The Healthrider elliptical trainer line is manufactured by ICON Fitness, one of the largest home exercise equipment manufacturers in the world. ICON’s enduring success is based on their keen awareness of what consumers want, and one of the things they want is choice. Healthrider elliptical trainers fit into a specific price range - $350 to just under $1,000 – and appeal to buyers who are interested in a solid machine with some options and a high comfort level. Because Healthrider is backed by ICON’s impressive research and development division, the company can afford to provide quality at a relatively low cost.

ICON has introduced three solid performers in the Healthrider elliptical trainer line, which is a limited choice for some consumers. Because they own so many other brands, however, they don’t necessarily lose by offering only a few. Instead they focus on the quality of these few in the middle price range and appeal to consumers familiar with the Healthrider name.Trainers recommend the Healthrider models with some reservations. They feel that these elliptical trainers are good performers with a decent warranty. They have a slight hesitation about the stride length, however, and the lack of or limited incline options, depending upon the model you choose.
People who have purchased a Healthrider elliptical trainer give it an above average rating, although not as high a rating as some others in the same price range. While most say these machines are durable and reliable, they note that the 90 day warranty isn’t as good as most other warranties in this price range. Many suggest paying extra for an extended warranty option in the event that you run into problems in the first few years. Another complaint was the customer service support, which some felt was below par, especially if you called with questions after the initial 90 days had passed.
The Healthrider 8.5 EX with Built-In 7” TV Screen - Sturdy and well built. A reliable mid-priced machine with attractive lines.
The Healthrider C515e - Basic Model from Icon Fitness - Another low-priced model geared to individuals who want to start getting in shape without a large outlay of money.
