Sole Elliptical Trainers

Sole elliptical trainers are designed for those who want the absolute best. Falling toward the upper end of the market, these home fitness machines offer all the stability, durability, and advanced features that are essential for more vigorous, consistent workouts.

What makes Sole unique in the home fitness industry is that they consult physical therapists and other professionals when designing their exercise machines. As a result, they have some of the most comfortable foot pedals because they are sloped in just the right angle to release tension from the knees and other sensitive leg joints.

They also have heavier flywheels, for ultra smooth functioning.

The basic and lowest priced model is the Sole E25 Elliptical Trainer, and even it is jam packed with valuable features. For starters, it comes with a backlit LCD console which is very easy to read, even in dim lighting. It also includes a water bottle holder, built-in fan, and MP3 connection with speaker system. These are features you simply will not find on lower end models.

The basic features on this model which are standard for all Sole elliptical trainers as well includes pedals which move forward and backward, moving arm handles that incorporate the upper body into the workout, and heart rate sensors on the front handle bars. The machine will also incline up to 30 degrees, though you must manually set the incline on this model.

The stride length is 20 inches and it comes with 20 levels of resistance. This is more than adequate for users who want a very challenging in-home workout. This model is suitable for users up to 325 pounds, which is higher than lower end models can handle. All repairs are done through in-home specialists and the warranty includes lifetime coverage on the frame, 3 years on electronics, and 1 year on labor.

The Sole E35 Elliptical Trainer is basically an updated model which takes the incline up to 40 degrees and allows for automatic adjustment. The foot pedals are a bit longer and it also adds in 8 preprogrammed workout options and a sturdier frame which can accommodate users up to 375 pounds. It also takes the warranty up to 5 years on electronics and 2 years on labor

Moving up in price range as well as luxury features are the Sole E55 and E95. The Sole E55 Elliptical Trainer takes all the basic features of the previous models and adds in a variety of comfort features. The handlebars have built-in controls for automatic incline and resistance adjustment and the foot pedals can be adjusted for the best fit. It also allows full heart rate monitoring, not just pulse control like the other models. It includes 10 preprogrammed workout options.

The Sole E95 Elliptical Trainer is modeled after fitness club machines which are more durable, with a wide variety of advanced features. This is a heavy duty machine which can accommodate users up to 400 pounds. It also features a heavier flywheel and supportive, foam-cushioned pedals.

When picking out Sole elliptical trainers, it does not come down to quality, durability, or available features. You simply select from these models based on what you can afford to spend, as each one is well worth the price in terms of the workout delivered.
