$200.00

Confidence Fitness 2-in-1 is definitely designed for something grand. It is a stationary bike and an elliptical trainer at the same time!

Combining two of the most sought after exercise machines both in gyms and at home has made this elliptical machine popular in the market. On top of its unique concept, confidence Fitness also has a very attractive price.

Confidence fitness works as well as the other elliptical machines in the market. It also allows for maximum body movement through the oval motion feature of its foot pedals.

The machine can also help maximize movement in the lower body while reducing the stress typically experienced by the lower back, knees and ankles of the rider. It can be used for walking or for running, at more importantly, for cycling. This 2-in-1 machine is definitely at must have!

Comparing Confidence Fitness 2-in-1 with other Elliptical Machines

If you have tried using an elliptical machine yourself, you might agree with me that some models are just too awkward to use. Standing on a machine that moves your legs up and down can make you dizzy at times, or worse, fall off the machine itself. Confidence Fitness saw through this problem and so, its makers placed a seat on the machine. Now, the rider can just seat at times when he/she feels like fainting or falling down.

The machine can also accomodate riders who are not in the position to stand on an elliptical machine. For example, someone who has an injured arm may not be able to balance well on a standard elliptical machine, but with Confidence Fitness, he/she can just sit on the machine and still get the exercise that he/she needs for his/her lower body.

However, it has also been found out that sitting while doing an exercise on an elliptical machine reduces the resistance felt by the body during the entire course of the exercise.

This means that the rider will not get the most from his/her workout because some portions of his/her body is in a resting position. This reduces the effectiveness of toning and strengthening exercises designed for the lower body muscles.

The machine’s handlebars are also problematic for some. Compared to that of a standard elliptical machine, the handlebars of Confidence fitness are not strategically postioned in such as way that it can really support the rider while standing on the machine.

One reason for this is that the manufacturers of the machine tried to make the handlebars convenient both for sitting and standing. As it turns out, in its effort to accomodate for both, the handlebars became not as useful as it should.

Other Prominent Issues

Confidence Fitness 2-in-1 has three major issues that need further discussion. First is its unit weight. The machine is only 64 pounds! This weight is rather too low for a stable elliptical machine. As a result, it wiggles a lot and it also has a very low weight limit, only 250 pounds. The machine also feels so high, riding on the machine feels like wearing extremely high elevated stilletos. For most people, the stability of the elliptical machine is the most important factor they give consideration to when buying.

Another issue I have about this machine it its difficult assembly instrustions. The machine can be really frustrating to assemble and the customer service is also not strong, so you can’t really expect real help from them. Lastly, the ultimate issue I have with Confidence Fitness is its price.

Let’s face it, a cheap elliptical machine is cheap no matter how much we sugar coat it. There are more expensive stationary bikes in the market even! That’s how cheap Confidence Fitness it. Given that it is that cheap, one cannot really demand for so much quality as much as we can demand for more expensive products.

Nautilus E514 Elliptical Trainer

$599.95

Nonetheless, it cannot be compared to high-end elliptical machines; in fact, many exercises enthusiasts even believe that choosing this product is just a pure waste of money. But for those who think otherwise, here are their reasons:

Smooth and Quiet

Those who have tried using Nautilus E514 report that the machine is very quiet, which is perfect for those who are easily annoyed by noise. Many people also feel more secured when they are on a machine which does not make a sound because it implies that the machine is stable and sturdy.

However, some users also complain about the machine swaying due to weight limit. For this reason, it is best for users to identify first the weight limit of the machine and see if it can support his/her weight. When the weight limit is met, Nautilus will definitely run smoothly without any problem.

Polite Customer Service

One of the biggest plus why people stick to a specific company and patronize the products that they sell is their customer service. Nautilus gets ample approval when it comes to its customer support. Users reported that the customer service is very polite and attentive, although some say that most of the problems are left unfixed. For example, many users complain about the machines electronics (i.e. the console monitor being down rather too fast) and the customer service not being able to do anything about it except the classic offering of apologies.

Workout Programs

Another feature of this elliptical machine that has gained the approval of many of its users is its workout program. The machine is front-driven and has 11 workout profiles. On top of these 11, the machine also has 4 profiles for heart exercise, totalling to 17 programs (that’s almost equivalent to elliptical machines which are about five times more expensive than Nautilus).

Accessories

The machine also has the accessories that are necessary to someone who is working out. For example, it has a water bottle holder and a fan for cooling. It also has a backlit LCD for easy monitoring of the user’s exercises parameters (i.e. heart rate, pulse, speed, etc.).

Nautilus E514 also has a wireless chest strap for more accurate heart rate monitoring. This feature is rather rare for a budget model like Nautilus. In fact, this feature is usually present in high-end models only. Another feature that makes Nautilus stand out from other budget elliptical is its articulating foot pedals.

