The E35 Sole Elliptical Machine is another smooth operator from this industry leader. With the usual impressive warranty, this stalwart from Dick's Sporting Goods is a reliable training partner. The Sole E35 Elliptical Trainer goes about its business quietly, allowing you to rev up both your aerobic fitness and your weight loss efforts.
Drive Dynamics: The action is ultra smooth and whisper quiet. The machines aren't limited to a forward motion, but add vital reverse action to the mix. The advantage of this bonus is that you can bring other muscle groups into play by switching to reverse mode. The trainer sports a 30 pound flywheel and an outstandingly high gear ratio. As a result your partner comes with a massive 16 resistance levels.
Feedback Fun: The console is easy to decipher. The backlit LCD display has a snazzy blue background.
Stride Length: Even fairly tall people should be comfortable with the 20 inch stride length.
Weight Capacity: This robust trainer happily accommodated user weights of up to 300 pounds.
Program Parameters: The superb range of workouts include 8 scientifically designed programs and one customizable workout. Cross training handlebars add an extra dimension to your workout. While your lower body gets its share of the action, your chest, arms and shoulders are challenged for a full body workout.
Heart Rate Happenings: Both a chest strap and hand grip pulse sensors form part of the package.
Warranty Run: As with other models, E35 Sole Ellipticals are known for their extended warranties. In this case the frame comes with lifetime coverage. Parts and electronics have a five year warranty. The labor coverage stretches over two years.
General Feel: User comfort has been given loads of attention. The pedals are oversized for a pleasant fit and have been designed with a special slope to minimize ankle and knee discomfort. Softly breezing fans enable you to keep your cool while training, while the bottle holder takes care of a dry throat.
