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.

Many will also refute the claim alleging there will always be pros and cons for using the elliptical trainer, which numerous people state is the best exercise machine for everyone.

Because of the space it takes when it is not in use is the reason why a folding elliptical trainer is a big hit. An average heavy duty elliptical machine will usually use up a lot of space which people value, compared to a folding elliptical trainer, which you are able to fold up and get out of the way, because most have small wheels to help facilitate the move, storage is not a problem, nor is moving it around.

The main reason why the folding elliptical home trainer and all other forms of elliptical workout machines have become a sensation in the fitness world, according to the reviews, is because of the reduced or low impact concept of the elliptical technology. This helps reduce the stress in our ankles, knees and other joints as well as ligaments and tendons.

Most collapsible elliptical trainers made today have the upper body workout as well as the lower body functions. These serve to give individuals a great cardiovascular workout as well as an overall large muscle group workout.

There is actually no wasted energy when using this machine properly, because all effort expended by the individual is used to burn calories and fats, because the folding elliptical trainer and most other elliptical gym trainers work this way.

Many physicians do advocate combining other exerice with the use of your folding elliptical trainer. This is because our bones still need some form of impact to help make them more dense and strong.

Another form of aerobic exercise to supplement the routines using your folding home elliptical machine, as sticking to just one kind of exercise is not as balanced as you might believe, is brisk walking for stamina researchers state.

Perfect for rigorous training routines, the Horizon Fitness EX-57 elliptical trainer offers an eight-level electronic resistance system, along with a heavy 14-pound flywheel that maintains pedal and arm momentum while offering a smooth, quiet operation. More significantly from a user perspective, it offers nine goal-oriented programs. You can choose one of three different goals (time, distance, and calories) and one of three terrains (manual, reverse train, and hills). The crisp LCD screen, meanwhile, offers key workout feedback, helping you develop an effective training regimen.


Horizon employs a heavy-duty flywheel that provides continuous velocity, so as your feet move the pedals, the flywheel’s momentum carries you through the complete motion. As a result, the trainer feels very natural and not at all choppy. Plus, the flywheel is extremely quiet, making the trainer ideal for home use. The Horizon Fitness EX-57 elliptical trainer also applies a magnetic brake to the flywheel, creating more consistent resistance during a workout. And the instep-stacked flywheel design–where the flywheel sits above the pedals rather than in line with them–delivers a lower step-on height for easy access, along with a stride length that’s longer, more natural, and more versatile regardless of the user, workout type, and fitness level. As an added benefit, the unit is smaller and shorter than other ellipticals, so it fits in almost any room, including low-ceiling basements.

Horizon’s Ergoflow elliptical geometry is built around your body, not the machine’s components. The distance between the pedals have also been narrowed to create a more natural walking motion, and the pivoting footpad imitates how your foot’s position changes as you move forward. And a more natural, ergonomic movement means less stress on your knees, hips, and lowers back, so you enjoy longer workouts and faster results.
