The most beneficial attribute of an elliptical trainer is its ability to provide an exceptional cardiovascular and weight-bearing workout without jeopardizing your joints or back. Above all, ellipticals should have an effortless glide and an intuitive feel that works in concert with your body.
Smooth elliptical cross trainers are praised by our customers and elliptical reviewers alike for their fluid motion and ultra-quiet performance plus other significant features including:
- Ergonomic, Pivoting Foot Pedal - Emulating the orthopaedic movement of your ankle, the pivoting foot pedal supports your heel while allowing your ankle to assume its most functional position throughout the entire elliptical cycle. Proper alignment prevents your ankle, knee and hip from suffering impact.
- Extra Long 21" Elliptical Stride - The EFit500 accommodates even the tallest users comfortably.
- Heavy Duty Flywheel - The elimination of rollers also eliminates the aggravating 'bump" sometimes felt with other elliptical machines. With a heavy duty flywheel, the EFit500 has a noticeably smoother ride than other ellipticals.
- Electromagnetic Braking System - The superior technology of electromagnetic brakes on elliptical machines allows for smooth transitions and stops even during strenuous workouts.
- Heavy Gauge Oval Steel Frame - Oval tubing is engineered to be stronger and adds a stylish flair to the EFit500.
- LED Display - With a four-window, dot matrix LED display, you can easily read course profiles, RPM, speed, watts, time, distance, pulse, heart rate, calories, resistance level, metabolic equivalents and target heart rate.
