BENEFITS

Derived from extensive biomechanics research and user panel testing, SIXstar Certification™ is a unique combination of the six key elements needed to deliver the smoothest, most natural elliptical feel available:

  • Comfort

    • ZEROgap™ provides ideal pedal placement with zero distance between them to eliminate stress on hips and back.
    • The StraightUP™ body posture keeps your body upright for maximum comfort, minimal fatigue and faster results.
    • 11" SUREstep™provides easy access with a low step-on height to make it safer and easier to get on and off this elliptical.

    • The 20" FLATellipse™ foot path provides a more natural foot path, mimicking walking and running motions while minimizing fatigue.

    • A heavy-duty 17.6-lb. flywheel provides smooth, fluid movement.
    • Magnetic brake resistance is quiet and consistent.

Customer Reviews

  1. EX79 Elliptical Review by geonashjr
    Rating:

    Great machine!!

  2. Nice eliptical for the money Review by Joe
    Rating:

    We had a horizon treadmill and wanted a machine that would be easier on my wife's knee and foot. After doing a lot of research we felt the EX79 was a good elliptical for the money. We use the machine regularly and we really like it.

  3. One Great Workout!!! Review by gamed
    Rating:

    Easy assembly! The EX79 is sturdy and gives a really great workout. The ipod hookup is a great additional as is the power incline. Well worth the money for such good quality...

  4. GREAT PRODUCT Review by Flunati
    Rating:

    Great quality elliptical... Glad I spent a little more money than your average elliptical... This machine is just as good as the one I use at the gym...

  5. Great Value for the Price Review by Mitch
    Rating:

    I looked at Precor and just couldn't justify the big money. The Horizon was well priced and had the extra electronic interfaces that Precor did not, e.g., iPod and Nike+.

    Shipping was very quick Packaging was reasonably good, but could be improved. Build quality is very good. Assembly was simple and the instructions well thought out.

    I have been using the heck out of my EX79 and am very happy to have it as the centerpiece of my home gym.

  6. ...to save my life Review by Ken
    Rating:

    I bought this unit to save my life. I tested this unit at the store along with other display units and found this unit to be the only "knee friendly" machine. The ability to use this machine without knee or leg pain has allowed me to put in my 30 minutes per day exercise and will probably save my life.

  7. Love it, best value for home use. Review by Les.Is.More
    Rating:

    Bought this 3 days ago. Wife and I both love it. Easy to vary routines. Smooth motion is easy on hips, back, knees and shins. Able to do 60 minutes the second day. Having been doing 30 minutes on Schwin at work for 2 months. Like the motion and various workouts on the Horizon much better.
