Is the Life Fitness Club Series Plus worth it over a cheaper home elliptical?

It is aimed at buyers who want club-grade build and a 24-inch touchscreen. If you don't need the 400 lb capacity or guided courses, a mid-range elliptical costs far less.

What is the stride length, and can it be adjusted?

The stride is fixed at 20 inches. There is no adjustment, so try one in person if you are much shorter or taller than average.

How much floor space does it need?

It measures about 87 inches long, 29 inches wide and 64 inches tall, and the length is listed as dynamic. Leave clearance around it for mounting and for the moving arms.

Does it work with a smartwatch or heart rate strap?

Yes. It pairs with Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch, and it is compatible with Polar and ANT+ heart rate straps over Bluetooth.

What comes in the box?

The cross trainer, an integrated accessory tray and a smartphone/tablet compression rack. Assembly is required given the 301 lb weight.

When is the best time to buy it?

Watch the price history and buy when it dips below its recent range. Large fitness machines often drop during holiday sales and January.

Our take on the Life Fitness Club Series Plus Cross Trainer

The Life Fitness Club Series Plus is a commercial-grade elliptical built for home gyms, with a 24-inch touchscreen, 18 pre-loaded workouts and Life Fitness's Lifescape interactive courses. It has a fixed 20-inch stride, 25 resistance levels and oversized 15-inch FlexForm pedals, and it supports a 400 lb user weight. It is a large, heavy machine: 87 inches long and 301 lbs, so it needs a dedicated room and a plan for delivery and assembly. No current store price was provided, so check the price history before buying.
