Live Strong Exercise Equipment by Lance Armstrong

The new line of Live Strong Exercise Equipment from Lance Armstrong that includes (4) treadmills, (3) ellipticals and a lone cylce was launched online today on their new website at LiveStrongFitness.com

I have yet to get my hands on any of the gear in person but will perform a scouting mission this week around Minneapolis and will report back with my findings when I have them.

To keep you satiated until then (because the new line of equipment looks really nice and hits the right price points) I'll give you my first impressions about their model lineups that I came across at Livestrongfitness.com

Live Strong Treadmills
The treadmills come in (4) models that range from the $799 entry level LS7.9T with a 2.5 chp motor and 20" x 55" live running area to the $1699 top of the line LS16.9T with a 3.25 chp motor, 20" x 60" live running area and wireless heart rate control.

Live Strong Ellipticals
The elliptical offerings from Live Strong aren't as varied as the treadmills with only (3) models making the initial curatin call. The budget elliptical in the group is the $799 LS7.9E with no incline option and 8 programs while the $1299 flagship LS12.9E is outfitted with 21 levels of incline, a 10+ livetrack fitness journal and wireless heart rate control.

***All ellipticals in their lineup use the same 23 pound flywheel and 20" stride

Live Strong Cycle
The lone offering from Live Strong in exercise bikes is the LS9.9IC which is a spin style bike. My guess with the bike offering is that they catered to Mr. Armstrong with the initial release and pegged a median price point with more bikes to be released as the sales numbers or inquiries demand it.

From the look of things it appears the the LiveStrongFitness brand has done their homework on the design and pricing of their equipment (not surprising considering they're manufactured by Johnson Health Tech who also make the Vision and Horizon brands) and should be a staunch competitor in the sweet spot of the home fitness market.
