The Word on the Street

The Sole E35 may be the most popular model under $1500 for fitness professionals. The 20” stride length is notable for making this an elliptical trainer that even the tallest individual can use, and the high gear ratio gives a smooth workout even when you’re pushing your workout to the max. Trainers also take note of the machine’s 300 pound weight limit, which they feel reflects its durability and quality construction.

Many users feel that the Sole E35 elliptical trainer performs very nearly as well as elliptical machines costing twice as much, which is definitely saying something. They also feel confident purchasing a trainer that has one of the best warranties in the industry. Five years for parts and two for labor is virtually unheard of – and a good sign that these are machines that are going to last.

Our Thoughts

In this price range, you won’t find a much better performer that the Sole E35 elliptical trainer. Sole machines are notable in this price range for performing at near club quality and for lasting for years with a quiet, pleasurable ride. We love the foot pedals with their 2 degree inward slope. These reduce strain on the ankles and knees and give a more natural feel to your stride that makes every Sole elliptical machine a pleasure to use.