Limitations

But, just like all budget models, Nautilus has a lot of limitations. One common complaint among users is its 18-inch stride, which will disable others with feet longer than 18-inches to use the machine. It also has a 300 lbs. weight limit which many even say that is an exaggeration. Users say that the machine can only truly support up to 25o lbs., which is obviously very low compared to other models.

The machine also lack speakers and it does not have an audio jack too! This means that the user cannot integrate his/her music to the machine. But this will not be much of a problem since the user can just use his/her mp3 and get the same entertainment.

Other Information

This elliptical machine weighs a total of 165 pounds, including all parts. Its dimensions are 62 inches by 26 inches by 71 inches.

The lowest price for Nautilus is $620++ while the most expensive price offered online is $700++.  Its average rating from most review sites is 3.5 out of 5. Overall, this elliptical machine is already good enough for its price, especially for those who are not really very picky about their machine.

CYBEX 425A Arc Trainer

$4,995.00

Curiosity will make you want to try Cybex 750AT, but it will be your experience with the machine that will make you want to use it over and over again. This is the common reaction of those who have used of this elliptical machine for the first time. The users are impressed by Cybex Arc Trainer’s efficiency even when it is classified as home-use gym equipment, when most others can’t meet their standards.

Cybex 750AT Pros

1. Easy Motion Feature

This provides the user a great workout experience without stressing the joints. The “reverse arc” motion feature of the machine allows the legs to move biomechanically in the correct way. This enables maximum workout exercise without stressing too much leg muscles. Because of this, the user can speed longer periods of time on the machine and thus, achieve better results compared to those who use other machines. This is possible because the arc of the elliptical machine makes sure the toes of the user is never placed behind his/her knee.

2. Flexible Stride Height

An elliptical machine should be flexible enough to accommodate the reach of the user’s legs. For this reason, it will be really helpful if the machine has an adjustable stride height. As a general description of the stride height, from the user’s manual of the machine, it is said that the “lower incline” level has a height similar to that of a country skier; a “mid-range incline”, that of a normal elliptical machine position; and, the “high incline, comparable to that what you do when you are climbing.

You can also program the machine to a “Hill Profile”; this gives you the sensation that you are climbing a small hill.

3. Natural Movement

The machine is specially designed to help the legs and the arms move naturally. This gives the body optimal chance to move. As a result, the body will get maximum exercise while keeping the user in a comfortable position.

4. Digital Display

For fast and easy tracking, the machine is equipped with a digital screen that displays the calories burnt of the user, the METs, the amount of power exerted, the speed and heart rate. The screen also displays the current settings of the machine.

5. Self-powered Operation

Surprisingly, this Cybex 750AT does not need a power cord to operate.

6. Strong Customer Support

One of the strongest assets of Cybex is their costumer support system. Anytime that their clients feel the need to reach them for specific questions, they will be right there for you to help in in every way that they can.

Cybex 750AT Cons

1. Cool down Feature

One problem that I see with this machine is its lack of a cool down function. It is always helpful if the machine which is used allows the user to slowly cool down prior to stopping as this lessens the stress experienced by the body. Immediately jumping off the machine after a heavy work out might result to severe physical trauma.

2. Safety

This machine is also not so safe to be used with children and pets around. This machine can be dangerous because of its moving parts.

3. Gadget Tray

Most people nowadays prefer to work out with their iPod on. The problem with Cybex is that it does not have a tray where gadgets can be played. Although this can be solved by simply using an arm band that can hold the user’s gadgets.

Overall Impression

This machine is a very good elliptical machine and it is also quite affordable. Majority of the negative issues about this elliptical machine are almost negligible and are quite easy to solve. On the other hand, the positive features of Cybex can’t be easily found in other elliptical machines. So as a conclusion, this product is highly recommendable, especially to those who are new to working out.

Body Champ BRM3671 Cardio Dual Trainer

Click to View Product Details

$229.98

This home gym machine is an elliptical trainer that also functions as a stationary bike. This dual function is extremely useful to those who really want to push themselves to stay fit and lose weight. As it is perfectly normal for an average elliptical machine user to get tired and postpone their workout with the machine by using a stationary bike for a while, many of these users also lose interest to go back to the elliptical machine to do another hard core exercise session. For this reason, it would be really helpful if the elliptical machine itself can be used as a stationary bike without the user having to step off the machine. This way, he or she can continue with her or his training without interruptions or temptations to stop.

For less than $250, Body Champ BRM3671 is considerably cheap because of its dual function. It is manufactured by the famous sports equipment company called Body Flex. The company is known for its commitment to designing products that aim to improve user experience while in the pursuit of their health and overall wellness.

Body Champ BRM3671 Cardio Dual Trainer has the following key features:

1. It is a two-in-one training machine — like what has been repeatedly mentioned here, this machine can function as either an elliptical machine or a stationary bike.

