Why is the wireless heart rate not working on my Life Fitness Elliptical Trainer?
- M
  micheal90Aug 18, 2025
  If the wireless heart rate is not working on your Life Fitness Elliptical Trainer, first, ensure that the WIRELESS HR is turned ON in the Settings Menu. Also, poor contact between the telemetry heart rate strap and the skin can be the cause. Electrical interference from appliances or fluorescent lights can also interfere, so try moving the elliptical or appliances. Finally, the battery in the Heart Rate Telemetry Strap (CR2032 3V) may need to be replaced.

  Eric BrownAug 26, 2025
  If the console of your Life Fitness Fitness Equipment is non-operative, first check that the transformer is plugged in and that the wiring harness is connected to the console. Inspect the wiring harness in the upright tube or at the base frame to ensure proper connections. If connections are correct, replace the transformer. If the issue persists, replace the console. This may be due to the transformer not being plugged in, the wiring harness not being connected, or pinched wire harnesses.

  If your Life Fitness Fitness Equipment is making a metallic scraping noise in either the forward or reverse direction (Version 1 units only), the magnet might be rubbing on the aluminum disk, or the chopper wheel may be hitting the OPTO Sensor. Remove the bottom rear shroud and inspect the position of the magnets to see if they are rubbing on the aluminum disk. If they are, re-center the OPTO Sensor.

  If there is no speed readout on the console of your Life Fitness Fitness Equipment (Version 1), verify that the connections between the OPTO sensor and wiring harness are secure. Also, the chopper wheel might not be spinning between the two tabs of the OPTO sensor; if so, bend the OPTO bracket slightly upwards. This issue may arise from loose connections between the OPTO sensor and wiring harness, or the chopper wheel not spinning correctly.

  thomasleslieSep 6, 2025
  To fix a slight bump or hitch in the pedal motion of your Life Fitness Fitness Equipment, remove all clevis covers and loosen all six bolts that connect links to clevis brackets. Loosen the nuts a couple of turns so the machine can still be operated. Operate the machine a few revolutions to help seat the pivot points, then retighten the six bolts and install the clevis covers. Also, ensure the levelers are in contact with the floor and that the leveler jam nuts are properly tightened. The issue may be due to pivot points not being broken in or levelers not being in contact with the floor.
