Cybex Arc Trainer
Cybex Arc Trainer is a comprehensively featured exercise machine which is targeted to a broad user group and is thought to be one of the most cutting edge products in its class. Following an intense Research and Development phase, the Cybex Arc Trainer is fully featured with a wide array of functionalities and is specifically built to accommodate different age classes and various intensity levels of workouts. The product has garnered mostly positive reviews from its users, and is renowned for its safety, efficiency and ease of use.
One of the most coveted features of the Cybex Cross Arc Trainer is its usage in a variety of applications. Users can select from a wide range of intensity levels, which makes every workout session suit its user according to their goals. For example, athletes can select a higher intensity level while the elderly people can opt in for the lower/mid intensity. For serious weight loss purposes, it has been widely accepted that “interval trainings” are the most successful for burning fat. Interval training is a combination of higher intensity with lower intensity training sessions, where a user can supposedly run for one minute and walk for two minutes – the pattern considered as one of the most effective workout regimes to burn fat. Now Cybex Arc Trainers can be programmed for precise interval training, thus making this machine “most wanted” for the myriads of people desperate to lose weight quickly and effectively. The strides are also adjustable, which is a unique feat amongst other elliptical trainers. The stride heights can be adjusted at various levels, for example, the lower inclination levels are touted as “glide” – and can be compared to the movements of “cross country skiers”. The highest level is called “climb” with the stride imitating the movements of a mountain climber, thus ensuring a higher intensity workout.
The “BMW of elliptical trainers” as it is often called, the Cybex Arc Trainer is designed to be very ergonomic in its functions, ensuring that the workout sessions doesn’t strain the joints. This was made possible via their unique reverse arc movement, which ensures the legs move in a biomechanically correct pathway. The trainer also ensures the optimal posture of the body during the exercise sessions and virtually removing any possibility of straining the back. Experienced users and instructors around the globe have repeatedly praised the Cybex Arc Trainers for their safety features and ergonomic designs.
The digital display is impeccable and comprises standard items such as the calories, distance, calories burnt per hour, heart rate and strides per minutes including others. There are two levels of displays, with the lower level specifying metrics such as inclination, time and resistance levels.
The Cybex Arc trainer is an extremely well put together machine, with an irresistible solid feel and smoothness of the movements. The machine does not require any power cord, and the wide cup holder can accommodate bottles of any size and shape. The company is extremely interactive, with its customer support being touted as friendly and capable, and any complaints of maltreatment are unheard of.
However there are a few shortcomings of the elliptical trainer. The shelf itself is too slim to fit the iPods and it’s a major setback considering most users accompany a MP3 player during workout. The Cybex Arc Trainer also doesn’t have a preprogrammed “Cool Down” feature, which according to most of the professionals is a major routine to ensure the heart doesn’t get strained out. Although the intensity levels can be manually adjusted to imitate the cooling down effects, the preset is definitely a missing puzzle of the otherwise complete jigsaw.
Despite a few shortcomings, the Cybex Arc Trainer redefines State of the Art when it comes to next gen elliptical trainers. With its impeccable design, safety and functionalities, it has already proven to be the leading elliptical trainer in the market today.
