Orbitrek Elite Review

Product description:

The Orbitrek Elite is an As Seen on TV exercise product that resembles a compact version of the larger elliptical cross trainer machines. One of the key advantages that the Orbitrek Elite has over its competition is that its unique design allows you to combine both cardio and resistance training into your workout. This exercise machine does more than just burn calories; it also sculpts the muscles at the same time.

Orbitrek's unique "Turn and Burn" feature is the key to increasing and decreasing the resistance levels. With the quick turn of a knob you can quickly change the level of resistance resulting in a more challenging and muscle shaping workout. However unlike some of the other exercisers out there the Orbitrek Elite allows you to adjust the resistance mid-exercise to help avoid any disruption in your workout routine.

This exerciser also is not just a lower body workout machine; instead it targets the entire body. The resistance levels alone for this exerciser can be adjusted to over 100 pounds putting you into the muscle building zone. Combine that with cross trainer style of arms and what you end up with is a complete body workout in one single session.

The Orbitrek Elite targets six major muscle groups during the workout, the individual muscle groups used are:
- Buns
- Thighs
- Arms
- Shoulders
- Back
- Chest

How is this exerciser priced?
Compared to other elliptical trainers the Orbitrek Elite is a very inexpensive machine costing around $199.95 plus and additional $39.95 shipping and handling.

What is included?
Depending on where purchased Thane Fitness offers the following with the Orbitrek Elite:
- Total Body Express DVD (duration 20 minutes)
- Total Body Sculpting & Cardio DVD (duration 30 minutes)

Customer Reviews
Most of the reviews that we have seen for the Orbitrek Elite are positive. We did come across one customer review that stated that the exerciser is noisy but for the most part this exerciser is well received machine.

The real benefits this workout machine has to offer is both its price and compact design. The compact design alone helps with those that are already limited in space. The design also makes this exerciser lighter and easier to move around if needed. Most of the higher grade elliptical trainers are pretty large machines so space may be an issue depending on what you are looking for.

However with all that being said the Orbitrek Elite is not in the same market as a higher end elliptical like the Smooth CE 2.7. The CE 2.7 comes at a much higher price tag and offers a whole range of other features like an adjustable stride length, shock-absorbing foot pedals, built-in fan and much more. The larger elliptical trainers, like the CE 2.7, are going to be more dependable and durable machines over the long haul. Nonetheless, anyone looking for a good cheap solution for what elliptical trainers have to offer would benefit from giving the Orbitrek Elite a serious look.
