Best Ellipticals of 2016
The elliptical is an incredible cardio machine for anyone, but especially for those who think the treadmill is a little too boring or for those who need a great way to cross-train without running. No matter what your reason for adding one to your home gym, you’ll find Push Pedal Pull has wide variety of options. Here are our favorites for 2016.
Our #1 Choice: Precor AMT
The Precor AMT line of ellipticals actually falls into the adaptive motion category of equipment. AMT machines feature what is known as the open stride, which gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to personalizing the elliptical to your unique stride. As a matter of fact, no adjustment is needed on your part. The AMT will respond to your natural motion and help you to adjust your stride length as you work through your cardio workout. You still receive the upper and lower body workout features you would find with any other elliptical, but you’ll also find the AMT models feature foot pedals designed to optimize muscle involvement, a safe step-on platform, preset programs, electronic readouts, and heart rate monitoring.
Precor EFX 225
Our favorite feature of the Precor EFX 225 is the adjusting ramp, which offers a lot when it comes to workout variety. This particular model also features 10 preset workouts, a SmartRate target heart zone monitor, and 16 different resistance levels. You can have up to 2 separate user IDs and the options key allows you to set your workout duration, age, weight, and workout type. This is definitely a high-quality elliptical that will make you feel as though you have a commercial-grade piece of equipment in your home.
Spirit XE195
The Spirit XE195 is a great budget-friendly, entry-level 
elliptical. It is just as dependable as other Spirit models, but it’s slightly more limited in terms of programs and special features. You’ll still receive a smooth, quiet ride, important workout data and feedback, and a series of challenging programs.
Your home gym, and your workout routine, can definitely benefit from the addition of an elliptical. Don’t be afraid to stop by any Push Pedal Pull store to try a few out. Once you have a feel for how the elliptical works, you’ll never want to look back!
