If you are looking for the absolute smoothest and most fluid fitness machine on the market today, you’d be wise to check out the Matrix E5xc Front Drive Elliptical Crosstrainer. The E5xc features the patented Air-Cell cushioned foot pedal system, which some users have likened to “walking on air.” Weighing 281 pounds—and able to accommodate users up to 400 pounds in weight—the Crosstrainer is very durable and virtually maintenance-free, thanks largely to its all-steel welded frame. Its small footprint (72" L by 29" W by 71" H) means it will take up very little room in your home or commercial gym. And its welded front wheels make it easy to move the machine from one room or spot to the next.

The movable handlebars on the Matrix E5xc Front Drive Elliptical Crosstrainer provide resistance both forward and backwards, delivering an upper body and arm workout for those who so choose. The hand grips of the handlebars are equipped with intelligent sensors that measure the user’s heart rate through contact-based technology, sending feedback to the colorful and vivid LED screen. The machine is known for delivering one of the lowest impact workouts in the industry—a workout that is easy on the muscles, joints and connective tissue of the lower body.

The Matrix E5xc Front Drive Elliptical Crosstrainer comes standard with 8 pre-programmed and expertly designed workout options from which users can choose. These include a Manual mode, for those who want to create their own customized workout; an aerobic-style fat-burning workout; a fitness test, with data that can be saved so that users can measure their fitness progress from one workout to the next; a target heart rate protocol; a random setting; and two different interval style workouts, with graduated levels of speed and resistance. All of the workout data can be measured on the large LED display panel—data that includes calories burned, distance traveled, altitude climbed, speed, resistance, watts, METs, elapsed time and more.
