EcoFit E-8729HA

The EcoFit elliptical trainer for home use is a solution at the junction of the entry-level and mid-price segments. The model has a magnetic system with 8 available load levels, which are set manually (by rotating the lever on the stand). The flywheel is located at the back and has a relatively small weight of 8 kg, which has a positive effect on the weight of the elliptical trainer (only 48 kg), but can reduce the smoothness of the pedals.

The EcoFit E-8729HA elliptical trainer is notable for its seat, which essentially turns it into an exercise bike and allows you to pedal while sitting (this may be relevant, including for people with a low level of basic physical fitness or as part of rehabilitation after injuries). The model provides standard controls with a display on which you can track all the basic training indicators, as well as approximate calorie consumption and heart rate (there are heart rate sensors on the fixed handles near the screen).

The elliptical trainer is suitable for users of different weights, up to 120 kg, but in general it will be more convenient for not very tall people, because it has a modest step length of 360 mm. It should also be taken into account that the distance between the pedals (Q-factor) is quite large here - 21 cm. This value increases the load on the legs and is not recommended for users with joint diseases.
