Elliptical Trainer New Balance

On a list of consumer top choices the New Balance ellipticals came fifth, ahead of models from Icon and Keys. There are three models to choose from, New Balance 8.0, 9.0 and 9.5. The design of the 9.0 and 9.5 are more appealing to most consumers as they are easy to use and have nice ergonomics. Originally the company that makes New Balance made clothing and shoes but they branched out, licensing their elliptical machines via Fitness Quest in Taiwan. In a very short period of time ellipticals have become very popular and apart from companies like Precor and Life most companies are new to them and therefore looking at their history to see their track record is hard.

Price range of the New Balance is $700 to $1200 and they can be found at various stores like Fogdog, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sports Authority. There are online retailers also. Reading reviews there are positive responses about the console designs and program choices however being as new as they are, getting a long term feel for them is impossible at this point. In order to know whether a New Balance is for you try it out and read consumer comments and reviews.

The 9.5 is the top of the line for New Balance and ratings emphasis its ergonomics, exercise range and ease of use. Its quality was rated as good, making it an average trainer. The frame of this model is the same as the 9.0 and the flywheel is at the front. It has an 18″ stride, longer than previous models, giving it a better motion. On the 9.0 there are eight levels of resistance and this goes up to twelve for the 9.5. Building up muscles and increased cardio workouts takes resistance levels so that is important.

Look closely at what New Balance are offering in their models and once you read the reviews and see how other people have benefited from them, you may find your choice becomes clearer. With a New Balance you get some features you would class as essential in an elliptical along with quality design. It is also easy to use and affordable.
