Why the life fitness Aspire elliptical?

Smooth, Natural Elliptical Motion for Home and Commercial Training

The Life Fitness Aspire Elliptical, also known as the Aspire Cross-Trainer, combines Life Fitness biomechanics with a streamlined design for home gyms and commercial fitness environments. Its fixed 18-inch stride follows a natural elliptical path developed through Life Fitness biomechanics research, creating smooth, comfortable motion for a wide range of exercisers.

The 18-inch fixed stride works with oversized 15-inch pedals to provide a substantial training platform, while 25 resistance levels let users adjust workout intensity for everything from steady cardio sessions to more demanding interval training.

Moving handlebars bring the upper body into the workout, while stationary center handles provide another hand position when focusing primarily on lower-body movement. Contact and compatible wireless heart-rate monitoring provide options for tracking heart rate during training.

Built to last

Self-Powered Resistance with Substantial Construction

The Life Fitness Aspire Cross-Trainer uses a self-powered generator resistance system, allowing the core machine and SL console to operate without being positioned near an electrical outlet. Its substantial frame supports users up to 400 lbs, while transport wheels make repositioning the elliptical easier when needed.
