Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy a total body workout without venturing off to the gym day after day with the Life Fitness X1 elliptical cross trainer. Life Fitness trainers are recognized by health club operators across the country for their smooth, natural performance. Whereas other elliptical machines often deliver an uneven resistance transfer--producing an uncomfortable, choppy feeling that interrupts the rhythm of your workout--Life Fitness trainers include a patented Link6 drive system that produces a stride that feels as good as walking, a must for low-impact workouts. In addition, the X1 works hard to keep you engaged and focused while you exercise. The advanced workout console offers a host of challenging workout programs, including sport-specific training or interactive heart rate monitoring using the Lifepulse digital hand sensors or Polar wireless chest strap. You can also save the name, age, weight, and workout preferences for multiple users in your household, or create custom workouts for each user. 
The X1 includes an advanced workout console with interactive heart rate monitoring. | The X1 accommodates users of all shapes and sizes thanks to its oversized pedals, which ensure that no matter how big, small, wide, or narrow your feet are, you can still expect the same club-quality experience. The pedals are also optimally spaced to minimize the lateral hip shifting that could put stress on your lower back. Best of all, the X1 disperses the efforts throughout both your legs and arms, helping your burn more calories with less perceived exertion. Other features include an ErgoGrip stationary handlebar that provides stability during lower-body-only workouts, a front-mounted bottle holder, a built-in reading rack, a 300-pound capacity, and an easy-to-read LCD display that tracks your distance, speed, calories burned, level, time, heart rate, and target heart rate. Equipped with a welded steel frame, the X1 measures 65 by 62 by 27 inches (W x H x D), weighs 205 pounds, and carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame, three years on parts, and one year on labor.

 LIFE FITNESS IS UNRELIABLE April 8, 2010

I purchased the Life Fitness X8 Elliptical Cross Trainer with the advanced console seven weeks ago. The Whisper eStride technology boasts a remarkably quiet, fluid electronic stride. However, my machine made a grinding sound with perceptible vibration. It was not comfortable to use for 30 minutes.
The activity zone module stride length was a major factor for my purchase since it would allow me to vary the distance from 18" to 24" to target different lower body muscle groups. In less that two months, one of the motors malfunctioned and the machine cannot be used due to the disparate stride lengths. I cannot recommend Life Fitness due to the poor construction and unreliability.
 good solid choice for a home elliptical March 25, 2010

We've had this elliptical with the advanced console for about 3 months now, and I love it. It's smooth, comfortable, and there are 20 resistance levels you can choose from. the advanced console comes with a polar chest strap, and it works great, and seems to be extremely accurate based on my manual tests.
I love the fact that I can pause the machine for as long as I want, as I like to do circuit workouts where I alternate cardio and resistance training. A simple press of a button to restart where I left off, and it keeps all the workout statistics. I would definitely pony up the extra $200 for the advanced console unless you really are not into seeing how your workout progresses or the some of the extra features. Entering a profile with age, weight, workout time, etc. saves you having to enter all those items each time, and are easily adjustable.
We shopped around ALOT before we got this, and both my wife and I are delighted.
This is an amazing product July 10, 2009

We've had ours for a few days and couldn't be happier. It doesn't have bells and whistles but I never used these at the health club anyway.
Here's the strong points 1) amazingly quiet (0 decibels), 2) same ergonomics or better than health club version, 3) solid construction (same as X3), and 4) very easy to assemble.
All I can say is wow. Got a good price $1699 for it too. This deal didn't last long (got lucky).
