ConnectFit carries a lot of good elliptical brands. And there's things we like about a lot of different units, in terms of value, or by a mechanics, or durability. And there's certainly different generations of non-impact machines.
But Octane fitness was the first company that was all about elliptical machines from the beginning. They were literally founded on the idea of creating a better elliptical machine.
So instead of having research and development being diluted into treadmills and bikes and rowing machines and other things, for the first decade of octane's existence all they worked on was elliptical machine. So they developed their machines faster, and put all their brain power into them.
One remarkable aspect of Octane is their wide range of elliptical machines. Not only do they offer standing ellipticals, but they also revolutionized the industry by introducing seated ellipticals with exceptional biomechanics. Additionally, they have a unique lateral elliptical, the Lateral X, that allows for adjustable lateral motion, while still providing the benefits of an elliptical workout. This innovative equipment not only provides one of the best workouts in the industry, engaging the lateral muscles, but it also caters to individuals of different sizes.
Their top of the Line XT-One commercial unit adjusts for both stride length and incline, and the inline is built so that the sheer angle on the knee is reduced as inline is increased, removing the extra stress created by most inclining ellipticals.

In terms of the elliptical machines themselves, they have a lot of features that make them unique. They have the MOM mode which can set the resistance at the top level so kids can't climb on and use it. They have both programs and workout boosters, which can be used together. So you can actually choose to use an interval workout while at the same time using the X-mode or an arm blaster mode. And these things work with each other, you don't have to choose one of the other, which multiplies your options.
In addition, the 47 series of Octane fitness machines offer an incredible feature - an almost silent adjustable stride length that can be adjusted by half an inch. What sets this unit apart is its unique smart stride feature, which mimics the natural motion of running or walking. As you increase your speed, the stride lengthens, and as you slow down, it shortens. This realistic motion is further enhanced by the machine automatically reducing the stride by 4 inches when moving backward, as our knees are not designed to bend that way. The best part is that you can combine this innovative smart stride feature with a traditional program and a workout booster, allowing all these elements to seamlessly work together for an optimized workout experience.
Another interesting thing is that Octane really focused so heavily on the elliptical machine that they wanted it to do everything for you, even strength, so they also had the cross circuit programs which literally use resistance bands as well as different motions to get more of a strength focused workout in your elliptical time.
That's one of the reasons that octane became the darling of so many of the gym chains, they had more elliptical modalities and their ellipticals did a lot more than anybody else's did without being confusing.
So when you're looking at the different brands and types of machines, you might want to take a look at the Octane brand. They might be the best pure elliptical brand.
