The Word on the Street

UPDATE: As of 2016, it looks like Star Trac is no longer distributing the ST Fitness brand ellipticals.  

For comparable models, take a look at our top picks in the $500-$1000 range as well as the $2000-$3000 range to find a model similarly priced to the whole ST Fitness lineup.

The ST Fitness 8810 Total Body Trainer comes with upper body workout arms for “total body” conditioning all in one machine.

Most pro trainers would argue that no elliptical can take the place of real strength training workouts with weights, but the resistance in the arms does seem to offer some benefits for the upper body.

As for the rest of the machine, the ST Fitness 8810 elliptical trainer comes with chrome rails and a superior drive system design, 20 resistance levels, extra-wide articulating footplates, a 350-pound user capacity, transport wheels, and a 19.5" stride length.

ST Fitness 8810 Console

Elliptical reviews recommend this 8810 over its identical twin, the 8820 model, which has a self-contained power supply that requires no external power. You’ll save $400 by buying the 8810 instead (it has a power plug) but more important, ST Fitness customers complain that the self-generating power feature of the 8820 does have some glitches; that is, the display should stay on for several minutes once you stop pedaling but the screen goes blank immediately.

Our Thoughts

Though the ST Fitness 8810 Total Body Trainer has an MSRP of $2,395, you can find it on Amazon for under $2,000.

It has quality components and is the design of a highly regarded fitness manufacturer, Star Trac, but it has several drawbacks: it lacks adjustability, the ergonomic feel is average as is the noise level, and the console doesn’t have the cool features that competitor models do.

While this machine is far better than the 8820 at $2,895, you would do better to look at ellipticals made by True or Life Fitness.
