AFG Elliptical Trainers – Heavy Flywheels Give Smoothest Ride

AFG Elliptical Reviews

AFG elliptical trainers are a new specialty line up of fitness machines from Chinese owned Johnson Health Tech, a company which may not sound familiar but it ranks among the top five of the largest exercise equipment manufacturers in the world.

Advanced Fitness Group, which is a spin-off of another sub-company, Horizon Fitness, also makes treadmills, exercise bikes, and strength trainers. Headquartered in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin, AFG designs and builds a very limited line of less than half a dozen elliptical trainers ranging in price from $899 to $1799.

What’s unique about these elliptical trainers is that the pedals are riding just 11 inches off the floor. If you’ve ever experienced the awkwardness and precarious height of climbing onto a rear flywheel elliptical, you’ll appreciate the ease of this cool design feature.

Strong Warranty and Customer Service

One area where AFG elliptical trainers stand out from the competition is in the way the company backs up their machines. The warranties are outstanding — among the strongest in the industry. The company also wants to be known for superior service, and elliptical reviews (though there aren’t many available to view) tent to rate AFG’s customer service and in-home tech repairs to be satisfactory.

What We Say

AFG elliptical trainers have taken on the toughest price bracket — the over $800 but less than $2000 market. They are good machines but not great considering the competition they have going against the best-selling, mid-range brands. The real problem is that these are re-packaged Horizon ellipticals. They have been re-branded as AFG machines because too many of the $1000+ Horizon machines were getting poor reviews. Time will tell if AFG can carve a market share away from industry leaders like Sole and NordicTrack.

Model Reviews

AFG 2.0 AE Elliptical - A lot of value for the price.

AFG 3.0 AE Elliptical - A pretty basic model that doesn’t offer much of a wow factor.

AFG 4.0 AE Elliptical - This model is a winner, designed to rival lower-end, health club quality machines.

AFG 18.0 AXT Ascent Trainer - Provides a superior, heart-pumping 'ascent' when doing climbing exercises. Variable stride length and moving workout arms engage all muscle groups.
