ProGear 360 Dual Action Stride Air Walker LS Elliptical Review

Two of the biggest barriers to exercise and keeping fit are cost and time.  Fortunately there are plenty of options at well under $200 that can provide a great workout and not break the bank.  In this review we look at one of the best selling machines, the ProGear 360 Dual Action Stride Elliptical.

This is a compact and easy to use machine that can really put you through your paces, with out delivering a high impact.  The beauty of the ProGear 360 is that due to its design it glides your legs smoothly and prevents potentially damaging joint impact.

We review the ProGear 360 Action Strider in detail.

Ride Position

As you can see from the image above, one of our favourite features of this elliptical is that rather than being limited to a back and forth motion this elliptical offers the ability to extend the legs to the side.  This really steps up the quality and variance of the workouts.  It also means that you can target more muscles in your legs and provide a great varied workout.  Also if you have limited flexibility, or are recovering from injury this is perfect to let you stretch and workout with more variety.

Comfort

We found that despite its fairly small frame the ProGear 360 feels robust and comfortable to use.  The movement runs smoothly and efficiently.  We really like the overall feel of the elliptical.

Drive

 

ProGear keep this price of this impressive machine low by keeping moving parts to a minimum.  The drive of this machine in the user, you provide the power and keep everything moving.  This makes the ProGear 360 very easy to live with, low maintenance and very reliable, with nothing that can break down or not start up.

Assembly

There is some home assembly required.  But its little more than attaching the console.  A few minutes work to get the Elliptical from the box and you are all set!

Console

At this price ProGear have included a good number of features, including a simple console allowing you to track your workout progress.  All the usual stats are available:

The heart rate feature is great allowing you to stay within your training heart rate zone.

Resistance is controlled via a dial on the frame, allowing you to select 8 levels of resistance.

Transportation

This elliptical is easy to move with the built-in wheels
