The Word on the Street

The Livestrong LS7.9E elliptical trainer comes with many of the same standard features of the mid-range trainers, the LS9.9E and the LS12.9E, including a SixStar Certification™ frame for optimum body posture and ergonomic comfort, 20" stride length, 23-lb flywheel, in-console speakers and mp3 compatible plug-in, and 0" Q-factor pedal spacing. The other two models are slightly beefier with a higher user weight capacity and a few more programs, and they offer 21 incline levels which the LS7.9E does not.

Our Thoughts

At $799, the entry-level Livestrong LS7.9e elliptical trainer has potential to be a good buy in the future, but we’ll take a wait-and-see approach until the voluntary safety recall issues are resolved. If you are ready to make a purchase, skip the Livestrong ellipticals and go with a trainer with a proven track record. Check out the machines in this price range which are rated as “Best Buys” — the Schwinn 430 for $799, or the Sole E25 elliptical trainer for about $300 more.
