Bringing the gym experience into your home makes it easier to exercise. Many people opt for treadmills, but the pounding can be hard on your joints. Ellipticals mimic the motion of running but without the impact. That’s especially beneficial if you have bad knees or are rehabbing from a lower-body injury. The moving handgrips and adjustable resistance allow you to create a more intense, full-body workout.

High-end ellipticals cost upwards of $2,000 but you can get a good machine for less than half that price. More expensive machines are often heavier and have a larger footprint, due to their beefier frames. The number of features also tends to increase with the price of the machine. Use this guide to learn about the different types and many features out there–and to simplify your choice.

Choose the Model That's Right for You
Good exercise equipment can be expensive but cost isn't the only thing to consider before buying. Here’s a checklist:

Try Before You Buy
Whether you want to shop online for the best price or purchase a machine from the store, we recommend you try it out in person. You might notice a problem with the ergonomics that you can't detect by sight or user reviews alone—maybe your knees keep bumping against the elliptical's framework or the machine just doesn't move to your liking.

Size
On average, ellipticals are about 6 feet long by 2.5 feet wide but can range in length from 50 to 84 inches. Keep in mind that during operation, the pedals may extend out beyond the length of the machine. You'll also be more elevated than you would on a treadmill, so make sure you have a space with a sufficiently high ceiling. We’ve measured step-up heights between 5 to 15 inches with pedals reaching up to 25 inches above the floor at the apex of the elliptical cycle. You'll also need a minimum of 20 inches of free space on at least one side and either the front or back for safety. see More on https://www.ellipticalaudit.com/
