LifeCore CD400 C-Drive Center Drive Elliptical Trainer Review
The LifeCore CD400 is a center drive elliptical trainer…not something you see too much around anymore! Center drive elliptical trainer’s have two smaller flywheels on each side of the machine, as opposed to one large center based flywheel.
What We Experienced:
Naturally, we have to start by reviewing the unique feature of the machine…the center drive technology. Having the center drive technology in the LifeCore CD400 makes working out a lot more comfortable! The bouncing motion that you may experience in other elliptical trainers is non-existent here. You stand more upright and get a more natural and comfortable workout, which still burns the calories and gives you a quality cardio workout.
The size of the machine is perfect for everything it does. The CD400 measures 42”x64”x31” which is super compact for this great quality of a machine. Even though it’s compact, it’s still incredibly sturdy. If you’re trying to fit multiple machines in a small room or simply don’t have enough room for one of those long rectangular-like machines, this will certainly do! We love how small and compact this elliptical trainer is.
The stride length is 21” on the CD400. Having a 21” stride is great for some, not great for others. For tall men that can’t seem to find a stride over 20”, this machine is great for you! For a lady with a petite frame, the 21” stride may be too long for you. All of us (5’4”-6’1”) found the machine to be comfortable, but we’re not sure how someone 5’0” would feel on the machine.
There are 18 built in workout programs on the CD400. They are similar to what you would find on any other machine. 4 heart rate programs, 12 pre-set, 1 user designed program, and a heart rate recovery program.

Would We Recommend?
Of course we would recommend the LifeCore CD400! We absolutely loved everything about it and couldn’t find one thing that any of us disliked. The center drive technology made this one of the most comfortable experiences we’ve ever had. We love that you get a commercial grade workout feeling with such a small and sturdy elliptical trainer. The 21” stride is what really sold us on the machine though! For taller people, it’s hard to find an elliptical trainer with a long enough stride, but this certainly solves that problem. Overall, everything about this machine is absolutely perfect to us! Oh, and it gets even more bonus points for being a consumer reports best buy!
