Bring the gym into your home and get an efficient, high-caliber workout with the Horizon EX65 elliptical trainer, which works your legs as well as your upper body. Perfect for rigorous training routines, the EX65 offers programmable resistance with an 10-level range. The heavier 6.5 kilogram flywheel maintains pedal and arm momentum and offers a smooth, quiet operation. It includes nine preset programs--manual, intervals, weight loss, rolling, reverse train, random, user 1, user 2, and target heart rate. The contact heart rate monitor is built into the smaller subsidiary handles below the computer console, and also includes a cooling fan. The SmartBoard computer console has a blue backlit LCD display screen and easy-to-access control buttons for changing resistance and incline.
The Horizon Superconductor flywheel design provides continuous velocity, so as your feet move the pedals, the momentum carries you through the complete motion. It also applies a magnetic brake to the flywheel for resistance for more consistent resistance during a workout. The Instep stacked flywheel design--with the flywheel above the pedals versus in line with them--gives you a lower step-on height. You get a stride length that's longer, more natural, and more versatile across users, workouts and fitness levels. And, as an added benefit, the unit is smaller and shorter, so it fits in almost any room, including low-ceiling basements.
Horizon's Ergoflow elliptical geometry is around your body, not the machine's components. The distance between the pedals have been narrowed to create a more natural walking motion, and the pivoting footpad imitates how your foot's position changes as you move forward. And a more natural, ergonomic movement means less stress on your knees, hips, and lower back, so you enjoy longer workouts and faster results.

About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.
Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Quiet, easy to use, easy to assemble,
By
This review is from: Horizon EX65 Dual Action Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
Received this item yesterday in the mail.
Delivery was quick considering I used the free shipping option (about a week and a half to get). Piece of cake to assemble, instructions are clear and easy to follow and the bolts and nuts are packaged into 8 or so little baggies one for each step in the instruction set (this way you don't really have to figure out which bolt they are referring to). I assembled it by myself, didn't need more then one person which is nice. The hardest part assembling it by myself was the first step, which is to attach the front stabilizer bar that has wheels on it. This requires you to lift the front end slightly and keep it elevated while you screw this piece on. Once you have it on though it is easy to move at that point because of the wheels. Gave it a try and it runs smooth and quiet for me even with high resistance I can still watch TV without turning the volume to a crazy amount. So far overall I've found it great to use even though I've only been using it for a day ;) The only problem I had was the back right stabilizer bar got dinged and because of that the plastic cap on the end cracked. It is a decorative thing but that has been my only problem. I watched them unload and carry it into my apartment (Eagle freight) and they were not gentle at all so that being the only thing broken makes me happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Elliptical,
By cvconcrk (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horizon EX65 Dual Action Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
My wife and I assembled this elliptical a week ago and have been using it quite a bit. We love it. The stride length and pedal design make for very smooth rotations, with minimal up and down motion. That was a must for us, since my wife wanted to be able to read magazines while using it. We bought ours from a different online source, and for some reason, it was missing the power adapter. I called technical service at Horizon Fitness, and they immediately shipped an adapter to us in 3 business days. I also called them ~3 weeks ago when I was doing research on ellipticals, and they were just as friendly and helpful then. The only other problem was that there was a small crack in the top-right side of the elliptical's plastic housing, but it is not very noticable, has no chance of getting worse, and is entirely cosmetic. Overall, we are very pleased with our elliptical.

Works great!,

This review is from: Horizon EX65 Dual Action Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
This elliptical is great, I was able to put it together in 1-2 hours. I've had it for 2 weeks and so far works like a charm. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that every time I turn the console on it makes a LOUD beep (by design), which is a problem because I usually workout late at night, when the kids are asleep (loud noises sometimes wake kids up). There is a mute option, but it only works after the console is turned on. Other than that (which is really a minor annoyance) this machine is great!
