The Cybex 750AT total body Arc trainer is technically a high-end commercial machine, meaning it excels in the most demanding environment. However, it’s also suitable for fitness-minded home users as well, with a compact footprint and a versatile, load-dependent design. Research shows that the Cybex Arc Trainer burns more calories than any other cross trainer or elliptical cross trainer on the market. The machine accomplishes this through its Reverse Arc motion technology, which engages the muscles–the quads and glutes–that demand the most energy from the body when they’re called upon to work. That means a higher intensity and a bigger calorie burn, giving you a complete workout in the shortest time possible. The Cybex 750AT total body Arc trainer is also load-dependent, meaning that it scales the resistance level to the user’s weight. This means that two users–one who weighs 250 pounds and the other 125 pounds–receive an equivalent workout when choosing the same program type.


The Cybex 750AT total body Arc trainer offers multiple workout variations usually reserved only for the gym, including three exercise zones: a low position called the Glide (similar to a ski machine), a medium position called the Stride (similar to an elliptical trainer), and a high position called the Climb (similar to a stair climber). The zones team up with a broad incline and resistance range to emphasize almost every lower body muscle group, letting users determine the motion that best suits their fitness needs. For example, users can select a high incline to work the quads, or lower the incline and increase the resistance to firm up the butt.

The Cybex 750AT total body Arc trainer is also far easier on the body than most exercise equipment. The trainer’s Reverse Arc motion technology places the user’s toe behind the knee, reducing stress on the joints while offering a complete range of motion for both the knee and hip. The machine’s Same Side Forward (SSF) orientation, meanwhile, ensures that the arm and leg on the same side move together, so that the relationship with the arm handle and footplate remains the same regardless of incline. This allows the user to always maintain an optimal posture during the exercise, which virtually eliminates back fatigue. Other cross trainers, by contrast, move the arms and legs in opposite directions, putting the body in a stressful position throughout the incline range. Finally, the Arc Trainer is equipped with long input arms that produce a more linear path, versus the shorter handles found on most equipment. This near-linear path minimizes painful wrist articulation, allowing you to get a better upper body workout and maintain good posture.

Workout-wise, the Cybex 750AT offers a wide variety of programs to suit your personal needs, including eight preset programs (such as weight loss, hill interval, strength, and cardio), nine custom programs, two advanced programs, and one user-selectable heart rate program. And it couldn’t be easier to monitor your workout thanks to the intuitive split-level display, which includes a magazine rack and a utility tray. Other features include compatibility with a detachable TV monitor (sold separately), a wireless heart rate monitor, dual water bottle holders, and a dual speed fan.
