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 WARNING - Keys Fitness, December 3, 2008

This review is from: Keys Center G CG2 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)

I purchased this elliptical in April of 2008. Over the last couple of weeks it began to make a loud knocking sound every time I used it. I found a broken bolt from the pedal mechanism on the floor when I investigated the problem. I made several calls to Keys to get warranty support as I am within the warranty. They have a message on their voicemail stating they are moving offices and won't be taking calls until after 11/24 (It's 12/3 today and the message still hasn't changed). They haven't responded to any of my emails. None of the local repair companies will perform warranty work on the machine so I now have to pay out of pocket to have it fixed. It will probably end up costing me upwards of $200 for something that should be covered under warranty. Ridiculous. Stay away from this company and from their products.
