ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER MAKES NORMAL?

Our elliptical trainers are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical nois- es. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our elliptical trainers. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more back- ground noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.

CAN I MOVE THE TRAINER EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?

Your elliptical trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your Elliptical Trainer by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your ellipti- cal trainer in a comfortable and inviting room. Your Elliptical Trainer is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their Elliptical Trainers facing the TV or a picture window. If at all pos- sible, avoid putting your Elliptical Trainer in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Elliptical Trainer should be in a attractive setting.
