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.
    • 10" SUREstep™provides easy access with a low step-on height to make it safer and easier to get on and off this elliptical.
    • IDEALfit™ optimal handlebar spacing puts grips within ideal reach and distance for both small and large-framed users.
    • The 20" FLATellipse™ foot path provides a more natural foot path, mimicking walking and running motions while minimizing fatigue.
    • The SMOOTHpulley™large drive pulley ratio increases the angular momentum of the elliptical. This means you get the smoothest, most efficient motion possible.
  • Control

    • A heavy-duty 17.6-lb. flywheel provides smooth, fluid movement.
    • Magnetic brake resistance is quiet and consistent.
    • 20 levels of power incline and 20 electronic resistance levels enable you to control the intensity of your workout and target specific muscle groups.

    Have had the elliptical for only a couple of weeks. It was pretty easy to assemble. I love the options on it! Time will only tell how well it does.

    I have buyed this Horizon EX79 Elliptical in Mexico, but after 13 months of use it is now maiking noises on wheel. Also last month a screw was broken, I think the metal quality for the screw is poor.
    Now I am trying t figure out what the issue is with the wheel becuase it is doing a lot of noise during exercise.
