Conclusion
The X5 elliptical trainer is another quality high-end elliptical trainer produced by Lifefitness.  The X5 is larger and heavier than the X1 and X3 models and includes some additional features and benefits over the smaller models.  One of the key benefits is the adjustable stride length. The X1 and X3 elliptical trainers came with a stride length of 20 inches which is great for those that are average height and a little above but could also be an issue for the shorter users.  The X5 on the other hand comes with an adjustable stride length that ranges from 18 to 24 inches.  The adjustable stride length on the X5 does have to be manually adjusted but it still provides a good length that will accommodate just about any user (there is an electrical adjustment option with the X7 elliptical trainer).

As with the other Lifefitness models the X5 elliptical has also received very good reviews.  That reviews that we have seen for the X5 elliptical trainer compliment those that we saw for the X1 and X3.  The elliptical produces a quiet and smooth workout and is a very sturdy and dependable machine.  The console, even the advanced one, does not have a lot of bells and whistles but this is a machine that is for someone that really wants quality over just having the latest gadgets.  The longer and adjustable stride length are really what separate the X5 apart from both the X1 and X3 models and the X7 with the electronically adjustable stride just gets better from there.

Overall the X5 is an excellent machine where the only real downfall is the price.  It's well worth considering if its price falls within your budget.
