Lifegear Elliptical Trainer Review

Lifegear Elliptical Trainer

Just when you think there was no way anyone would manufacture and sell an elliptical trainer under $200, along comes Lifegear to try and capture the ultra budget market.

I understand what Lifegear is trying to do here by offering a low end machine that will appeal to Walmart shoppers that think that because it's cheap and has some features that it's a good deal.

The problem I have with budget ellipticals like the Lifegear (you can read my tirade on a similar model here) is that they aren't built to last.

When you try to slash the price this low, then add useful features like a good display console, you can take performance and durability and throw them out the window.

Low price and durability are two words that don't belong together in the same sentence. I don't care what the manufacturer woudl like you to believe...

Lifegear Elliptical Key Specs and Benefits:

• Cast Iron Flywheel
• Belt Drive with aluminum alloy belt wheel
• Magnetic Braking System with 8-level tension knob
• 5 Function buttons: Speed, Time, Calories Burned, Distance, and
  Hand Pulse
• Built in Transport Wheels for easy storage
• Large nonskid foot pedals with safety strap along with extra large saddle
• Weigh Capacity up to 250 lbs

Although the list of features looks decent for the money, don't be fooled into a false sense of confidence about the Lifegear elliptical or you're going to be sorry later.

If you can't afford a good elliptical trainer, save your money and take up walking for awhile. Then when the time comes to make a purchase, go see my best elliptical machine ratings and see which elliptical machines make the grade...
