Shipping Included It's the most popular new form of cardiovascular exercise in fitness facilities today. Introduced by Precor, it features a no-impact, forward or reverse elliptical stride that lets your members adjust ramp and resistance for cross training benefits. On the EFX, you stride smoothly while holding the handrails or moving your arms in natural sync, with or without hand weights. The exclusive, electronically adjustable Cross Ramp lets you change the slope of the stride with the touch of a key to vary muscle emphasis. Studies confirm that the EFX provides excellent aerobic conditioning, muscle involvement, and range of motion. Best of all, exercisers report lower rates of perceived exertion* on the EFX than on traditional machines. This means that the EFX encourages exercisers to work out harder and more productively. Features: The one and only elliptical ramp incline on the market has new cross training capabilities - Cross Ramp. With settings from 10-degree - 40-degree, your members can now get even more intense gluttial involvement, or they can continue using the range of ramp settings they already enjoy in forward or reverse motion. The Cross Ramp Indicator lets members see how the EFX targets different muscles. As the Cross Ramp changes during a programmed course or is manually adjusted, the color indicator displays which muscles are being emphasized, letting members see what they're feeling. Cross Ramp makes the EFX the most versatile cardiovascular machine in years - ideal for members of all ages and fitness levels. Newcomers to your facility can use low Cross Ramp and resistance to simulate no-impact walking and to easily adapt to the "feel" of the motion. Athletes and other highly conditioned members can benefit from the full range of 20 Cross Ramp settings at any of 20 levels of resistance. And those who are rehabilitating can experiment with Cross Ramp and create a motion that's uniquely comfortable for them.
