If you want low-impact cardio at home and have about 172 cm of floor length to spare, the Lifespan Fitness XT-39 pairs an 8 kg magnetic flywheel with a 50 cm stride for a smooth, full-length motion. Its 16 automatic resistance levels adjust mid-workout, and the backlit LCD tracks watts, cadence and calories without a phone.

It suits a household juggling cardio around limited space, since the frame folds down to 125 cm long between sessions and handles users up to 150 kg. The reversible motion also lets you switch muscle focus on the same machine.

Is this cross trainer right for you?

This cross trainer is right for you if:

  • You train 3-5 days a week and want smooth, low-impact cardio at home
  • You're under 150 kg and want 16 automatic resistance levels to progress through
  • You need to fold the machine down to 125 cm long between sessions to save floor space
  • You want a full 50 cm stride for a natural walking-to-jogging gait

Look at another option if:

  • You're over 150 kg or share the machine with a heavier user
  • You want a longer stride for taller runners, so a larger-framed trainer suits you better
  • You train by precise heart-rate zones; the hand pulse sensors are a general guide only
  • You want a built-in touchscreen with streaming apps rather than an LCD and tablet holder
Adela Ledvinkova, Our In-House Fitness Coach

Adela's Take

The reversible motion is the detail I'd flag first: pedalling backwards shifts the emphasis onto different leg muscles and breaks up a long session. With a 50 cm stride, taller users get a genuine stretch here.

The 8 kg flywheel keeps things smooth for steady sessions rather than flat-out sprints, so match your expectations. Its real standout is the folding frame dropping to 125 cm long, so you can reclaim floor space between workouts.

Folding Design, Reclaims 47 cm of Floor Space

The XT-39 folds down from 172 cm long to 125 cm, pulling nearly half a metre of footprint out of the room between sessions.

That makes it a realistic fit for a spare room, lounge corner or multi-use space rather than a dedicated gym.

  • Assembled footprint: 172 cm long x 63.5 cm wide
  • Folded footprint: 125 cm long x 63.5 cm wide
  • Saves 47 cm of length when folded
  • Height stays 179 cm folded or open, clears a standard 2.4 m ceiling

What this means for you: If your trainer has to share a room with the rest of your life, the folded 125 cm length is the number that matters.

16 Levels of Variable Automatic Magnetic Resistance

The console controls the magnetic resistance electronically across 16 levels, so you change difficulty from the display instead of reaching for a knob.

Automatic control is what lets the 10 programs shift resistance for you mid-workout.

  • 16 resistance levels
  • Magnetic resistance, variable automatic control
  • Adjusted from the console, not a manual dial
  • Drives the automatic interval and hill programs

What this means for you: Enough range that a brisk recovery session and a hard climbing interval both live on the same machine.

Lifespan Fitness XT-39 Folding Cross Trainer Variable Automatic Resistance feature

Backlit LCD Console, Seven Live Metrics

The large backlit LCD tracks seven numbers at once, so you can read effort and output without squinting in a dim room.

Watts and cadence are the two most coaches actually use for pacing.

  • Backlit LCD screen
  • Tracks Time, Speed, Distance, Calories, Pulse, Cadence and Watts
  • Backlight stays legible in low light
  • Watts readout for output-based pacing

What this means for you: Watts gives you an honest effort number that does not drift the way calorie estimates do.

Lifespan Fitness XT-39 Folding Cross Trainer Multi-Functional LCD Display feature

Front Drive Design with Dual Roller Guides

The front-drive layout places the flywheel ahead of you and runs the pedals on dual roller guides for a stable, settled stride.

Large anti-slip foot plates keep your feet planted through the cycle.

  • Front-drive elliptical layout
  • Dual roller guides for pedal tracking
  • Large anti-slip foot plates
  • Tubular steel frame

What this means for you: The dual rollers are what keep the pedal path from feeling loose as the levels climb.

50 cm Stride Length

A 50 cm stride lets most adults extend into a natural walking-to-jogging gait rather than a short, choppy shuffle.

  • Stride length: 50 cm
  • Suits a natural full-length gait for most adults
  • Fixed stride, no adjustment needed

What this means for you: If you are much taller than average, try the stride before you commit; 50 cm feels full for most, shorter for very tall users.

8 kg Cast Iron Magnetic Flywheel

The 8 kg cast iron flywheel carries momentum through the dead spots of the stroke, so the motion feels even rather than pulsing.

A heavier flywheel is a big part of how smooth an elliptical feels underfoot.

  • Flywheel: 8 kg cast iron
  • Magnetic resistance system
  • Carries momentum for an even stride

What this means for you: The flywheel weight is where this one earns its keep; it is the detail I would stake the smoothness on.

Lifespan Fitness XT-39 Folding Cross Trainer Heavy 8kg flywheel delivers a smooth motion feature

Simple Console Layout and Readouts

The console keeps the controls and the data on one backlit screen, so starting a session is a quick read rather than a menu hunt.

Speed, cadence and heart rate sit alongside your time and distance.

  • Single backlit LCD for controls and stats
  • Live cadence and speed readouts
  • Pulse shown from the hand sensors
  • Integrated tablet holder on the console

What this means for you: If you want to get on and go without decoding a screen, the layout stays out of your way.

Lifespan Fitness XT-39 Folding Cross Trainer Easy to Use Multi-Function LCD Display feature

Reversible Motion for Forward and Reverse Striding

You can pedal forward or reverse, which shifts the emphasis onto different muscles and breaks up the monotony of a long session.

Reversing changes how the work is shared across your legs.

  • Forward and reverse striding
  • Shifts muscle emphasis mid-session
  • No setup change to switch direction

What this means for you: Reverse striding is a free way to keep a 40-minute session from feeling like one long grind.

