Life Fitness CT9500HRR Crosstrainer Review

I have had the Life Fitness CT9500 HR Cross Trainer for seveal years and highly recommend it.  I originally purhcased it because I was having lower back problems and I was told that the eliptical would help, which it has.

I used most of the higher end Elipticals at the gym and found the I liked the Life Fitness versions the best. I know many other people prefer the Precor Elipticals but I find the motion of the Life Fitness more to my liking. 

I have probably spent a good 100 hours on the machine and it has never missed a beat.  My only complaint is that there is one plastic piece that gets loose that makes a noise.  I hit it with my knee and it stops, so no big deal.
