Fitness Tracking on a Premier Commercial Quality Machine

The Life Fitness Platinum Club Series treadmill is truly something to behold.  It comes with a choice of 3 consoles – including a jaw-dropping LCD touchscreen with internet connectivity, TV, and fitness tracking.

Best of all, the machine is based on the most popular commercial treadmill model available.  This is a true workhorse like its younger brother – the Life Fitness Club Series Treadmill.  You can’t go wrong with this machine IF you can afford the pretty price tag.

Features on the Life Fitness Platinum Club Series Treadmill

The Life Fitness Platinum Club Series treadmill has a few very notable upgrades over the Club Series treadmill.  First of all, it comes with an extra wide 22×60″ running deck.  It also has a choice of 3 consoles including a beautiful LCD touchscreen display that is compatible with fitness apps, integrated TV, Internet, and an Apple/Android connection.

The Platinum Club Series from Life Fitness also has an extremely powerful 4.0 HP AC continuous duty motor with Magna Drive motor controller.  It comes with an excellent warranty for lifetime coverage on the frame, shock absorbers, and motor.  It also has an impressive 10 year warranty on parts and 1 year on labor.

Several Life Fitness treadmills have received high ratings for ergonomics, ease of use, and construction from a popular consumer magazine.

Things We Like:

• The LCD touchscreen on this machine’s Discover SE3 Console is pretty sweet.  It will allow you to view TV shows, connect the internet and interact with your favorite fitness tracking applications.
• Choose from 3 different console options ranging in price from $6,999 to $8,999.
• The 4.0 HP AC motor is not going to let you down.  It’s just going to go and go and go and go!
• The Platinum Club Series comes Polar Telemetry Lifepulse Digital Heart Rate monitoring.
• The Quick Start feature will remember your preferred settings for speed and incline.

Things We Don’t Like:

• Ok, the price.  Is it really important for you to buy a $7,000-$9,000 machine to do your workouts when a cheaper machine like the Vision T-80 might be good enough?  It’s just like buying a car.  Yes, you would be fine with the Ford Focus, but the Mustang Shelby is just so nice!
• Really – we can’t say anything else critical of this machine.  It’s pretty awesome.

Overall, Life Fitness focuses on quality construction and ergonomics over fancy virtual bells and whistles.  If you just want a GREAT machine for running, then Life Fitness is perfect for you!
