Advantages: An easy to use, heavy duty aid to personal fitness and well being

...for home use. It is not possible to audition them all in your home environment. The gym I attended was equipped with Life Fitness machines, I liked the style and feel. I was used to its graphical display and so I chose that brand. This review is my experience of the specific model. I have been unable to carry out comparative testing.
