When it comes to elliptical machines, all definitely have a distinct motion and feel—critical factors that influence whether you look forward to or dread and eventually give up on your elliptical machines exercises.

Because of our commitment to deliver the best, most effective elliptical machines, Octane Fitness dedicates significant resources to biomechanics and ergonomic research. Rather than just replicate existing elliptical machines, we strive to surpass others by carefully examining how the body moves naturally and then thoughtfully considering how we can best accommodate all types of exercisers.

We invest in numerous tools, such as sophisticated motion analysis software, solid elliptical machines modeling, comprehensive testing, video analysis and human interface studies with input from biomechanists, engineers, medical professionals, personal trainers and exercisers. And we've teamed up with the Department of Human Performance at Minnesota State University to conduct scientific studies of how our elliptical machines affect the body and how particular innovations could even further enhance elliptical machines.

Ultimately, this dedication to research is what separates us from the rest—and helps you get the results you're after.
