OVERVIEW

 The Sole Fitness E35 Elliptical Trainer is a front-drive elliptical trainer that uses a “whisper quiet drive system”.  You can pedal forwards and backwards and it offers a power incline feature for greater workout variation.  The incline ramp ranges from fifteen to forty degrees.  Of course, using the handles, you get an upper body workout as well.

Features
Stride Length Fixed Stride Length: 20″.
Drive The Sole E35 Elliptical is a front-drive elliptical trainer.
Incline Yes, with this elliptical trainer you can range your incline workouts from 15 to 40 degrees incline.  This large range lets you target specific lower body muscles during or over a course of workouts.
Moveable Handles The Sole E35 has 2 sets of handlebars.  One set moves giving you an upper body workout.  The other set is stationary.  The result: you can choose whether you do a total body workout or only a lower body workout.
Foot Pedals
  • Enjoy a comfortable stance and gait with oversized foot pedals.  The Sole E35 Elliptical physical therapist-designed foot pedals have a two degree inward slope reducing knee and ankle stress.
  • Additionally, you can adjust the foot pedals for enhanced comfort.
Resistance Levels
  • With 20 resistance levels you can vary each workout or build up your endurance and performance over time.  Resistance is the key to the total body workout with an elliptical trainer.
  • The resistance system used on the Sole E35 is the Eddy Current Braking system.
  • What is an Eddy Current Brake?  It slows or creates resistance with electromagnetic induction.  Click here to read more about Eddy Current Braking.
Heart Rate Monitor System There are two ways to monitor your heart rate on the E35:

  • By placing your hands on the fixed handlegrips; and
  • Going hands-free with the heart rate chest strap included with the E35.

The chest rate strap is a nice feature because monitoring your heart rate hands-free lets you focus on your workout, adjust your MP3 player, and/or turn the pages on your magazine.
Screen Backlt blue LCD (liquid crystal display) screen 8 x 20 in size uses a large font so you can quickly and easily read the display figures.
iFit Technology No.
Audio System Yes, you can listen to your music on the E35 sound system.
Workout Fan The built-in fan will help you stay cool while working out.
Console Features Water bottle holders within easy reach so you stay hydrated while working out.
Weight Capacity 375 pounds. A 375 pound weight capacity is a pretty high weight capacity for an elliptical trainer.  One consistent feature, which tells you about the quality of Sole ellipticals and treadmills, is the high maximum user weight specifications.
Workout Programs Workout programs: 6 standard workouts, and 1 user-defined workout program.
Dimensions
  • Footprint: 82″ X 27″ ;
  • Weighs: 200 pounds.

Sole E35 Benefits
  • Hands-free heart rate monitoring with the chest strap heart rate monitor.
  • Workout options: workout your total body or only lower body – your choice.
  • Comfortable oversized, adjustable foot pedals designed by a physical therapist.
  • Numerous resistance levels for low medium, or high intensity – again, your choice.
  • Work out in the comfort of your own home when it suits your schedule.  Unlike a gym membership, you don’t have to get off your own elliptical at any specified time.  Ellipticals often are all signed-out at peak times in gyms – and having a 20 or 30 maximum time-use is not conducive to training the way you want to train.
  • Low impact total body workouts.

Complaints
  • No adjustable stride.
  • Maximum stride is only 20″.

Warranty
  • Frame:  lifetime.
  • Parts and electronics:  Five years.
