The Life Fitness CT9500HRR Next Generation Crosstrainer is a very versatile piece of workout equipment that is taking commercial gyms and health clubs by storm. With its biometrically designed moving handlebars, its ability to provide unique resistance both forwards and backwards, and its proprietary LifePulse digital heart rate monitoring system, the machine is able to work every muscle in the body while simultaneously monitoring and providing feedback on the user’s pulse and other encouraging statistics. Whether one uses the machine to walk, run, or step, every workout is very low impact—easy on the knees, ankles and shins—as the fluid movement of the Crosstrainer’s self-powered mechanism continuously adapts to the user’s stride plain.

At just 62 inches in height, 82 inches in length and 27 inches in width, the Life Fitness CT9500HRR Next Generation Crosstrainer has a very low profile; and despite its heavy-duty steel construction, it is also very mobile/portable thanks to the retractable front wheels that are welded to the frame. The machine boasts an intelligent touch screen display console, from which users can track and scrutinize a wide array of fitness data. Some of these statistics include calories burned during the workout (or calories burned per hour); pace; heart rate; METs; watts; resistance; incline; distance traveled; and elapsed time, among others.

The Life Fitness CT9500HRR Next Generation Crosstrainer is equipped with over 25 pre-programmed, built-in workout protocols. Designed by experts to help users get the most out of every workout, some of these programs include a customized warm up and cool down function; four personal trainer workouts, in which the user is challenged and encouraged to reach new objectives; 6 fully-customized workout plans; 7 hill courses—for the ultimate in fat burning; 5 interactive heart rate workouts; a Manual and Quick Start function; and many more. All workouts can be further adjusted for difficulty/intensity through the 20 fine-tuned stages of resistance.
