Life Fitness 9500HR Elliptical Machine Review
Are you looking for a high quality heavy duty elliptical machine? Check out the Life Fitness 9500HR. This elliptical machine brings tremendous benefits in a short amount of time. As a result, it’s a popular product with not only with commercial work out facilities, but with the military.
The lucky thing for the home user is that the Life Fitness 9500HR elliptical machines are so robust that they are being refurbished and resold. Life Fitness frequently brings out the latest versions with up-to-the-minute characteristics and specifications. This leaves the home user able to afford a top notch elliptical machine for home use.
You should be aware that the best model of the 9500HR to buy is a later model one. Some of the previous versions of this model had defects in the back drives and problems with the hand grip heart rate sensors. The high volume of use would account for the problems, but Life Fitness made the 9500HR more robust, so that is the model referred to in this article.
Another item of note is that the step length goes only to about 18”. If you’re taller than 6’ or so, that might be too short to accommodate you. The handles and foot pedals have front and reverse action, allowing a full body workout, aimed at diverse muscle groups.
All the standard features are available on the Life Fitness 9500HR elliptical machine, and it runs without the noise you would expect. Here are just some of the features: 20 resistance levels, 9 predetermined courses for changing up your total workout, split level console, combination accessory tray and reading rack, special Life-pulse digital heart rate monitoring system that precisely determines individual heartbeats.
The refurbished Life-Fitness 9500HR is priced right, a popular, excellent, sensible, feature rich choice in elliptical machines. The only downside is the warranty on a refurbished product, since it tends to be less than that of a brand new machine. But adding an extended warranty (usually less than $200 for 2 years) allows you the affordable luxury of owning a top model elliptical machine.
