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.

I am really suprised they deleted my review of 1 star on this item. I did try to raise it to 3 stars considering the the good technology they had put in this machine. In fairness to others that would like to hear from others that didn’t rate it that high. I would like to republish my experience again. It was a good machine but the difficulty I had was the the stride length that does not seem to go as far as the available 26″ available due to the need to make the extra effort to push it to it’s limits. As you would notice an immediate relief just stepping off it and in to a schwinn 430 of 18″ stride length only. As I was comparing them next to each other. I actually returned the 430 earlier due to it’s stride length feeling short for me. Hoping the available 26″ stride in the 460 would feel better. Suprisingly the 430 felt longer since the 18″ stride is avalable end to end of the 18″ unlike the variable stride length that makes it shorter at times because it is not fixed. Trying to keep it to under a $1000 on my purchase but the only resolution I got was when I went upto the sole E35 2009 model which is worth the extra $300.

I got this machine online and it came up with no power supply. I’ve tried to call customer support many times and they are either closed or they never pick up the line. I was put on hold for over 1 hour and that is because my cell battery died.
I don’t even have the info to return this machine. I wish I had bought it at a store so I could get customer service. Beware, their customer service is indicative of how much they care about their reputation.

Unit was easy to assemble,fourth day of use the screen locked up and displayed an E-2 code. Spoke with Nautilus, they said the cable from the screen to the base was defective, sent a new one, had to disassemble the mast to install it. Second week of use: when I pluged the unit into an outlet the machine starts making a loud clunking noise in the base. This issue has not been resolved yet. The base is pre-assembled so it’s not an owner assembly problem.

I really wanted to like this machine, but it just wasn’t to be. The variable stride is a bit awkward and it is hard to dial in the resistance adequately. After about 5 sessions the left foot platform began to squeak. Just not worth the money.

I am very satisfied with this elliptical. I had done a lot of research before buying and I am happy that I made the right purchase. On the begining is a little difficult to get used to the variable stride, but as soon as you get the rithm, it works fine. I think it is a little more difficult than regular/gym ellipticals. The heart rate monitor didn’t work very well with the stripe that came with the elliptical, but I use my Polar stripe and it works with the shwinn machine very accurately!
I would recommend the Sole elliptical for those looking for one!
