2020 Elliptical Machine Reviews

Sole Fitness

Sole Fitness elliptical machines are built to last. You can expect a quiet and smooth ride, along with a durable machine that is ideal for a great workout. These are heavy duty elliptical machines with nice features and a value price. If you are in the market for a quality elliptical machine you should consider Sole Fitness.

Horizon

Horizon Fitness is a maker of home fitness equipment that offers a wide selection of elliptical machines. Their ViaFit and Passport technology brings ellipticals into the future with online workout tracking and video footage to add to the workout experience. The impressive selection of features and models ensures that the perfect machine is available for anyone in the market for a home elliptical machine.

Xterra

Xterra provides home gym customers the opportunity to choose from a small line of quality built elliptical machines. Their options are reasonably priced and come with a nice 60 return policy should you change your mind. The higher priced Xterra machines will provide the best, most ergonomically designed elliptical for a great ride.

Schwinn Elliptical Machines

We know that not everyone has thousands of dollars to buy home fitness equipment and were excited to find an affordable, good quality brand of elliptical machines with Schwinn. Customer reports are positive and most were surprised that elliptical machines, in this price range, could provide a quality, quiet, comfortable work out.

Life Fitness

Have you used an elliptical machine at your local YMCA or gym? If so, you've probably used a LifeFitness machine. As one of the top providers of professional gym equipment, they're a well-known name in the home fitness industry as well. Expect to spend quite a bit more for a LifeFitness elliptical machine, which also comes with a significant restocking fee of up to $500 if you should want to return your equipment.

Diamondback

The Diamondback Elliptical machine is sold at the upper price point. The bells and whistles available will satisfy the needs of those that like extra gadgets. The downside to Diamondback is that they aren't the go-to elliptical machines for those on a budget. They also have a shorter stride length than several other models designed best for taller customers.

Proform

Proform makes a wide range of ellipticals that are budget friendly, yet include some great features generally seen on more expensive brands. These are sturdy machines that don't skimp on stride width or design. But, with any budget model keep in mind they are not meant for a daily pounding from the heavier population.

Precor

You've probably seen the Precor line of ellipticals if you've ever worked out at a health club. A well-known name in the fitness equipment industry, Precor carries a wide range of cardio and fitness machines for both commercial and home use. With no return policy and higher prices, Precor falls somewhat short of their competition.

Health Rider

Healthrider makes a decent elliptical machine at an ok price. The technology of the Healthrider makes the product more interactive and fun than some other brands. However, durability issues strongly suggest purchasing the extended coverage.

NordicTrack

Despite the lower cost on some NordicTrack elliptical machines and accompanying nice features, we recommend you look at the big picture and choose a higher rated product that you can better depend on. If you still need a NordicTrack, protect yourself by purchasing an extended warranty.

Gold's Gym

Gold's Gym home equipment doesn't provide the same quality that we would expect from the Gold's Gym name. Very few customers would find it acceptable to have an elliptical machine with a wobbly frame and short stride width. We recommend you choose a higher rated elliptical machine for your fitness needs.
