The Reebok RL 900 Elliptical has a good construction and an attractive pack of features. It is smooth and quiet, but you can expect some headaches to assemble it. It is a great choice considering all the features that it has, plus the fact that it is a Reebok product, for an affordable price.

You won’t see much marketing effort for these products, if you ever hear of them it is because people have been talking about them because they are good. If you do over the internet and look for reviews on the Reebok RL 900 Elliptical you will see lots of satisfied customers raving about their best buy.

Among the best for its price range

One of the things that is amazing about the Reebok RL 900 Elliptical is the incline ramp, this feature will allow you to increase the difficulty of your exercise while increasing the amount of calories that you burn with the added effort. You can go from 10% to 30% incline, it will feel like climbing a mountain.

It is a solid elliptical, weighs 270 pounds, which isn’t too much for an elliptical, making it steady and sturdy to hold user with 350 pounds. At least that is what Reebok says, but if you are over the 300 pounds mark you will see that the RL 900 starts to feel your weight and shake. Even so, it is much better than most elliptical within this price range.

Is has 12 programs, a large monitor, built in fans, easy access quick incline and resistance controls, built-in iFIT technology and heart rate pulse grip handles. The features are great and very well built, it looks like they were not cutting corners in quality when they were building this elliptical.

But it isn’t easy to put all of this together. One thing that customers have complained is about the assembly of the Reebok RL 900 Elliptical, it is a bit hard and complicated, plus you will need two people to do it and 2 to 3 hours of work.

The brand Reebok is a famous and reputable name for rubber shoes. Now, they are also making their mark on elliptical exercise machines. The Reebok RL 725 elliptical trainer is manufactured and made by ICON fitness to target the mid-range market. It’s a perfect machine for those who are looking for a solid machine that can stand the test of time at a reasonable price.

Reebok RL 725 Elliptical Specification:

• Upper body workout
• Silent magnetic resistance
• 18” stride
• 8 pre-set programs
• Reverse motion
• Variable foot pedal positioning
• iFit compatibility
• Pulse grip and chest strap heart rate monitors
• Rear flywheel
• 14 levels of resistance
• Warranty: 90 days

If you are looking for an elliptical exercise machine that could last for several years and don’t want to break your bank account then try checking out the Reebok RL 725. At less than a thousand dollars, the high quality that comes with this machine makes the Reebok brand even prouder for extending their name for ICON fitness to use.

Reebok is known for their high quality and durability. And this is what you will get in their elliptical machine as well. It’s a well constructed and solid machine. Other brands will find it hard to compete with the reputation that Reebok has and the machine being backed by ICON. The ICON fitness company is reputable because they invest a lot in researching the latest technologies and tries to be the trend setter which is evident on their elliptical equipments.

The iFit compatibility allows you to download additional workout programs for RL 725 elliptical machine. This only means that you can prolong the performance you get on the exercise machine.  So even if it only has 8 pre-set programs on it, you can still add more workout program on it. This is a perfect match for those who gets easily bored on workout routines.

The Reebok RL 725 Elliptical is also a great machine for all around body work out as it also promotes upper body work out. Some expensive elliptical machines don’t have the upper body work out feature. This makes the machine even stronger when it comes to recommendations by fitness experts. Now you can get a total and all around body work out including cardio and muscle toning workout with just a single machine.

The 18”stride is something that should be checked on as most elliptical offers a 19” stride. This could either be an advantage for some and a disadvantage for others. If you are not blessed with height then the stride can work to your advantage. On the other hand, if you are gifted with a towering height then don’t bother trying the machine as it can be uncomfortable for you.

The main complain about RL 725 is that after sometime the noise on the machine deteriorates. It starts off as a silent machine but as it gets older, the squeaking and the noise can be a problem. The warranty is also a turn off. Any warranty that says 90 days could make me turn down the machine.

The Reebok RL 725 Elliptical is one great buy considering the features and the durability of the machine. It also comes with a reasonable price.

Another warmed up left over from Icon fitness, the Reebok RL 1500 elliptical is essentially the same machine as the Nordic Track Elite 1300 with a couple of pluses.

I could essentially give the same review for this machine as I did the Nordic Track, but for the sake of anyone interested in this machine I will not.
Built on a solid principle, the Reebok RL 1500 uses a rare earth magnetic field for resistance. Not a bad resistance system but with only 12 levels it does not meet the needs of all users.

Reebok RL1500 Elliptical Specifications

• Stride Legnth: 20″
• Type of Resistance: Magnetic
• Resistance Levels: 12
• Dimensions: 78″ x 27″ x 72″
• Product Weight: 220 lbs
• Max User Weight: 300 lbs
• Display: Matrix with message boxes
• Programs: 15
• Warranty: lifetime Frame, 1 year parts, and labor

With a lifetime frame warranty and the Ifit system included on this machine it scores some major points and gets off easy for some of the quality problems which continue all the way up the Icon line because of materials used.
As always the ifit system is a good way to add targeted trainer created workouts to your machine. You can purpose the specific trainings you need and expand your machine’s range of programs by 25 programs per card for $30 per card, not a terrible deal.

Short Lived Happiness

A lot of reviewers have good things to say about the features of this machine and how it is a recommended machine, this however only makes sense if you do not use a new machine for a few hours.

The major problem with a lot of Icon Fitness made machines is that even the most expensive models tend to wear out prematurely, giving way to squeaks and groans and moans. The initial smoothness wears out and the machines can become jerky as they age.

This is something you pick up when talking to customers who have owned these machines for a long time or when you hop on a used machine. The new machines feel smooth, mostly because they are new, and seldom have any sound at all.

I advise anyone interested in this machine to talk to someone you know who has owned it previously for a number of years if you can use their old machine.

The RL1500 is fairly feature rich, with cooling fans and the ifit system, but it can’t be over looked that the other machines in the $1500 price range have the same features, better displays, MP3 connectivity, speakers, and quite a bit more durability.

Boo To Many Reviewers

The RL1500 gets a lot of good marks from reviewers, mostly because it is quite a bit better than the other machines in the Reebok line and they are surprized.

What they fail to do however is consider how long this $1500 machine will function for you as well as it does its first day. It may be little over a couple months, or maybe a year, but once a year is up the problem is all

My honest advice is to look at the Sole or Smooth Fitness lines, like the E35, E25, or E95.
