Horizon Elite E7 Elliptical Review

Control your heart rate with greater accuracy thanks to the Polar Wireless heart rate chest strap. Handlebar grips are notorious for being at least slightly inaccurate, which makes the wireless chest strap a much more agreeable option for those who depend upon heart monitors for their health and safety. Enjoy removable dual action handlebars that accommodate for both stationary and moveable positions. Tone your entire physique or focus just on your upper frame with these adjustments. While the Elite E7 doesn’t have a full-color console, you can still get the best stats of your fitness regime as well as quick keys to adjust your incline, resistance level and more.

The Bottom Line 

Horizon Fitness has made a winning elliptical machine with the Elite E7. Without a full-color console, some users may be disappointed. However, this is incredibly close to a high-end machine you’ll find in a commercial gym setting, combined with the convenient comforts of working out at home. The Elite E7 comes with a ViaFit connectivity system that sends your workout stats to your mobile apps for easy viewing. You will also greatly benefit from its six star frame design that promotes natural movement and ergonomic fitness – say goodbye to stressed out joints and strained muscles for good. One of the best parts of Horizon’s Elite E7 is the five-year warranty on all parts. This is above and beyond what many companies offer on a machine within this range of price and features. When you’re ready for a serious workout that isn’t complicated with a ton of fancy features, the E7 will serve you well. While it has plenty of interactive technology options along with perks like power incline control and an accurate heartrate monitor, this machine keeps things simple yet effective enough for even the most novice elliptical user.
