Octane Q37e Elliptical Trainer Reviews

The Octane Q37e is definitely a really excellent machine - very ruggedly build, wonderful displays, very good exercise motion, all with a fairly small footprint.

Be very cautious of one thing though: Cleaning the wheels. Everybody emphasizes how quiet the Q37e is, but if you don't clean its wheels very diligently, it'll rapidly become annoyingly noisy. If you're a big-time sweater like me, you want to clean it after every use. Also wear a T-shirt while you exercise, to soak up your sweat and thereby reduce the amount that gets onto the tracks. In my case, since I'd drop sweat all over it...

I've had my Octane for about 2 months now and use it almost everyday.  I was reluctant to spend the money, but now I'm so glad that I did!  What initially impressed me was the small footprint- I live in a 550 sq. ft. studio apartment, so that was very important to me.

I also live above someone and the Octane is very quiet- just a swooshing noise that is barely audible.

Would definitely buy again... very happy!

This one sold itself.  If you are looking for a great elliptical workout, this one has it all.

Convergant arms move with your natural flow, not straight forward and back.  The leg stride is more natural, most of the ones I tried were uncomfortable.  They also have a model that automatically adjust for a longer stride.

 Has lots of programs for varying your workout.  I can read while I walk, or jog.

since my husband has a bad knee due to old football high school injury, he cannot run or jog and the treadmills allow him to have painless cardio exercises for hi health. this elliptical is used daily . not just my husband but also our 6 children and 3 grand children. i have recomended this octane q37e elliptical trainer to my friends and also my childrens high school who also has purchased 3 of them for the athletes. this trainer is a great way to get your cardio going as well as loose weight along with diet. my son who plays football in high school has lost 20 ponds using this trainer. this trainer...

The Octane Q37e elliptical trainer is perfect for any type of gym go-er and for someone who has enough money to buy one for their own personal use at home. It is a great workout and if you vary the program you use, resistance, speed, or do intervals you can break up quite a sweat. But I do think their programming for calories burned and calories burned per hour is off because it says I normally burn 1000 calories an hour, which seems way too high. I like the foot pedals and the handlebars, but you really have to concentrate on using your arms if you want your upper body to work as well as your...

The Octane Q37e Elliptical Trainer is amazing.  A friend of mine bought this gem, and I absolutely love it.  It's very smooth and fairly quiet.  I found the buttons and special feature gadgets user friendly and easy to use.  The user manual explained some of the hard core features, but the basic stuff that most people would use is pretty much self explanitory.  I get so much more exercise with the Octane Q37e than when I was going to the gym because I can really rock out to my music and sing at the top of my lungs without feeling the prying eyes of onlookers.  This machine is so easy to use,...

Keep a towel close also to help clean up during and after use...

My husband works for a fitness equipment retailer, and for about a year I would drool over the Octane. Finally, we made the decision to take the plunge and make the purchase and we haven't been disappointed at all.

- Small footprint - great for small-ish spaces versus those other ellipticals with the long tracks
- Great overall workout - if you use the Arm Blaster along with the regular ellipitcal strides you're sweating within mintues
- Perfect for "casual" users and athletes - I'm the casual user - probably hop on once or twice a week, and my husband "abuses" it every day. It has held up great...

My husband is the buyer of the Octane, I just went along for the ride. WOW what a machine! I use the Octane like a walk in the mud. I call it " trudging through the mud" and what a work out. Everything in the above reviews are spot on. Pricey but so worth it. It's not very pretty ( reminds me of a bumper car) and its not a clothes line so use it !!!
