Elliptical trainers are used to simulate activities such as stair climbing, walking or running with little impact to joints. The elliptical trainer is a great exercise machine to provide a low-impact cardio workout. Used regularly, elliptical trainers improve lung capacity and heart rate, plus tone and strengthen muscles, while burning unwanted calories.
Here are some of the reviews customers have left:
"This is totally worth buying! The quality is very good and it's easy to put together. I put it together mostly by myself and I'm a 21yr old female with average strength and it wasn't too hard. I did have trouble tightening a couple of bolts, but that was the hardest part, and mostly just because of the position of the bolt. Most of the pieces are together already, the pieces that need greasing were already greased. It comes with the tools you need to put it together, and the hardware is separated into what you need for each step, so there's no digging around looking for the right part. As far as the elliptical itself, it's awesome."
"I have only had this a few days, but I wanted to write a quick review. This is an upgrade of the EX-57 and so far I love it. It was very easy to put together (1.5 hours) and it is very quiet. I am an active exerciser (walking/exercise DVD's), but I wanted something I could put in front of my television and this fits the bill. And after 30 minutes I am exhausted and feel great, so this is doing the job (cardio)."
"This machine is a great purchase for my entire family. It took me about 2hours to assemble and had no issues. My wife, teenage daughters, and myself have all been using it 3-4times a week for the last month, so we've given it some good use. It's quiet, solid and has good feel to it. I would highly recommend it."
"I've owned this elliptical for about two weeks. The assembly was really straightforward and only took me about an hour and a half to complete. As other reviewers stated, each step of assembly has its own package of hardware which helps make putting it together much easier. Also, all required tools are included. As for the performance of the machine, I think it's great! I hadn't ever really used ellipticals before but I am loving the workout this provides. There are 10 levels of resistance and I have only gotten to level 4 so far. The machine is very quiet, not silent, but much quieter than a treadmill. Also, there is no impact which is great for the knees. The handlebars provide a great arm workout. I find it fun to switch off powering my stride with more of my arms and then more of my legs. This is something that cannot be done on a treadmill. Also, I have to say I am impressed with the internal speakers. I have my iPod connected and the sound is actually quite good. I mean not top-quality speakers obviously but the sound is very good. I would recommend this machine to anybody. I did a lot of internet research before this purchase and I am 100 percent satisfied with my decision. The warranty is better than most competitors which is another big plus for Horizon Fitness."
Overall, the Horizon Fitness EX-59 Elliptical Trainer is a decent buy for those who want a good workout at home without spending thousands of dollars. You get a good warranty along with all the features needed to put in serious workout time in your living room or home gym. Compare with other elliptical trainers within this price range and you will find this model to be quite competitive.
