About Ellipticals products
Elliptical machines and cross trainers support home workouts and commercial gym programmes in New Zealand. ArchiPro lists models such as Cross Personal | Elliptical and Excite Live Vario | Elliptical by Technogym.
Types of ellipticals
There are a number of different types of ellipticals on the market in New Zealand that you can consider for your home gym or business. Elliptical construction varies by drive position, affecting the pedal path and the space the machine occupies.
Standing cross trainers
These are the most common form available in New Zealand. They allow the user to stand upright on the pedals when using the machine.
Recumbent ellipticals
A cross trainer with seat, also called a recumbent elliptical, lets the user exercise in a seated position.
Front drive ellipticals
These standing cross trainers give a full-body workout. The smooth gliding action, online routines, programs and outdoor rides will keep your activities fun and stimulating while exercising.
Rear drive ellipticals
Rear drive cross trainers give a smoother drive and often have a longer stride length. These units have a flatter trajectory and provide a lower-intensity workout.
Folding ellipticals
Most often, these are front-drive units designed for tiny homes or apartments. They will break in the middle and fold back to allow easy storage.
The advantages of high-quality ellipticals
There are many advantages to choosing high-quality ellipticals, something one should always prioritise when starting out. High-quality machines have a superior build quality that provides a smooth action to enhance your workout. Many also have additional features like sensors that react when you are close, so they are always ready for use. They often also have many different exercise routines programmed in from beginner programmes to outdoor-level rides, so your exercise routines will always be fresh. They also come from experienced professionals who will provide you with great support through all stages of the purchase and beyond so that you get the most out of your machine.
How to choose an elliptical that’s right for you
There are a number of things to consider when choosing an elliptical for your home gym. The first is the type of elliptical and deciding what is best suited for your needs and desired outcomes. For instance, front-drive units give the feeling of riding uphill and are excellent for the hips and thighs, while rear-drive machines have a flatter trajectory and are suitable for those looking for a lower-intensity workout. You should also look at the different features they have like the different types of programmes they have and the levels of resistance they offer. Things like bottle holders and media holders are also a nice bonus.
