HealthRider H95e Rear Drive

Introducing the HealthRider H95e Rear Drive elliptical—this iFit Live compatible workout wonder allows you to opt for wellness, performance, or weight-loss goals as you listen to audio coaching from Jillian Michaels. With your wireless network, every workout downloads daily to your HealthRider console. Alternatively, with the iFit Live module, you can choose the Google Maps option, and "walk" the terrain based on the route you select. The selected route includes the resistance representative of the terrain of that route, eliminating the tedium normally associated with working out with an elliptical.

In addition, the H95e also monitors your heart rate with sensors built into the handlebars. You can also change the incline angle to modify your stride and which muscle groups you want to focus on; gluts, calves, or quads. These controls, and all others, are located on the handlebars for easy, quick changes. IFit also provides a free mobile app that tracks your workouts, your nutrition, and other activities in your fitness agenda. In addition, if you want some tunes to tune up with, just plug in your personal MP3 player or iPod. Placed onto the console shelf, the controls are easily within reach and you are good to go. The "Silent Magnetic Resistance" system is smooth and frictionless, allowing you to adjust the intensity of your workout without interruption.

The HealthRider H95e carries a manufactured suggested retail price of $999.00. It has a weight capacity of 325 lbs. The stride length is adjustable from 18 inches to 20 inches. The pedals are over sized, traction controlled. There is a lifetime warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Reviews have been positive. It is a heavy machine and comes in a large box that requires a pickup truck or SUV to transport, but the instructions for assembly and operation are easy to follow. The only negative report was that the fan blows towards your torso instead of your face.
