Work your entire body and tone your muscles fast with the ProForm Crosstrainer 600 elliptical trainer. The Crosstrainer 600 is equipped with a Silent Magnetic Resistance (SMR) system, a smooth, frictionless framework that allows you to adjust your workout intensity without interrupting your workout. As a result, you can easily find the right resistance level to keep you motivated, whether you want to boost your heart rate or challenge your arm and leg muscles. In addition, the trainer offers several preprogrammed workouts, including five cross-trainer programs (two for the upper body, two for the lower body, and one for the whole body), four weight loss programs, one heart rate program, and one preset program. The preprogrammed workouts add variety to your everyday workout routine, with the cross-training workouts challenging you with the full range of incline settings. And thanks to the Crosstrainer 600's multicolor ClearView display, it's a breeze to track your workout progress, with readings for speed, time, distance, resistance, pulse, and calories burned.

Other features include an EKG grip pulse sensor built into the handlebars; comfortable oversized pedals; an 18-inch elliptical stride length; a built-in workout fan to keep you cool; and a water bottle holder. The ProForm Crosstrainer 600, which supports up to 275 pounds, carries the following warranties: 10 years on the frame and 90 days on parts and labor.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice with only a few flaws, October 27, 2008

By	Kevin Pludeman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My wife and I have used this product nearly every day for two years and it has mostly been working great. I really like the motion of this machine compared to other ellipticals. Resistance levels from 0-10 give a wide range of resistance. Calorie counts, RPMs, and other items are tracked, and they do adjust for the different resistance levels. Also, it has two cup holders, one for water and one for remote controls. After two years of use I have not noticed any reduction in resistance.

Problems: 1. At low resistance (0-2) the left roller tends to lift off the rail, making an annoying banging sound as it lands back on the rail. This may be a flaw in my unit; however, the repair people were unable to fix it. Since I use resistance of 5-8, it's not a big deal. 2. My right foot pedal cracked and had to be replaced. 3. It has a heart rate monitor but it doesn't seem to work all that great.

Assembly wasn't too difficult but it did take a couple hours. Overall we're very satisfied with our purchase.
