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.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!, January 7, 2009

This review is from: Ironman Adventure Elliptical Trainer (Sports)

I recently purchased this elliptical as a holiday gift for myself...it seemed to be well reviewed and was a great deal. I ordered it and even though I was guaranteed shipping within one week, i received it three and half weeks later because the shipping company would only deliver "mondays and Thursdays" during the day time and needed a signature. I work full tiime and had to find a way to be home to sign for the delivery (which also wasn't in the time frame guaranteed). Putting the product together was very easy and when complete the machiene looked and worked great. I used it 3 times and started to hear a "catchin" noise on the right hand side where the pedal would go around (that is underneath the foot piece). I called the customer service number and was told the number is not available. I researched the web for another number and was transfered to a voice mail (in which i received no return call). Last night, i found out that Iron Man has gone Bankrupt and there is still some confusion as to who is going to buy out the remaining products. I was finally transfered to another "service" department who told me that they have yet to recieve any information about the product so they cannot help me. I have had my machiene less than a month and apparantly the warranty is not covered on it now that the company is bankrupt! I am at a loss of what to do...it still works, but that noise is beginning to drive me crazy when i use it! SO BE WARNED...IRONMAN HAS GONE BANKRUPT AND WILL NOT HELP YOU WITH YOUR PRODUCT OR COVER YOUR WARRANTY...

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute JUNK! - WARNING!, February 1, 2009

By 

Robo21 (Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ironman Adventure Elliptical Trainer (Sports)

What a horrible buying experience. We put the unit together and within a week it was making noises. The unit was repaired after about 2 months of waiting for parts. It turns out that the welds were defective from the factory on the pedal crank mechanism.

2 weeks later the control head electronics failed. No control over resistance or timer or anything. This time, after another long wait, a new control head was sent out but the technicians here could not repair the unit. They gave up! I was told I could return the unit to them or the place of purchase for a refund.

Thank goodness I got a refund before the company went belly up.

Avoid this unit like the plague.

4.0 out of 5 stars So far, great machine, especially for the price, November 14, 2009

This review is from: Ironman Adventure Elliptical Trainer (Sports)

We have the elliptical now for two months. We bought it knowing that replacing parts will be an issue and that the warranty probably won't mean much. Still, for that price, an elliptical of that quality is a bargain, however long you get out of it. So far it's fine.
Strengths: it has a lot of programs; it has long strides, and is very stable; it was relatively easy to put together; it's a fairly smooth stride; it can give very powerful resistance; it has a water cup holder. We're getting a lot of use from it.
Weaknesses: well, no good place to put your book. the heart rate monitor does not catch the signal from my monitor, and the hand grasps for it are not in a convenient location. Aside from these petty things, it's fine.
