I read an artice online where the guy used a math equation to figure this out. His outcome was 1 mile equals about 1,008 revolutions.

UPDATE:

In his example, yes. That example used a formula for finding the circumference of his elliptical "wheel" - C=d(PI) (PI calculated only to 3.14159265, but that's good enough for this exercise)

The diameter of his "wheel" was 20", therefore C = 20(3.14159265) or 62.831853"

Converted to feet - 62.831853/12 = 5.236'

So, then it's simple math to figure out how many revolutions per mile - in this case 1008

(5280/5.236)

So *IF* your elliptical's wheel is 20", then yes, approximately 1008 revolutions. But following this logic, you can figure it out for your own elliptical quite easily.
