How the name works.

Name anatomy.
Editorial readLifePro is two pieces pushed together. "Life" is the broad one, covering health, longevity, activity, the whole project of staying well. "Pro" is the sharper one.
It comes from professional, but it's been clipped down so far that it now just means serious, or better, or one level above whatever the standard version is. Together they make a promise. This isn't a casual wellness product.
It's for someone who takes their body seriously. The construction is common enough that it doesn't feel invented, which is part of the point. The name sounds like it was always going to exist.
How it sounds.
Fig. 3LifePro joins two plain words with no seam between them, LIFE and PRO, and nothing about that join asks anything of your mouth. Both halves are common enough that a shopper reads it once and knows exactly how to say it out loud. There's no borrowed root, no odd vowel, no consonant pileup to catch on.
The interesting part isn't the sound at all, it's that PRO carries double duty here. It reads as a shortening of "professional" and also lands like the start of a bigger word, which gives the name a slight air of credentials without spelling any out. That's a small trick, and it's doing more work than the actual pronunciation is.
Buyer profile.

They started taking recovery seriously after one injury too many and found the physical therapy co-pays piling up faster than the results. They looked at the professional-grade equipment in the clinic, then at the consumer version, and started reading reviews. What tips them is the combination of a price that doesn't require justification and specs that look close enough to the brand the trainer uses.
They are not early adopters chasing the newest thing. They want the tool to work, the manual to be readable, and the box to arrive before the weekend when they actually have time to use it.

What it refuses.

Every refusal is a position a competitor still occupies. The white space the name claims is built from what it declines.

Read against the shelfThe "Pro" suffix does quiet sales work before anyone reads a product description. Recovery tools are a crowded shelf.
