I am not an expert in exercises equipment, not even close, so I won't pretend.  All I will say is that I have been using Life Fitness and Precor Elliptical for the last several years and I saw the Cybex Arc Trainer at the gym and tried it out.   It is a little crazy looking, but I have to say,...

The Cybex Arc Trainer gives a good workout as far as elliptical machines are concerned but I have found the incline changes slightly confusing (the Arc Trainer has inclines ranging from elliptical to fit hiker) but I use it at the gym - perhaps if I had the manual it would be clearer. However if you...

As someone who only misses a couple of days a month a the gym,, this machine is the perfect machine to incorporate into your workout schedule every third day.  It's perfect for cardio or fat burning and best of all there is no added stress from pounding on your joints, back, and legs.  If you are fortunate enough to use it at a gym that has a tv attached, just plug in your headset and enjoy yourself for the next 40 -60 minutes.  Stretch afterwards and you are good to go!

The Cybex arc trainer provides a great workout for both the upper and lower body while giving the knees a break. I go to the gym just about everyday, 6 months ago they brought in a dozen Arc Trainers. I have been hooked on them ever since. While I do mix up my routine with running, stair climbing and the bike to get the best results. I look forward to 45 minutes on ths machine. I recommend this for anyone that likes the eliptical it's very simiar but you actually bend your knees more (it's kinda like running on sand) and you have the option to use it like a stair climber too. It seems to be really...

This machine is easy to use. I love being able to quickly check my heart rate. The heart rate feedback allows me to adjust either resistance, incline, or both to achieve an appropriate intensity for my workout. It promotes better balance, flexibility and works all the core muscles as well.

I always feel that I get the most of my workouts when using the Arc Trainer.  No other machine I have ever tried has given me such an intense workout every time.

I had never used an elliptical until about a year ago, and i love it. I have lost 113lbs in a year. It is easy to use, even my daughter likes to get on it.

After using the Cybex Arc Trainer at my club I bought one for the home. Allows full range workouts from recovery rides to the ultimate explosive intervals or long endurance sessions. Can really vary your workouts. Incredibly smooth & silent. Communicates with Polar Heart rate monitor. I bought mine direct from Cybex and they had it delivered and set up in my home. Still loving it one year later and at least 100,000 calories later. Only machine that compares is the Precor AMT but that costs $10,000. May not be good for a small person because of stride length (cannot be changed)- suggest giving... review »

I am reviewing the Cybex Arc trainer eliptical machine. I use this machine at my local Snap Fitness gym. It's a great machine for many reasons.

It's very user friendly so it's easy to get your work out started. The machine has a huge variety of work out options from pre-programmed work out routines to a free workout that you can pace yourself.

The machine has nice wide foot pedals and a very smooth eliptical actions. It has great hand rails to use to stabalize yourself and also has arm bars that you can use to make your workout even more effective.

The machine combines the workouts of a climber,...

This is the one and only thing i do at the gym.  Gives me a great workout and i feel great afterwords..  something that works upper and lower body..  You can use only your arms, pulling the weight of your body, or even just hold on to the handles and let your legs do all of the work!!!! Next time your at the gym try the elliptical for about 20 min

I love the Cybex. Whenever I go to the gym that is the machine I head to first. It's easy on my "bad" knee and it give me a great workout. If you like to sweat like me, the Cybex is the machine for you.

I am a regular exerciser and a big fan of ellipticals.  I have to admit the Arc machine gives me a better cardio workout and works your thighs in a different way.  I can burn 450 calories in 35 min.

The Arc Trainer has all the advantages of an elliptical with a better workout!  I would wait in line at the gym if the equipment is in use.  I would love to have one at home!
