Review of the ProForm Crosswalk 850 Elliptical

I have to say that out of all the elliptical machines made in the past few years  the ProForm Crosswalk 850 Elliptical is one of the best options if you’re on a tight budget.  The compact design, the stride length of up to 22 inches and the lifetime frame warranty are just a few great benefits of the ProForm Crosswalk 850 Elliptical.

I just love the sturdiness and design of the machine. The only downfall I can see of the ProForm Crosswalk 850 Elliptical is the 275 pound weight limit. Since there are quite a few overweight people in the world I am afraid there would be some that could not benefit from the ProForm Crosswalk 850 Elliptical machine until they lost weight on their own or through another process first. With a price tag of $699 I am very impressed.  I have done many reviews of ellipticals, and in comparison to all the other ellipticals in its class, I give the ProForm Crosswalk 850 Elliptical an 8 out of 10.

Why You Should Use an Elliptical

For all of you out there thinking of purchasing an Elliptical, or even just thinking about making the switch from elliptical to treadmill at your local gym, listen to this.  I’m only 22 years old, I’ve been playing sports for my whole life and I’m already feeling its affects on my body.  I try and go to the gym as much as possible, I usually weight train and I kind of throw any cardio workout on the back burner.  The reason for this is my sore joints.  As you would imagine, if my young adult bones are aching, then all of you baby boomers out their looking to stay in shape must be in agony.

But wait!  I just found the solution; Ellipticals!  Yeah I know they’ve been around for a while.  I tried one once and it just felt really awkward, and I felt like an idiot using it.  But a few weeks ago I figured I would give them another shot, and it was great.  Sure it took a little longer to burn the same amount of calories as a treadmill, but I was pain free afterwards.  So I started to research Ellipticals on my own, and made up some Elliptical reviews to share with the masses.  You may look stupid on one (well I know I do), but they’re effective and osteoporosis free.
