ProForm 850 SpaceSaver Elliptical
If you are looking for an elliptical trainer that has robust features, yet gentle on your budget, you should take a look at the ProForm 850 Elliptical Machine.
What many don’t realize is that ProForm is having a summer blowout sale and you’ll be able to find this elliptical at an unbelievably low price.
Priced lower than standard budget ellipticals, the ProForm 850 starts off with being a spacesaver, so when you are finished with your workout you can fold it up and tuck it away. However, when opened, this space saver only take up 61″ L x 27″ W x 61″ H. Which in length is smaller than many ellipticals but has kept a nice generous width for added stability. 
One of my favorite features of this elliptical is that the stride length is a full 18″ so that even taller or long legged users won’t feel cramped and will be able to use a natural stride. This is important if you are going to enjoy your workout and want to really work your lower body.
Do you need motivation to push your workouts?
If so you may be interested in a special game feature. In addition to 8 workout programs, the ProForm 850 SpaceSaver Elliptical has 2 motivational games that you can play.
The elliptical arms of the 850 have built in game controlers so as you workout you can play either a fat blocker or calorie destroyer game. The harder you workout the easier the games are to play.
This is incentive to keep at a higher pace and try to beat your last score. Yes, it even keeps track of the 4 highest game score and you can compete against your best score or one of another family member. This is perfect if two family members have a friendly competetiton . You can work harder saying that you want to get the highest score, meanwhile your really burning off that donut that you had after breakfast. Tricky don’t you think!
If you find yourself wanting to workout longer or harder you should know that the ProForm 850 also has a workout fan which has 2 speeds, so you can regulate it as you wish.

Welso home fitness equipment is one of these companies that keep chugging along with fitness equipment that is geared for the average user.
When people often look to purchase a treadmill or elliptical they compare models and usually go for the model which has the most bells and whistles, not realizing that they will never need most of what they are paying for.
For example: you can purchase the Weslo Momentun 220 X Elliptical trainer for $299 (with free shipping – price may change depending on when you read this post.) . This elliptical has everything that the average elliptical user would need:
Four certified personal trainer workouts.
Dual grip heart monitor built into the handle bars.
Digital resistance so that you can easily change your resistance level to make your workout a cardio workout or a toning workout.
A very easy to read LCD display.
Full 18″ stride with oversized pedals.
Now ask yourself, do you really need more than this? If you have been using an elliptical for years you may want additional personal trainer programs or adjustable stride lengths but for the newer user all the additional features will probably not be used but can tack on an additional $500 – $900 to your price tag.
Now unless you are an experienced user or have the additional money to spend more, your best bet would be to get the basics of what you need now. Then as you use your elliptical or treadmill you may find that you have exactly what you need and that additional features costing hundreds more would have just made you bank account smaller.
Take a look at the Weslo line of treadmills, ellipticals inversion flex systems and recumbent bikes. Welso even has a manual treadmill for ony $99 for those with smaller budgets.
With Weslo your purchasing direct from the manufacturer so you cut out the middleman.
