UC San Diego Metabolic Testing Study

Determined that riding an ElliptiGO bike required on average 33% more effort than a conventional bike at the same speed. Heart rate and perceived exertion were found to be a 1:1 ratio between the ElliptiGO bike and running, based on workout duration. Read More

University of Memphis Study

Determined that performance improvements can be gained when replacing a few runs per week with cross-training and that ElliptiGO training was the only cross-training that helped improve fuel economy and lower limb joint mobility. Read More

“I use the ElliptiGO multiple times a week, to add on to an easy run day (7-9 mile run followed by 30 min ElliptiGO), for a shakeout (30-40 min ElliptiGO easy), or to simulate a workout completely (6 x 800, 2 x 400 on outdoor track w/ 1 lap easy in between). I use a lot of differnt cross training options, but I find the ElliptiGO better for simulating a regular run; my heart rate is very similar and it feels like the perfect effort.”

“We have injury-prone athletes that just can’t run the mileage it takes to compete at a national level. With the ElliptiGO, we can have them run a safe mileage for their body to keep them healthy, and then supplement those miles with extra workouts on the ElliptiGO.” –Doug Soles, Head Coach at Great Oak High School, National XC Team Champions Read the Team Spotlight >

“From a basketball standpoint, we can get the conditioning that we need, keep the stress levels down, and get outside for athletes that are traditionally training indoors. We get all 30 athletes on them at least 4 times a week and combine these sessions with our heart rate monitoring system so we can prescribe workouts more specifically on the athlete’s heart rate.” – Michael Bewley, Director of Strength & Conditioning for Basketball, Clemson University Watch the Video Interview>
