The seat is very uncomfortable and the tension feels a 4 or 5 level at the lowest setting..

This bike is very sturdy and looks good. However, the seat is huge and very uncomfortable. I'm not a large person, so that's probably part of the problem. I'm 5' 9" 180 lbs. I'm going back to my 5500 model that's 21 years old.

We have owned our C3 Life Fitness stationary bike for 3 years now. We are on our THIRD clutch. The bike starts slipping when pedaling therefore needing a new clutch. We are not large people and use the bike daily. We had a prior Life Fitness stationary bike we owned/used for 10 years with no problems at all. Needless to say, we wont fix this bike again and will move on to another manufacturer.

This is my second C3. The first failed twice(magnetic drive) during the 4 years I had it. Life Fitness replaced the first drive under warranty. The second failure was too costly to repair. I had a Life Fitness HR bike for years and never had a problem so am giving them another chance as I liked the C3 when it worked. This time I bought the extended 5 year warranty which added $400 to the cost but I depend on the bike for exercise so couldn't take a chance. I won't recommend the bike until I find out if this bike holds up better.

I bought this bike in 2014 and within 1 year pedal kept slipping. They came out and replaced the generator and was working fine. 1 year later the same thing happened and they covered the part but I had to pay for service. Worked again for 1 year before it started slipping again and I have been told I am responsible for a $441.33 part and pay for service. They will not cover anything. The bike gets moderate use from my husband and myself. Supervisor has not called back. Terrible customer service! I should not be responsible for a dime since it was the same problem from the first year.

I use this equipment everyday at home; it runs smooth with a non-bothersome humming sound while in use; however, it has developed a rattling/banging sound in the drivetrain while peddling. Initially it was because the seat was loose and tightening the seat post helped for awhile; but the sound has returned upon riding the bike after several minutes. Also, there is no padding on the handlebars such as there are with the same bike at the gym. Makes it uncomfortable with the arms and elbows on the extended bars.
