I would like to buy a Spirit elliptical trainer any recommendations as to which one?

Question

I live in Canada I can buy either the Spirit XE 125 @ $1299 or the Spirit XE 350 @ $1599. I want a good machine that I can enjoy using and get a really good workout.

Answer 1

Both of these ellipticals are great choices, depending on your budget.

I would look at the major differences between these ellipticals.

Those being:

XE125 vs XE350

18" Stride Length vs 20" Stride Length
3 yr parts/1labor vs 5 parts/2 labor

There are other minor differences such as larger flywheel (slightly smoother movement) and more resistance levels (20 vs 16) on the XE350 -- Both are minor differences you won't really miss.

So depending on your height....If you are shorter...the 18" stride length will be plenty...if taller...maybe go for the 20"...but the best would be to try both of these ellipticals for at least 5 minutes each to see which feels better. If you can't tell....go for the cheaper model.

Hope this helps.

Any questions?
