28 Jan Octane Q37ci and Q37c Elliptical Machines are Best Buy winners
The Octane Q37ci Elliptical and Octane Q37ci Elliptical are two of the best-selling and most highly rated elliptical machines in the world.
In fact, the Octane Q37ci Elliptical made Oprah Winfrey’s “My Favorite Things” list for 2012.
Octane Fitness somehow improved upon its long run as a leading producer of ellipticals in the U.S. with the Q37ci, which upgrades great previous features and quality.
An optional side platform can be added as well and users have the ability to truly incorporate upper body workouts, making the Octane 37ci Octane Elliptical (available at At Home Fitness for a sale price of $2,999, save $300) a true total body workout machine.
The “i” in 37ci stands for “interactive.” This model features an interactive console that has four extra programs not available on the Octane Q37c Elliptical ($2,499 at AHF, save $300), which is an award-winning machine in its own right.
The Q37ci is one of At Home Fitness’ best sellers because of the interactive heart rate feature, which lets the user wear a wireless harness that detects and monitors your heart rate. The machine can even be programmed to increase or decrease resistance depending on your desired heart rate goal.
The Q37c has the comfortable feel and quality of the 37ci, but instead has a heart-rate monitor that the user must touch directly to activate. You can get a great upper and lower body workout on this machine,
FitnessProfessorReview.com has honored both of these machines with multiple Best Buy awards — theQ37ci again for the Best Elliptical Under $3500 and the Q37c for Best Elliptical Under $3000 after being praised for ergonomics, construction and aesthetics.
