Sole E35 Elliptical Trainer

The E35 elliptical from Sole® is a value in every sense of the word. It's designed with an easy-to-use console that features a vibrant LCD console, and a built-in cooling fan and water bottle holder offer total convenience. Fluid, natural motion is provided by the whisper-quiet drive system, while the combination of a 25-lb flywheel and high gear ratio ensures a smooth feel with plenty of top-end resistance.

Rated a "best buy" by leading consumer websites and magazines, the Sole E35 elliptical trainer delivers an efficient full-body workout in the comfort of your bedroom, basement, or garage. The E35 is equipped with a heavy 25-pound flywheel, a high gear ratio not found on most comparable models, and a whisper-quiet drive system.

The E35's console includes a vibrant LCD display and an integrated sound system.

As a result, the trainer delivers an extremely fluid performance and plenty of top-end resistance, helping it function like a much more expensive trainer. The E35's power incline feature, meanwhile, boosts resistance even more while targeting different core muscle groups, adding diversity to your workout. Simply press a button to raise the incline ramp to your preferred position. The ramp angle is fully adjustable from a level plane up to 30 degrees, so you can individually target and work all major lower body muscles.

The E35 makes it easy to track your workout progress via the vibrant 6.5-inch blue LCD display, which includes windows for resistance, time, distance, calories burned, and pulse. The console also offers a number of handy amenities, including built-in speakers for listening to your iPod or MP3 player, built-in cooling fans, and a water bottle holder.

The E35 comes complete with two heart-rate-controlled workout options, so you can customize the workout specifically to your needs. Throughout your HR workout, the E35 will display a heart rate zone graph on the console while adjusting the resistance to keep you in your target zone (the trainer includes a wireless chest strap that touts a 99.9 percent accuracy rating). The remainder of the time, you can challenge yourself with the six automatic programs or two customizable programs.

To encourage a more comfortable workout, Sole added oversized, custom-designed foot pedals to the E35. Designed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist and sports enthusiast, the pedals feature a 2-degree inward slope, helping reduce the ankle and knee stress that's common in other elliptical machines. In addition, the footbeds are adjustable, so users with different gaits can find the perfect position for their needs. Each foot pedal offers three variable settings and pivots at the toe of the pedal.

Additional features include a pair of stationary handlebars with built-in pulse sensors; adjustable incline and resistance controls built into the arms; and 16 resistance levels.

The E35 includes oversized, custom-designed foot pedals.
