Inspire Fitness Cardio Strider CS3.1 | Perfect for Recovery Training

by

The Inspire Fitness Cardio Strider CS3.1 is one of the best recumbent elliptical/strider machines in this price range. Recumbent ellipticals are ideal for those with disabilities or mobility problems, as it is easier to climb into than upright ellipticals. Additionally, CS3.1 is a favorite for rehab or physical therapy.

The CS3.1 is a medium-duty machine that handles user weights up to 300 pounds. Furthermore, the CS3.1 provides an effective cardiovascular workout by combining upper and lower body flexibility and coordination into one impact-free motion and is easier on your joints. Regular use of elliptical trainers will increase heart and lung capacity while improving your health and burning calories.

This recumbent elliptical uses 40 levels of magnetic brake resistance using an eddy current brake. The magnetic resistance has the advantage of no friction, reliability, little to no maintenance costs, and quiet operation. Additionally, the Silent Poly V Belt Drive System provides smooth operation.

Key specs include a back pad that has 3 Reclining Positions, a stride length ranging from 12″ to 15″, and a weighted flywheel that provides for smoother strides. It also has static & moving handlebars for a full cross-training workout and a handle flip to switch between a CHEST/BACK workout and a BICEPS/TRICEPS workout.

Body-Solid Endurance E300 Elliptical Trainer | Center-Drive Design

by

The Body-Solid Endurance E300 Elliptical Trainer has commercial-grade parts and frames. In addition, this mid-priced elliptical comes with unparalleled durability that you can’t find on many other machines in this price range. The Body-Solid E300 has a high-grade, durable, balanced steel frame and heavy-duty parts that will last a generation.

However, it lacks some valuable functionalities, fancy frills, and thrills such as incline, large LCD, and Bluetooth connection of other brands such as Life Fitness, Precor, and Sole. Although considering the price and the compact size, it’s understandable. But on the other hand, it offers quite a unique center-drive design, which provides a very natural riding feel.

The Endurance E300 has 20 resistance levels, 21 inches fixed stride, oversized comfortable pedals, and static and moving handlebars to provide a full-body workout. However, what sets Body-Solid E300 apart is the quality vs. the price.

I don’t think there is another machine with the features and durability of Endurance E300 in the same price range. Although Body-Solid E300 is not for everyone, and that’s why I suggest you read the paragraphs below to see if this compact elliptical suits your needs.
