Visit the Life Fitness Store at Amazon.com The Word on the StreetThe Life Fitness X3 elliptical features the patented Link6™ drive system for a natural smooth stride and WhisperStride technology to keep things remarkably quiet. It also has oversized cushioned pedals and a roomy 20" stride (a note of caution: that fixed stride length could be uncomfortable for short users). In addition, the Life Fitness X3 cross trainer works hard to keep you engaged and focused while you exercise. The console features CoachZone Activity Zone with GluteToner and ArmToner workout enhancements. As for the ride, the ellipse motion is relatively flat so this is a good machine for seniors or anyone wanting a basic low-impact elliptical trainer workout.

Solid in construction and easy to assemble, elliptical reviews praise all points of the Life Fitness X3 elliptical cross trainer in terms of design and function. From pro trainer and technician reviews, it scores high in critical areas such as ergonomics, smooth ride, quiet operation, and reliability (based on the quality of near maintenance-free rear-drive components). Our ThoughtsThe Life Fitness X3 elliptical with basic console is $2,699, while the X3 with the advanced console is priced at $2,999. The only less-than-stellar marks are aimed at the lack of adjustability in the cross trainer’s stride length and the nearly $3,000 price tag for the advanced console model. Oh-la. For that price, you could get a reconditioned Precor EFX 546 commercial elliptical with a 40-degree cross ramp, or a Smooth Agile DMT that is always on sale at about half of its mega sticker price. While the Life Fitness X3 elliptical cross trainer is every bit up to the quality and performance of the Life Fitness line, we suggest you save a few dollars and go with the X1 model which also has a 20" stride length — or check out the features of the Smooth and Precor models suggested above.
