Review Comments: Lifespan made major improvements with the new EL series ellipticals over last years EX series. Whereas the EX series had a clumsy motion at times and some suspect engineering, it seems that Lifespan has fixed those glaring problems. The EL 1000 is a solid unit offering an good value for the money. The only real difficulty that I see is that the $999 price point is extremely crowded and this unit is easy to overlook.
