Ironman Elliptical

This calorie-crunching, cardiovascular training, elliptical creating company creates affordable products for the family home and gyms around the country. Although hitting a snag in early 2008, filing for bankruptcy, the products are still quality.
If you are worried about maintenance and love to feel secure with your product then maybe the IronMan Elliptical is slightly too off the track for you.


Some Specifications

Some of IronMan’s newer products have a new feature of having the motor wheels to the left and right of the pedals, therefore reducing length of the elliptical and allowing the user to have a straighter, more natural back.

Another cool feature of the newer ellipticals is the longer stride lengths of up to 24 inches. This means you will have a wider walk which is good for tall people, as it gives your legs a wider distance and stretches the muscles more. If you are shorter than 5 foot 5 then the longer strides might just rip your trousers.

Cost Points

The prices these cross trainers come at is from around $300 up to $2000, the cheaper brands obviously will not include a lot of the high tech displays and pressure systems, but if you are just looking for a simple exercise machine then it could be just what you are looking for.
