Considering a New Balance elliptical trainer and want to know
if they're a good value for you? This article will give you the
lowdown on the New Balance brand of elliptical trainers.
New Balance elliptical trainers are the new kids on the block.
New Balance is probably better known for their fantastic running
shoes than their ellipticals. New Balance partnered with Fitness
Quest in 2003 to start making fitness equipment like bikes,
treadmills and elliptical trainers.
Although Fitness Quest doesn't have the best reputation in the
fitness equipment business (they also produce the Total Gym, Ab
Lounge and Tony Little products), their elliptical trainers
might still be worth a look.
New Balance produces several economy to mid-priced elliptical
trainers ranging from $949 to $1399. So the competition is
pretty fierce as they're going up against heavyweights like Sole
and Schwinn. How do they stack up? Here are the strengths and
weakness of New Balance Elliptical Trainers.
Strengths:
Upper Body Arms - All New Balance machines offer upper body
arms bars, which is a feature most buyers want. Upper body arm
bars allow you to tone and work your upper body resulting in
more calories burned in less time.
Oversized Foot Pedals - The New Balance oversized foot
platforms have a built-in skid resistant surface so you can find
the most comfortable foot position within the elliptical motion.
The extra large platforms support your body weight more evenly
and provide added stability.
Magnetic Resistance - This is the best form of resistance (and
the standard form among most elliptical trainers these days).
Starting at 8 levels of resistance and working up to 16, these
ellipticals offer a chance to challenge your body and burn even
more calories.
Warranty - New Balance Ellipticals are covered by a standard
warranty: 10 years on the frame, 2 years electronics and 1 year
on parts. This is a decent warranty - better than some brands,
not as good as others.
15" - 18" Stride Length - The cheaper New Balance crosstrainers
(the 5.5 and the 8.0) only offer 15" stride lengths which is
fairly small and will result in a less effective workout. If
you're taller or really want to pick up your pace on your
elliptical, this stride length may not be the most comfortable
for you.
On the other hand the higher end New Balance machines (the 9.0
and the 9.5) offer 18" stride lengths which aren't bad at all
and will help you get an overall more efficient workout.
Weaknesses:
The New Balance brand is fairly new to the market, so they may
not have had the time to work out the kinks in their product
line yet.
Also, there are several similarly priced brands that give you a
bit more for your money like longer warranties, higher user
weight capacities and/or more workout programs.
Summary:
New Balance elliptical trainers do offer some promising
features including a decent warranty, several resistance levels,
oversized foot pedals and attractive, advanced consoles.
I would recommend the higher end models (the 9.0 and the 9.5)
before the economy models because the stride length is longer
and you just get more for your money.
The real downside is that New Balance ellipticals are in an
already overcrowded market with other more proven brands.
Competition is fierce and there are several similarly priced
models that offer more in terms of warranties, workout programs,
stride lengths and user weight capacities.
Given some time however, New Balance ellipticals may become a
force to be reckoned with.
