines so we have to thank a number of retailers for letting us try the models in their showrooms. You'll find virtually every retailer selling Life Fitness at the same price so the deal from Gymcompany can make all the difference. Gymcompany also have a very good reputation for customer care and after sales service.
We've also put a link to Amazon so you can search for a better price with them - but always check the delivery cost! What can appear cheaper initially doesn't always turn out
to be a bargain once you add on the postage.
Life Fitness Elliptical Trainers:-
Please note:
We've listed the 'advanced' trainers from the x-series below. The 'basic' models are the same trainer but with a different console with fewer programmes. We believe if you're going to pay well over a thousand pounds on a trainer, another £150 to £200 is well worth it for the extra functions and programmes you get.
We've been unable to try the X7 model to date but as it comes with shock absorbing pedals we can only image what that must feel like!
Life Fitness X1 Advanced
Our score -
20 pre-set programmes including heart rate controlled
Incline facility to work different muscle groups - especially the butt!
Warm-up and cool down programmes.
An 'extreme heart rate' - not for the faint-hearted!
Heart chest strap included.
Best price £1,421 (inc 5% discount) from GymCompany (to claim discount enter 'review5off' in the voucher box at check out)
Our view - these really are the Roll Royces of trainers. The action is unbelievably smooth and quiet and the range of programmes is staggering. The 'advanced' refers to the functions of the console that include the wireless heart monitoring several more programmes than the X1 Basic. Yes, it's pricey but you do get a heck of a lot of machine for it!

Life Fitness X3 Advanced
Our score -
Same specification as the X1 above - plus
WhisperStrideTM technology for an even quieter, smoother ride.
Built-in reading rack for books or magazines.
Best price £1,895 from (inc 5% discount) from GymCompany (to claim discount enter 'review5off' in the voucher box at check out)
Our view - very similar to the X1 but with a superior stride action - although the extra £500 asking price compared to the X1 seems a lot to pay for only a few extras you do get an incredibly smooth action.

Life Fitness X5 Advanced
Our score -
Same specification as the X3 above - plus
SelectStrideTM adjusts stride length, from 18 right up to 24 inches, for different users or for working a variety of muscle groups.
Four different stride patterns - walk, jog, run, and sprint
Best price £1,942 from (inc 5% discount) from GymCompany (to claim discount enter 'review5off' in the voucher box at check out)
Our view - we know it's possible to buy a reasonable car for this amount - but it won't get you fit! The SelectStride is quite amazing as it can let you tone every muscle you can think of, the sprint setting really is something to experience. It feels that a week or two on the fat burn heart rate programme on this machine will melt away those extra pounds. It's an amazing machine!
