Reebok Elliptical Trainer - the bee's knees.
While in theory there are two Reebok Elliptical Trainers to choose from, the RL 725 and the RL 525, in practice, RL 725 retailers are scarcer than hen's teeth (I started so I'll continue) at the moment. So, for the time being, we will confine ourselves to having a look at the RL 525 Reebok elliptical trainer.
The current sweet spot for home elliptical machines seems to be in the $500 to $800 range with most of the manufacturers having a model or two in this category. With most of these models having similar specifications and features, at the end of the day, a choice is often made on brand name recognition and reputation, and is there any bigger and better than Reebok.
With the Reebok RL 525 elliptical trainer you get your dual action, upper body, lower body, all-round workout capabilities. Supported by 8 preprogrammed workout options, two of them heart-rate controlled, EKG grip pulse system, built in fan, Club-Tech console, iFIT interactive technology and adjustable footrests with DMX cushioning. This is backed up by a one year parts and labor guarantee.
All round, for your average punter (and that's 90% of us), who wants to be able to perform a cardio workout four or five times a week at home, on an reliable elliptical that give a bit of feedback and is going to last four, five years or longer with a bit of TLC, the Reebok elliptical trainer is well worth your 5 or 6 hundred bucks.
Sole Elliptical Trainer, formerly the Reebok Body Trec
An elliptical, at the club quality end of the market, that used to be part of the Reebok stable, the Reebok Body Trec, is still available as a remanufactured unit. Brand new it can be found masquerading under another brand name, the Sole E89 elliptical trainer.
The Sole E89 elliptical cross trainer is a club quality machine with a small footprint suitable for home use. The beautiful thing about the E89 supplied by Sole Fitness is that it comes with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee where they take all the risk. In this case you can buy an elliptical online without giving it a workout first, as Sole Fitness will give you a total refund, including shipping costs both ways, in the event that you are not happy with their machine.
