One of the first things to really look at before buying an elliptical trainer is the amount of space that is available. Many trainers are compact, take up little space, or can be folded up for storage. If space is an issue, then one of these smaller models should be considered. Should space be a major problem, there are many small elliptical trainers, sometimes called portable trainers, which are just compact pedestals that can be stored under a bed.
An elliptical trainer can be purchased new or used. New units will be more expensive, but might last longer than a used model. New units might also have to be assembled from parts. Used models could have significant wear on internal parts that cannot be seen, but when purchased locally are usually already assembled. In some instances, commercial grade trainers can be purchased from gyms or other locations if they are upgrading or going out of business.
There are a range of features that are available on various elliptical trainers. Some are standard such as adjustable resistance levels, while others are very uncommon like wireless internet connectivity. Some of the more useful features include heart rate monitoring, performance measuring and testing, and preprogrammed workout routines. There are entertainment options that are available on the control panels of many models as well including being able to play digital music, listen to a built in radio, and even interact with Video Games that respond to the intensity of the workout being performed. Choosing a machine that has useful features, with a minimum amount of options that might not be used, will help to keep the cost down.
There are a large number of small details that can make an elliptical trainer very comfortable or completely unusable depending on the user. One of the best things to do before buying an elliptical trainer is to find a location like a gym, fitness store, or even a mall kiosk that has some elliptical trainers on the floor. Actually standing on a trainer and possibly even using it for a few minutes will quickly reveal some of the measurements and options to look for when choosing an elliptical trainer to buy.
