Octane Elliptical Trainers: Innovative Design for High Intensity Workouts

Octane Fitness Logo

One would think that Octane elliptical trainers would have a larger market share since they are made by a company dedicated to making only ellipticals, including seated models as well as standing units. Formed in 2001 by two former executives of Life Fitness, Octane strives to deliver quality and value in their high-end line-up of machines.

Natural Stride Motion

Octane Elliptical Machines Octane elliptical trainers, which retail for $2,000 to $4,200, have a unique design. The machines have two rails per pedal in their four-bar linkage front drive system, and this helps to give the Octane ellipticals their stable feel. In addition, the pedals are very close together (as close as 1.8") for a remarkable and comfy ergonomic stance. This natural stride motion will feel better on an Octane than you’ll find on a more expensive Precor.

Octane also offers the effective X-Mode Cross Training Program, which instructs the user to do various exercises at one-minute intervals, such as pedaling faster, doing squats, etc. The program generates a randomly selected exercise to perform. After a two-minute recovery period, the user will start on a different muscle group to target.

Octane Elliptical Trainers

Innovative. Comfortable. All Quiet

The machines have an adjustable stride length from 18" to 26". The upper body workout is extraordinary thanks to the exclusive Converging Path handlebars, which works in conjunction with Body-Mapping Ergonomics for fluid motion on each and every foot stride. Octane elliptical reviews are nearly universally positive about this quiet, smooth ride.

As for the machinery under the hood, the components are exceptionally engineered. Technologically superior to Precor and Life Fitness cross trainers, Octane elliptical machines for home users match the quality found in their commercial-quality club line. It’s no surprise that these trainers have been given Best Buy kudos from several consumer publications like Health, Consumer Guide, and Prevention.com.

What We Say

We now feel our initial review on Octane elliptical trainers a few years back was a tad too harsh, mainly due to head-to-head price comparisons. However, as the market has grown more competitive through the recession, Octane’s style, quality, durability, and value are notable. The verdict? This brand is outstanding and the price is well worth it.
