The 21 Epic EL 2980 is an incredibly durable elliptical which has the ability to accommodate a 350 lb user capacity. A CoolAire Workout fan incorporated in the console enables a more extensive and more comfortable workout. This machine has oversized, self-levelling articulating pedals to assure that your feet remain level. This diminishes ankle rotation.

Maximum User Capacity: 350 lbs

Warranty: 1 year parts and labour

Product Features:

This is Epic’s highest range elliptical, offering more features that any other elliptical with its maximum 350 lb user capacity as well as guiding rails much like the high-end ellipticals you would expect to see in gyms or fitness centres. In addition, this elliptical is hardwearing and constructed from steel. The resistance is magnetically distributed to the flywheel providing you with a frictionless, smooth ride. The low levels are ideal for beginners or long duration rides while the high levels provide a tough challenge for short, quick muscle strengthening workout routines. The workout programs include 20 various Personal Trainer workout programs plus 4 heart rate programs designed to maintain a perfectly paced heart rate as you gradually advance through your work out session.

About the Workout Programs

The Epic EL 2980 comes with a fantastic range of workout programs for specific fitness goals. They’re divided into aerobic, weight loss and performance each individualized toward the specific program you choose. This provides a fantastic workout variety.

The 4 heart rate programs are used with the built in heart rate sensors in each handlebar. The resistance level adapts to optimize your heart rate and keeps you in your target zone. It also increases when you need to raise your heart level and decreases when you need to lower it. Previously only athletes used this method; but it’s becoming popular in gyms and home fitness too. It is a very highly-developed technique.

Warranty Information: 1 year parts and labour warranty

Conclusion:

In our opinion, the 21 Epic EL 2890 Elliptical Trainer is a great investment for both trained professionals and beginners. The wide range of fitness programs and resistance levels can ultimately provide either a mild workout for those on a beginner’s level or a more strenuous workout for those looking to train for a particular fitness event or achieve a more advanced level of fitness. The extra features such as the built in sound system, the oversized foot pedals, and the CoolAire Workout Fan, just add an extra bit of incentive to choose this particular piece of fitness equipment. By and large, this elliptical trainer outshines many of the leading competitors and can be purchased at a sensible price.
