Life Fitness 9500 Next Generation W/ HR Treadmill

There are some treadmills that will be more waited upon in gyms than others will. The Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill is one such. It is a typically reliable-looking machine with loads of features other treadmills do not have. I also see the more serious runners gravitate to it. Let’s have a look at the specs and find out why it attracts the maximum traffic.

What I like about the new Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill is that it is tech-oriented and comes with loads of sophisticated user-friendly features.

The Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill takes care of one of the pain areas in treadmill maintenance – that of belt and deck maintenance. Over the years, I have seen that it is one of the most common reasons of treadmill breakdown. However, Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill has it’s patented Everwax system that continually waxes the system automatically thus making maintenance a cinch.

The other big plus is the deck. Not only is it wide enough that can be used comfortably and easily by tall and big users, but also comes equipped with the Flex Deck shock absorption system. It makes it easy on the joints, provides for a comfortable foot strike and push off. In fact, you will see the Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill in most of the up to date and upmarket gyms and also have the most traffic on it. Given it’s price, features, maintenance it is a machine for serious runners.

Looking at the Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill will give you a feel of sturdiness – it has a solid-state motor controller eliminating wearable components and a welded steel frame that adds to strength and stability. The Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill is a definite improvement over it’s precursor – the Life Fitness 95Ti Silver Bullet. The Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill’s large LED Display offers more reading values such as Pace, Prog profiles, MET etc. The Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill also has a touch sensitive HR monitor and comes with Polar telemetry facilities.

The Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill comes with a 6 month warranty on all parts and labor, a year on motor and alternator.

However, a new Life Fitness 9500 Next Gen with HR treadmill will cost you a neat packet – of around USD 3995, you can get an equally good refurbished one at anything between USD 2000 and 2300 and a used (good condition) one at USD 2100.

MY RATING OF THE LIFE FITNESS 9500 NEXT GEN WITH HR TREADMILL 4.5 out of 5 stars
