QUICK REVIEW

Pros The Yowza Captiva is a likeable machine from an up and coming manufacturer. With a core rotation set up not found on other elliptical machines, the Yowza Captiva also contains great adjustability.
Cons
Summary The Yowza Captiva is one in a line of elliptical machines that are growing in popularity. The high-end design includes a natural range of motion, plenty of adjustability and the ability to align your workout with your personal body type and fitness level. The incline can also be set up to 50%, which is slightly less than other models like the Islamorada, but still very effective for core strengthening.

The Yowza Captiva has a rampless incline that allows for an increase in challenge as your body strengthens and requires more intensity. The machine’s electronic stride length also adjusts up to a full 28 inches, making it an ideal machine for all family members regardless of height.

Our Least Favorite Features

A few downsides to the Yowza Captiva:

  • The warranty is standard and not very impressive – 2 years for labor, 5 years for parts. However, the frame is a lifetime guarantee.
  • Other models from Yowza contain Bluetooth technology – the Captiva settles for a standard iPod dock.
  • Customer service has recently been called into question
