10 Best Elliptical Trainers

Precor AMT 835

Precor AMT 835

The AMT 835 from the inventor of elliptical trainers is a gem. The Adaptive Motion Trainer is part of Precor’s mid-level offering and offers best-in-class customizable, thanks to the adaptive Open Stride feature.

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 80’’ X 35’’ X 69’’
• Stride Length: 36’’ (Max.)
• Incline: No
• Flywheel: N/A
• Heart Rate Monitor: Yes
• Preloaded Workouts: 6
• Maximum Weight: 350lbs

Although there is no separate setting to control the incline, the Open Stride feature ensures that one could manually adjust the stride length and the stride height to simulate various training conditions. This technology from Precor is quite revolutionary.

A wireless heart rate monitor records the heartbeat while the 7” screen offers an in-depth statistics of the current session including distance, calories, and the time elapsed.

However, only 6 preloaded workout programs is a letdown and a certain level of variety right out of the box would offer a much more immersive experience.

The Elliptical does not come cheap though, it retails at around US$8,895.
