Description

Ideal for the home gym for fitness enthusiasts of any skill level, the Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer provides an effective cardiovascular workout by combining upper and lower body flexibility and coordination into one impact-free motion. Elliptical trainers emulate the natural motion of your foot while supporting your heel throughout the stride, making them much easier on your knees and joints. In addition to feeling more natural while working out, regular use on elliptical trainers will increase heart and lung capacity while improving your health (and burning calories at the same time).

The Schwinn 430 offers eight computer-controlled resistance levels and eight workout programs for workout variety, including six user-profile programs, one manual, and one calorie goal program. Its quick start functions allows you to easily change your resistance level while exercising to challenge yourself to the next level. Three feedback programs–recovery mode, results mode, and body mass index (BMI)–allow you to track the progress of your workout routine. BioGlide motion technology offers a natural-feeling 18-inch stride while the trainer’s BioFit design will provide a comfortable feel on the footpads and handlebars. The handlebars also feature grip heart rate monitoring which allows you to track your heart rate while you’re exercising.

Additional features of the Schwinn 430 elliptical trainer include Eddy current brake resistance for smooth and quiet stopping, transport wheels to easily move the trainer across the room, and a water bottle holder to keep your hydration source close by. This elliptical trainer has a compact footprint 59 inches long by 26 inches wide by 68 inches tall.

Customer Reviews:

We love, love, love it. It works so well and my husband is a big guy, and he uses it with no problems. The only thing is that we wish that the panel lit up so you could see it in dim light or when using it at night. otherwise, we recommend this to everyone! It is a top of the line product with a much lower price and not such a strain on the wallet!!!

I bought this on Amazon about a year ago. It was easy to set up (about 2 hours), all the parts were there and the directions were accurate. I used to use it about three times a week but lately I’ve been using it almost every day. It has held up very well, it’s quiet, a great workout, and my feet are always in a comfortable position (some home elliptical put your feet at awkward angles). On the bad side the heart rate monitor is slow to get a reading and a slightly longer stride length would be nice, but these are minor gripes. It is an excellent piece of equipment and well worth the money.

So of course I was concerned before I got this, that I would be getting what I paid for. Something that squeaked loudly all the time, or was impossible to put together. Not true for me. I’ve had it a month, and it is real quiet and smooth. Putting it together took at least 3 hours, but I also did it myself, and took my time. I’m male, and can put stuff together, but i’m no handyman. Still, I handled this on my own, and the instructions are real simple. As for the workout, it’s pretty tough. Even level one is a tough workout for a half hour, and I have yet to push it up over level 3. It’s just what i need, a machine that can fit in the corner of the room, give me a sweat, and keep me in shape. I recommend this machine for sure. Hopefully, it doesn’t fall apart. I’ve had to re-tighten the screws once, but that could have been my fault on assembly. My girlfriend loves it, she is 5 foot 3, and the stride is fine for her. I’m 6 feet, and the stride is perfect as well. Glad I didn’t spend 1500 for some fancy machine.

package came in good condition.Couldn’t believe how quickly we received item after making order.Enclosed assembly instructions were very clear to follow.We had the item assembled in less then two hours.We tried out and operates very quietly.Seems very well built.Thanks

the purchase was super easy and delivery came extremely fast. Was able to put the elliptical together in about 1-2hrs and we have loved it ever since. Great product at a great price, definitely worth the money
