Horizon EX57 Elliptical Trainer

The Horizon EX57 elliptical machine is one of the more versatile on the market with a personalization potential that makes it very attractive. This is an elliptical machine that is designed for everyone from professional athletes to the beginner that doesn’t compromise on quality or potential for results. For many people, this is a high ranking pick for the personal home gym because of the combined quality, the attention to personal details that makes working out easier, and the proven history of Horizon’s equipment results. Working out isn’t worthwhile if you aren’t going to see fast and far reaching results.

For around $600 the Horizon EX 57 elliptical trainer offers the same high quality, safety minded design that other Horizon ellipticals offer, like low stepping rear access for simple on and off movements, and oversized pivoting foot pedals that make the ankle motion more comfortable and natural. With a maximum 18 inch stride, the 14 pound flywheel, and the 8 variable resistance levels the Horizon EX 57 elliptical trainer is designed to keep in time with the company’s results oriented product line. With 3 goal settings and 3 variation terrain settings, you can preset your desired workout for maximum results and a strength building that doesn’t leave you with taxed muscles.

Contact heart rate monitors are standard on almost all elliptical trainers, and of course the EX 57 has the same monitors built into the handlebars. Additionally, the large screen read out makes it easy to keep track of other work out feedback factors so that you can tailor your work out to your daily needs and adjust as you become more physically fit. It offers 9 preprogrammed work out modes to help you reach the ultimate level of fitness (and stay there) within a relatively short period of time. Studies have proven that those who use elliptical trainers see results on average two weeks earlier than most other gym equipment. Studies also show that more people who use elliptical training machines stick with their exercise regimen longer than bikes, weights, or even balance balls. Elliptical trainers are designed to work the entire body for maximum results.

The Horizon EX 57 elliptical trainer offers a standard warranty on labor and parts (1 year) and offers a lifetime warranty on the frame. It also comes with a 20 year warranty on the brake which means that your elliptical is designed to last a lifetime.

When compared to other elliptical trainers, the EX 57 is lacking in rubber foot pads, a fan, and an Mp3 hook up. If you are looking to find a solid and well built cross trainer that offers you a good deal of exercise variation, the EX 57 is a good and solid choice. Most people looking to spend less than $900 on their exercise equipment are not likely to find an Mp3 hook up or many other variables that are commonly available on more expensive machines. This machine is built for the purpose of appealing to a diverse group of people who want a mid priced exercise machine that is going to last. There is nothing more frustrating than putting your work out gains on hold while the machine in question is waiting for repairs. The Horizon EX 57 elliptical trainer is built to avoid that situation.