2. Seat is adjustable in two ways — unlike other stationary bikes that have seat which are only adjustable vertically, Body Champ allows complete flexibility though its two-way seat adjustment system. The user can more the seat sideways, upwards or downwards to ensure maximum comfort ability.

3. The machine has a 14-inch stride — this machine can handle taller individuals who are not usually accommodated in other machines. For average users, this size is use right to allow maximum impact during jogging and walking exercises.

4. It has a programmable LCD console — the LCD console of the machine displays important attributes which can help the user assess his or her physical condition while doing the exercise routines. The LCD displays the time elapsed, the total distance travelled by the user, the speed or the user, his or her pulse rate and the power exerted by the user so far.

5. 12 exercise routine options — the machine is also pre-equipped with 12 programs which are designed to help the user maximize his or her exercise. These programs are also fully-customizable so that the user can alter portions of the program which he or she might find too difficult to do.

6. It has an adjustable magnetic resistance — the machine’s resistance can also be adjusted to give the user a smooth ride while using the machine. Resistance adjustment with Body Champ is very easy thanks to its LCD console.

7. The machine has a very compact design — who could have thought that two important body training machines can occupy the same space at the same time? Apart from this, the machine itself also takes up very little space; very perfect for homes which space is limited.

8. Body Champ has handlebar sensors — to make sure that the machine’s reading of the user’s body attributes is accurate; the machine is equipped with handlebar sensors.

9. The machine can support up to 250 pounds — however, it should be noted that some users who are in the 230-pound weight bracket have also reported that the machine wobble a little when they do high-intensity exercises.

General Conclusions

The machine is an excellent option for those who are really serious about keeping themselves fit. It is also an ideal option for those who are in a budget. The machine is fully-functional and its features are superb.

For its price, this machine can be considered rare. There are a lot of high quality elliptical machines out there but they are too costly, compared to Body Champ. Moreover, the machine comes with a 1-year warranty plus a 90-day replacement warranty for its parts.

Body Rider BRD2000 Elliptical Trainer with Seat

Click to View Product Details

$149.99

Living in the fast lane has disenfranchised a lot of people to do total body cardio training exercises. Our “busy schedules” have always stopped us from going to the gym to get fit. Fortunately, with the new BRD2000, this is about to change. The equipment in itself is both a training apparatus and a trainer. It is fully-loaded with features that enable a person to use it as if he or she is being instructed by someone who is an expert.

Body Rider BRD2000 is actually a combination of two machines. In essence, it is an elliptical machine but with the pedals installed, it can also function as a stationary bike. These two machines are very effective in burning fat and in improving heart conditions. Moreover, it has an adaptable chair that can be adjusted depending on the user’s requirements. If the user want to use it as an elliptical machine, he or she can remove the chair or if he or she wants to use it as a stationary bike, he or she can just re-install the seat and adjust its height accordingly.

Built for comfort, BRD2000 is also equipped with a fan that delivers constant air flow aimed to soothe the user as he or she trains. If that is not enough comfort for you, the manufacturers of this machine have even installed a digital gaming system into it so that you can play games and videos via its monitor while you exercise. The machine can also monitor you heart rate, the distance you have travelled (for both the stationary bike and the elliptical machine functions), the time you have consumed and so many other attributes.

Experts who have tested the machine claim that doing “20 moments” per day for at least 3 times a week will result to a total body workout that is comparable to a person who goes to the gym on a regular basis. With all these things promised, BRD2000 is surely a must buy for those who live a busy lifestyle but still wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The machine costs about $200 dollars, which is extremely cheap relative to the other machines of its kind (but you can also get this machine for only $150 in most Amazon.com listings). The machine has the following main features:

- It has an adjustable tension which can be easily tightened or loosen using a knob

- Its maximum stride length is 13 inches; this means that even those who have huge body build-ups can still use this machine with ease

- Its maximum weight capacity is 250 pounds or approximately 550 kilograms

- The product comes with a warranty

Product Pros and Cons

The Pros

Of course, the real good thing about this machine is that it is very affordable, not to mention that it has two functions. The features of the product are also very enticing. This machine makes an excellent choice for starters.

The Cons

Majority of the complaints of those who have already purchased of the machine is that it is very difficult to assemble. It is delivered in a box and the buyers do not find the assembly instructions easy to understand. However, one can always pay someone to do it, for an additional cost of course. Some users also complain that the tension of the bike easily loosens so they have to turn the knob every now and then to re-tighten the tension.

Conclusion

This product is still highly recommendable. Premium elliptical machines costs around $ 1500-$3000 each, such machines are about 10 to 20 times more expensive than the Body Rider. It is wise for starters to buy a relatively cheap product first before trying out the more expensive ones, especially if he or she is on a limited budget. Newbies are also advised to seek help in the assembly of the machine. It would be a pity if the machine wouldn’t be appreciated simply because one cannot assemble it.
