Which is the best elliptical trainer?

March 3rd, 2010

I have tried many different elliptical trainers over the years in various different countries and gyms, so feel I can give you an accurate review of elliptical trainers.  The main problem a lot of people have with elliptical trainers is that they only suit people of a certain stride length, so if you are a 5 ft woman an elliptical trainer could be very uncomfortable to use.  For this reason I eliminate 99% of elliptical trainers at being a good purchase for gym owners or personal training studio owners.  One that stands out to me is the Octane elliptical trainer which I have put in My Fitness Studio .  The Octane range allows you to adjust the stride length to match your stride length, this feature has made it very popular amongst many of my customers, and is certainly the only elliptical trainer I would purchase.  For many people adjusting the stride length is not really necessary as the majority of elliptical trainers cater for the average person but this tends to be people from roughly 5ft 5in and above.  Tall people don’t tend to suffer if you are 6ft 9in most elliptical trainers should be fine for you, but if you are smaller than average you will most likely struggle.

If you are purchasing an elliptical trainer for yourself and you can’t adjust the stride length on the one you want to buy, but it feels comfortable, then this is not a problem, however, if it is for multiple people it may become a problem.
