Horizon Elliptical Trainer - Good Value in Fitness
By Jim Kesel
According to Horizon the fluid motion of a horizon elliptical trainer is tied to its front located flywheel. If you are a new to elliptical trainers you may find the motion sometimes described as running in air, unusual. Horizon ellipticals are designed to be used in the home and are found in most big box retail stores such as Sears. The parent company Johnson manufactures Horizon elliptical trainers as well as its premier line called the elite series which is sold in high end fitness outlets. The only major difference between the two lines of ellipticals is in the consol electronics and the standard exercise routine programs.
Horizon elliptical trainers are very popular with people who use their equipment a couple of times a week. Horizon elliptical trainers are considered low to medium priced exercise equipment. This does not mean that they do not perform well if used in the home on a casual basis. However, if you are going to use your elliptical trainer 3 or more days a week using intensive exercise routine you may want to consider a higher end elliptical trainer.
Problems noted by Horizon elliptical trainer owners include problems with the braking system as well as frequent failure of many of the plastic parts. The Horizon EX 75 Dual Action Elliptical Trainer has a fairly good reputation and following among the in home elliptical trainer users. Comments included stable platform and easy to adjust resistance levels. This Horizon elliptical trainer model retails for about $1000.00. When considering any elliptical trainer we recommend that you spend at least $1000.00 and preferably $1200.00 to assure that you will get a good durable elliptical trainer. The Horizons EX 75 and CSE 4.6 elliptical trainer models meet this criteria.
The more expensive Horizon elliptical trainer models are popular and are considered a good buy. Prior to purchasing any piece of exercise equipment you should take the time to take the model you are considering for a test ride. This can be done at some of the fitness retail outlets. Make sure you spend at least thirty minutes on the machine while observing noise levels, stability and ease of operation. Also check out the exercise programs to see if they meet your exercise routine goals. It appears that the Horizon elliptical trainer comes with a one year warranty which we find insufficient. Spending the money for an extended warranty is recommended. Horizon elliptical trainers should be able to meet your in home exercise program.
