Why is the heart rate reading erratic or absent on my Life Fitness Equipment?
- JJacob MckinneyAug 3, 2025
If your Life Fitness Equipment displays an erratic or absent heart rate reading, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the belt transmitter electrodes are adequately wet. If they're dry, moisten them. Also, make sure the electrodes are lying flat against your skin. A poorly positioned belt can disrupt the signal. The transmitter might also need cleaning; gently wash it with mild soap and water. Ensure the belt transmitter is properly set up by initially bringing it within 1 foot of the console receiver until the heart rate is displayed, then extend the range to 3 feet. Finally, the chest strap battery might be depleted. Contact LIFE FITNESS Customer Support Services for instructions on how to have the chest strap replaced.
