All the ellipticals in this range have been developed in conjunction with Johnson Health Tech
As Livestrong have become one of the biggest brands of elliptical machines they can really offer keen prices. Backed by Johnson Health they have worked to produce reliable and strong machines that last.
Design features, all Livestrong Machines have the distinctive yellow colour scheme. They really look good like this and would compliment any gym.
The consoles and displays are a little hit or miss. Since the mid life upgrade the E2 models have much improved screens. The only model that has not had its upgrade, at time of writing, is the LS8.0E
When it comes to quality Livestrong are about mid table. There are no serious faults reported, and higher end models are backed with generous long warranties. From this perspective I would have no issues with a Livestrong Elliptical.
