"'Engineering with the biomechanics of the human stride in mind'...this is exactly what seperates (it) from the other ellipticals in its class. The ribbed pedals rest on a more horizontal plane than many other designs, and this brings a better sense of balance for the user. The handlebars are ergonomically designed to put the hands in their most natural position. Beyond these 'biomechanics,' however, the extra features are extraordinary in this price range. The console features 'multiple' programs, plus heart rate...EKG levels are monitored by grip pulses for constant feedback...electromagnetic generator ensures smooth running operation."

"...They launched their first treadmill in 1997 and in a short period of time they became a major player in the fitness equipment industry by selling on value."
"Once a sale is made all future service issues are handled directly..."
"these elliptical trainers offer both rear and front drive models. From a value perspective, they are better then an Icon product (NordicTrack, Pro Form, Image, HealthRider, Reebok, or Weslo brands) since they focus on the basics and don't get carried away with bells and whistles."

"An elliptical machine is an elliptical machine, right? Not anymore…a cutting-edge trainer designed for home usage that’s as innovative as it is sleek and contemporary…engineered with patented center-drive technology to ensure a comfortable, natural-feeling workout…affordable, compact, and interactive. "

"... a comfortable, natural-feeling workout."
"... gym-quality equipment for the home"

"This elliptical has a good look to it, and with the first strides, a good feel."

"This elliptical is the smoothest, least jarring elliptical available, with the most natural striding motion. Unlike many ellipticals, it is designed for proper spine alignment and posture,reducing the risk of back pain. It's also suprisingly compact. "

"Just finished my first workout on this elliptical this morning for 112 minutes and it is awesome! It is so quiet that you literally can't hear anything moving. It is called whisper quiet and I totally agree. I purchased it from / and picked it up in West Los Angeles."

"…Smooth, quiet and user friendly. A pleasure to use."

"…Having only had it one day I cannot comment on durability, but it feels solid, doesn't move around at all when you are on it, has very smooth motion compared to all the other brands we tried, and is incredibly quiet. The other thing we liked is that the pedals are only about 2" apart--which is very desirable in avoiding joint problems."
