Many people when considering buying an elliptical trainer wonder whether they should buy a treadmill instead. The treadmill vs elliptical debate continues. More treadmills are purchased each year, however the elliptical trainer market is faster growing (as of the time this review was written in May 2010).

The reason I like ellipticals is it offers a low impact workout option that varies my running routine. I run a decent amount, but when looking at my workout regimen, my focus is cross training. I love variety. I’m a jack of all exercises and ace of none. That said, if you are a runner and that is all you’re interested in doing because it’s your passion, you may consider getting a treadmill rather than elliptical. If you are looking for a treadmill, just like buying an elliptical, you should check out some treadmill reviews first.

One of the best ways to research an elliptical and treadmill purchase is to go and try using the equipment at a fitness gym. Even if you aren’t a member, you can usually sign up for a week for free or at a discounted rate to try the place out. During that trial week, use all the fitness equipment and see what you like doing and what features you like. Really analyze the equipment carefully – the programs, the style, the computer, the design … check it out carefully so you know what you like and what you don’t like.

The fact is you want to have your elliptical trainer in your home for a long time. This means it’s important you make a good buying decision.
