Healthrider ellipticals are good, high-quality ellipticals that don’t cost a lot but can add a lot of value to someone looking for a good machine for everyday exercise. However, you’ll want to make sure you get the model that best suits your needs, wants, and (perhaps most importantly) budget. Fortunately, with the different models provided by ICON (which is the company that produces Healthrider fitness equipment), you should be able to find one that works perfectly for you.
The least expensive model provided by ICON in its Healthrider segment is the Healthrider H70e elliptical machine. This machine is a good, albeit basic, exercise machine that will work for most casual users. You get 8 different training programs, a heart monitor, and all the basics you need with a good elliptical treadmill. Of course, for less than $500, you shouldn’t expect to have all the whistles and bells of a more expensive machine, nor should you expect this one to withstand an intense workout every day. It’s better for casual use, so if that’s all you need, you should consider the H70e over other discount brands.
The most popular and most expensive model made by ICON is the Healthrider H140e elliptical trainer. This trainer really is a great machine, and if you can afford it, this is the one most health professionals would recommend. It comes with 15 different personal training programs and an excellent sliding system along with a very durable and quality construction that will withstand rigorous exercise.
