Before you buy the Bodycraft Fitness ECT-2500 Programmable Elliptical Trainer Exercise Machine you should look over for the BodyCraft ECT-2100 Crosstrainer. The difference is just on one little number in the name and more or less $300 from your pocket. But the most important differences are in the performance and features.

One advantage that the BodyCraft ECT-2500 has is that its construction is one of the best in elliptical crosstrainers with heavy duty wells on a heavy gauge steel frame, plus all the high performance components added by BodyCraft. But, the question will be, is it worth it?

You can expect a magnificent elliptical crosstrainer out of the BodyCraft ECT-2500. The construction of this machine is all that you can ask for. Its 80 levels resistance is dreamlike for enthusiasts of these types of workout machines with 400 watts of ultra smooth resistance, usually within this price range you can’t find anything beyond 350 watts resistance.

The ribs on the pedals are raised to increase comfort and reduce fatigue, while the end caps can be adjusted to ensure the BodyCraft ECT-2500 is placed leveled in the floor, and the front end caps have wheels for you to carry it around the house. Also the pedals can be adjusted and it has a drink holder.

The LED dot matrix display has 6 windows that will display all the important information that you need during your workout, with scrolling instructions from the preset programs, plus the heart rate programs and information, it also will give you 2 programs that can be manually defined by you.

But then there are details that will turn off the heat on the deal. Even with a good resistance the stride length can only be adjusted from 14’’ to 16’’, and as many professionals will tell you, this will just nullify the amazing resistance for any user over 5’7’’.

Overall it is a great elliptical crosstrainer with high quality components like the heavy drive system and the eddy current brake. It is easy to assemble, you and a friend should have it ready to be sed in 30 minutes.