Lifespan Fitness XT-39 Folding Cross Trainer Reversible Motion For Greater Workout Variety feature

Belt Drive Transmission

The belt-drive system runs quietly enough to train while others are asleep nearby and needs no chain tensioning or lubrication.

  • Belt-drive transmission
  • Quiet operation
  • No chain lubrication or tensioning required

What this means for you: Low noise and low upkeep make this an easier machine to live with in a shared or upstairs room.

Lifespan Fitness XT-39 Folding Cross Trainer Belt Drive for a Quiet, Low Maintenance Workout feature

Integrated Tablet and Phone Holder

The console has a built-in holder that keeps a tablet or phone at eye level, so a show or a class fills the screen time without a stand.

  • Integrated tablet holder on the console
  • Holds a phone or tablet at eye level
  • No separate stand needed

What this means for you: A good spot for a screen is the quiet trick that turns a 30-minute session into something you will actually finish.

Lifespan Fitness XT-39 Folding Cross Trainer Built-In Tablet/Phone Holder feature

10 Pre-Set Workout Programs

Ten built-in programs vary the resistance for you, so you can follow a structured interval or hill session instead of staring at a flat setting.

Paired with the automatic resistance, the programs do the level changes without you touching the console.

  • 10 pre-set programs
  • Automatic resistance changes through each program
  • Covers steady, interval and hill-style sessions

What this means for you: Handy on the days you want to be told what to do rather than plan a session yourself.

Lifespan Fitness XT-39 Folding Cross Trainer 10 Programs for a variety of effective workouts feature

Space-Saving Folded Build and Portability

Folded, the XT-39 drops to a 125 cm length while the net weight stays at 64 kg, so it tucks away but stays planted during use.

That weight is also what keeps a heavier user steady at the top of the stride.

  • Folded length: 125 cm
  • Net weight: 64 kg
  • Maximum user weight: 150 kg
  • 12 months parts replacement warranty

What this means for you: The 150 kg user rating and 64 kg build mean it folds away without feeling flimsy when it is open.

Dimensions & Assembly

Product dimension or assembly diagram

What's in the Box & Setup

Effort: 6 assembly steps in the manual. Tools: a 5 mm Allen wrench and a 13 to 15 mm spanner, both supplied (bolts and fixings are included).

What arrives

  • Main cross trainer unit (front-drive frame, partially assembled)
  • Handlebar post, front stabiliser, moving handlebars, middle handlebar and console
  • Left and right foot pedals with anti-slip plates
  • Power adapter
  • Hardware pack with a 5 mm Allen wrench and 13 to 15 mm spanner
  • User manual with 6 assembly steps

Setup reality

  1. The frame arrives partially assembled. Following the manual's 6 steps, you fit the handlebar post, the front stabiliser, the pedals, the folding rail handle, the moving handlebars, then the middle handlebar and console.
  2. The supplied 5 mm Allen wrench and 13 to 15 mm spanner cover every step; bolts and fixings are included, and some come pre-fitted on the parts.
  3. The console runs off the included power adapter, so position the machine near a power point. Use the floor levellers if it rocks on an uneven floor.
  4. The unit weighs 64 kg assembled and measures 172 cm long, so clear the space before you start. Folding (lift the handle until the gas spring clicks into place) brings the length down to 125 cm.
  5. 12 months parts replacement warranty included.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quiet is the XT-39 during a workout?

Quiet. It runs on a belt drive paired with an 8 kg magnetic flywheel, so there's no friction pad rubbing or chain noise, just a low hum. You can comfortably watch TV or take a call while you train. On upstairs installs, a 6 mm rubber mat under the frame reduces footstrike transfer to the room below.

Is the 50 cm stride length long enough for taller users?

For most people, yes. The 50 cm stride gives most adults a natural gliding motion. Very tall users who want a longer, more open stride may find it on the shorter side, so try one if you can. For walking, general cardio and most home training, it's a good, smooth length.

What does the reversible motion actually do?

You can pedal forwards or backwards. Reversing the direction shifts the emphasis onto different leg muscles compared with the forward stroke. It's a simple way to add variety to a session without changing machines. I use it with clients to keep longer sessions interesting.

How accurate is the heart rate reading?

The hand pulse sensors (EKG) in the grips are fine for a general pulse check during steadier efforts. Grip sensors lose accuracy once your hands are moving or sweaty, and Lifespan notes they show general heart-rate trends and aren't medical devices, so use a separate heart-rate monitor if you train by precise zones.

How much space does it need, and does folding help?

Assembled it's 172 cm long, 63.5 cm wide and 179 cm tall, so it clears a standard 2.4 m ceiling easily. Folded, the length drops to 125 cm, which frees up floor space between sessions. Leave clearance behind and around it for safe striding. Confirm the standing height works under any sloped or low ceiling area.

What's involved in assembling it?

The frame arrives partially assembled and the manual covers the rest in 6 steps: the handlebar post, front stabiliser, pedals, the folding rail handle, the moving handlebars, then the middle handlebar and console. A 5 mm Allen wrench and a 13 to 15 mm spanner are supplied, along with all the bolts and fixings. Lay the parts out first and work through the steps in order.

What happens if it arrives damaged or a part is missing?

Take photos before unpacking and email support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll lodge the freight claim, send replacement parts or a full unit, and stay across it until you're set up. You don't deal with the courier or Lifespan Fitness directly, that's our job to sort.

What warranty and change-of-mind cover does it come with?

The XT-39 comes with 12 months parts replacement warranty, handled by us. If the product page shows the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee badge, you have 100 days to change your mind: return it as-new, disassembled, in the original packaging with all parts.
