Overall Quality
The Life Fitness Platinum Club Series is a rear drive elliptical that provides silent and smooth performance between 25 high intensity levels of resistance. A fixed 20” stride length keeps users of most heights benefiting from the elliptical exercise motion on oversized pedals that provide a non-slip surface during exercise fun. The moving handlebars offer multiple grip positions to target alternate upper body extremities while stationary handlebars capture and transmit heartrate data to a 16” touchscreen that dominates the console. The SE3 HD console has both wired and Wi-Fi internet connections and allows users to stream videos, trek through interactive courses, and integrate with 3rd party fitness apps for hours of motivation during exercise sessions. Those that wear their lives on their wrists will enjoy the compatibility with both the Apple and Samsung galaxy watches.
