1. Operating mode 

Based on the resistance and how they work, we have 4 types of elliptical machine.

• Electromagnetic: Automatic resistance adjustment on the display in watts, requires power supply. 
• Magnetic (Electric): Electronic resistance adjustment on the display, requires power supply. 
• Magnetic (Manual): Manual resistance adjustment, no power supply required.
• No Resistance: The elliptical machine works without resistance and therefore without difficulty levels

2. Disc Weight

The heavier the disc, the greater the resistance and the work produced during exercise.

• Up to 8 kg (47)
• From 8 to 12 kg (56)
• Over 12 kg (40)

3. Maximum User Weight

For proper operation of the machine, the user's maximum weight should be 10-12 kilos less than the factory maximum user weight. Choose the maximum user weight from the filter, based on your own needs

• Up to 100 kg
• 105 to 130 kg 
• Over 130 kg

4. Stride Length

It is directly related to the size of the disc. The larger the disc, the greater the user's stride length, while at the same time reducing the strain on the joints. If the exerciser is tall, they will exercise more effectively on a machine that offers a longer stride.

1. For simple use

If you don't plan on doing intense workouts, you can choose an elliptical machine either without resistance or with manual magnetic resistance, with the maximum user weight that meets your needs.

2. For intense workouts

If you want progression in your workouts, choose an elliptical with electromagnetic resistance so you can adjust the intensity each time. Also, choose an elliptical machine with a stride length, on average 45 cm.

And don't forget to check if it has the ability to measure heart rate and if it covers the maximum user weight.

3. For gadget lovers

If everything in your home is smart, why shouldn't your elliptical be too? Choose an elliptical with Bluetooth to easily connect to your phone and track your progress, with the ability for fat measurement, heart rate monitoring, USB port, and tablet/mobile holder to keep your smartphone in a safe place.

4. For space saving

If space is important to you, choose an elliptical machine with wheels that folds for easy moving and storage. Usually, those without resistance or those that operate without electricity are lighter. Check the product specifications for weight to make sure you can easily move it.

Don't forget! Many times there may be differences in a product based on its overall characteristics and construction. Before deciding, read reviews from other users to see their opinions too!
