Elliptical Reviews
E35 SOLE Elliptical
This mid-range model comes complete with the SOLE features we love but at a mid-level price. Features like cushioned and adjustable foot pedals and a heavy fly wheel for a sturdy and smooth performance. Its 22″ maximum stride length is hard to beat as well. This is a great elliptical but I recommend buying it on sale since it is originally priced at $2,000. Read More

E55 SOLE Elliptical
The E55 SOLE boasts club quality packed in a smaller home-friendly machine. This elliptical is designed for a quieter, smoother, more comfortable experience. The large fly-wheel contributes to the smooth ride as do the 4 rear wheels that glide on the rails. This secures the motion and limits side to side action. In addition the foot pedals are designed with a 2 degree inward slope putting the body in a better position to reduce stress on the ankles and knees. Read More
Life Fitness Integrity Series Summit Trainer
The Summit Trainer is not really an elliptical. It’s better! The design eliminates the elliptical motion and replaces it with a climbing action. Most people don’t realize that ellipticals, while no-impact, can put strain on the knee during the forward pushing phase. Making the change to climbing helps better protect the knees and intensifies the workout. Read More
Bowflex Max Trainer M5
This little baby was designed specifically for a quick interval workout in the privacy of your home. It is more closely related to a stepper or climber than the typical elliptical and includes 2 different arm positions so the user can get a full body workout. The Max Trainer is most known for its 14 minute high intensity interval workout which is pretty difficult and customizes to the user. Read More
NordicTrack FreeStride Trainer FS7i
The idea behind the FreeStride is that it is a complete cardio machine combining 3 machines in 1: Stepper, Elliptical, & Treadmill. It offers up to a 38 inch stride length, 24 resistance levels, and up to 10% incline. The cushioned pedals rotate on a belt rather than rails. This design provides a quiet and smooth experience.
