The Word on the Street

UPDATE: As of late 2017 it appears as though Yowza may be out of business. In the mean time check out our Best Ellipticals section for a comparable model.

The Yowza Navarre elliptical machine is loaded with features. Starting with the Sure-Fit™ Pedaling System with perfect spacing, this technology provides for sure comfort. The pedals pivot on cushioned rubber buffers so there’s no numbness in the feet, a problem with cheap ellipticals that don’t have articulating footpads. Next, the rollerless, trackless rear-drive design is super quiet, smooth, and maintenance-free.

The Yowza Navarre features a 20" stride length, an iPod dock and hi-fidelity speakers, controls on the moving handlebars to adjust the 16 resistance levels, a wireless HR monitor, a robotically welded steel frame, and a great selection of programs. The Yowza Navarre is backed by one of the best elliptical machine warranties in the business covering 5 years on wearable parts and electronics, and 2 years of in-home service repair.

The first elliptical reviews on this $1,199 model are promising. Most new Navarre owners have used many other elliptical machines and they say that this is their favorite — both for the quality and for the performance. As Yowza points out, there is no track or rollers on this rear-drive model to get dirty or be in constant need of lubrication. The trainer is just solid and well made.
