There are many choices out there today when it comes to choosing the proper elliptical trainer for your particular needs. One of the most popular and dominant names in elliptical trainers is that of Horizon fitness. In this low review of Horizon Fitness elliptical trainers you’ll hear a little bit about the E401. This particular model features an 18 inch stride and gives you pivoting foot pads that allow for natural movement. Like many the other models offered by the company this unit features a narrow pedal spacing which is to allow for a more natural gait.

You’ll find that this unit features a 14 pound flywheel which offers you a more fluid movement and thanks to the magnetic resistance braking system that movement will be nothing less than smooth, quiet and very consistent. Furthermore, you’ll have up to 10 different motorized resistance levels to choose from so that you can increase the intensity of any one of your workout programs.

With regards to user programs to choose from, the Horizon Fitness E401 features programs such as manual, intervals, weight loss, cardio challenge, mountain as well as endurance challenge. All this information can be read straight through the user console which features an LED display. You’ll receive readouts of information such as distance as well as the course you are on and much, much more.

You’ll get a total of 15 years worth the warranty on the incline motor included with this elliptical trainer. There’s also a one-year warranty on both the parts as well as labor and a lifetime warranty on the frame itself. You also have the option of 10 different resistance levels which can be used on the six different workout programs. Keep in mind though that this particular model is only design with the maximum weight capacity not to exceed 275 pounds.

All in all this is an excellent choice when it comes to selecting an elliptical trainer. The Horizon Fitness E401 is more of an entry-level model which is why the number of features are fairly limited but also why the price is fairly reasonable. When it comes to selecting the right trainer for your needs it is important that you weigh these two very carefully as you do not want to give up many features in order to save as much money as possible.

When it is all said and done though, this particular piece of exercise equipment makes an excellent choice for just about anyone who is looking to maintain their current fitness levels or even in to lose some of access weight that they cannot seem to get rid of. Furthermore, thanks to the fact that this particular model is very comfortable and easy to use you’ll help to make staying committed to any particular exercise routine and easier process for just about anyone.
