Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This unit is excellent for the money. The construction is rugged enough for someone like myself who said "supersize me" a few times too often. It doesn't wobble under load, and offers very quiet and smooth operation. The space-saver feature is a real plus for me - I have a tiny house, and it easily folds into a small footprint - width 26" x 40" folded, and 66" unfolded. The front rollers make it possible for one person to move. The instrument panel works well - basic, functional resistance controls and a few decent training programs (I get rather amused by the marketing features that makes some of these machines boast about having a zillion programs, which are often fluff, or unusable). Assembly took me 4 hours, working alone - the instructions were the most clearly written I've seen in a long time. If you've ever changed your car's oil, you won't find any challenges here. I was able to get it into my house with the aid of a 2 wheel hand truck - two people (or opening the box outdoors) may be required.

Get fit even when the weather outside is dreadful with the ProForm 850 elliptical trainer. Equipped with a Silent Magnetic Resistance (SMR) system and a SpaceSaver foldaway design, the 850 is an ideal choice for people who want a complete cardio workout but don't have the room to dedicate to full-size exercise equipment. The SMR system is the heart of the trainer, as it lets you choose from 10 different intensity levels without interrupting your workout. Should you want to further mix up your workout routine, you can turn to the six personal trainer workouts, which automatically adjust the resistance levels to focus on aerobic, weight loss, and performance goals. Plus, the trainer includes two heart rate (HR) workouts that help you stay in the correct training zone. The HR options automatically increase the resistance when you need to raise your heart rate and decrease the resistance when you need to lower it.
The ProForm 850 elliptical trainer also makes it a breeze to track your workout progress, with an easy-to-read ClearView display that shows your time, resistance level, calories burned, and more. And users who need a little extra motivation will love the Pacing Coach, which lights up when you need to work a little harder or slow down a bit. Other features include a 5x7 workout matrix, a 180-degree viewing angle, a CoolAire fan that keeps you comfortable while you exercise, comfortable oversize pedals, and an 18-inch stride length. The ProForm 850 measures 27 by 61 by 61 inches (W x H x D) when unfolded.
About Elliptical Trainers Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.
Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.
