Why does my Life Fitness Elliptical Trainer have no power?
- Z
  zachary59Aug 16, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Life Fitness Elliptical Trainer might not be getting power. It could be due to an insufficient power source. Use a voltmeter to check the outlet. If there's no power, reset the circuit breaker. The line cord might be damaged, in which case it should be replaced. Also, check that the line cord is properly seated in the socket, both at the wall and the machine. Finally, the unit may be in 'Energy Saving Mode,' which activates after 5 minutes of inactivity. Pedal until you hear a beep to wake up the console; it takes about 50 seconds.

Why are heart rate readings abnormally elevated on my Life Fitness equipment?
- S
  Susan Torres DVMAug 28, 2025
  If heart rate readings on your Life Fitness equipment are abnormally elevated, electromagnetic interference might be the cause. This can be due to devices like TVs, antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines, other motor-driven exercise equipment, or another heart rate transmitter nearby (within 3 ft). Try moving the Life Fitness product a few inches away from the source of interference, or vice versa, until the heart rate readings become accurate.
