Reach new heights with the SixStar Certified EX-79 Elliptical Trainer from Horizon Fitness, featuring 20 levels of power incline that lets you train more muscles for better and faster results. This Nike and iPod-equipped elliptical also saves your workout data directly to your iPod, while you workout to your favorite playlists on the iPod/MP3-compatible speaker system.



The Ex-79 console features 10 program options with on-the-fly adjustments.
SIXStar Certification
Derived from extensive biomechanics research and user panel testing, SIXstar Certification is a unique combination of the six key elements needed to deliver the smoothest, most natural elliptical feel available.

  • ZEROgap provides ideal pedal placement with zero distance between them to eliminate stress on hips and back
  • StraightUP body posture keeps your body upright for maximum comfort, minimal fatigue, and faster results
  • Low, 10-inch step-on height to make it safer and easier to get on and off this elliptical
  • Optimal handlebar spacing puts grips within ideal reach and distance for both small and large-framed users
  • The 18-inch FLATellipse foot path provides a more natural foot path, mimicking walking and running motions while minimizing fatigue
  • The large drive pulley ratio increases the angular momentum of the elliptical so you get the smoothest, most efficient motion possible

Sonic Surround Speakers
In addition to two quality speakers, the console includes an MP3 input for playing your favorite workout music, and a headphone output for privacy.

Made for iPod + Nike
Automatically save your workout data directly to your iPod� and track your progress on nikerunning.com. Dock and control your iPod directly from the console as you workout to your favorite playlists on the Sonic Surround speaker system.

Maxtone Arch Pedal
Unique arched pedal design slims and shapes leg muscles and glutes with ease.

Power Incline
Take your workouts to the next level by increasing intensity with the power incline, ranging from 0-100%, allowing you to train more muscles in less time for better results.

Frame Design
All-access. The front-drive design and low step-on height combine to make even first-time elliptical users more comfortable and confident.



The long stride and pivoting foot plates accurately match your natural motion for more comfort and less recovery time.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's a reason this is the best rated elliptical., Nov 14 2011
By Ona - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Horizon Fitness EX-79 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
My husband and I received this unit about a month ago. Shipping was very prompt, and we received phone calls in advance to schedule delivery. The box had a dent or two in it, but the unit is SO well packed that there was absolutely no damage to the trainer itself. We hauled it upstairs, piece by piece, and my husband assembled it while I escaped for a pedicure (end to end was about 2.5 hrs for one person). There were some interesting nuances in assembly, things such as holes & screws not lining up properly, which led to a screw or two getting stripped, but nothing that left him perplexed... swearing a few times is more like it. The font in the manual is quite small, so if your vision isn't hawk-like, you'll be getting your squint on.

Anyhoo, onto its use. I absolutely love this thing. Ellipticals are by far my preferred cardio machines, and this one is every bit as good as the ones at the gym that run 3-4x the price. Extraordinarily smooth pedal action, completely noiseless (which I'm not used to - "is this thing on?"), fan is somewhat nominal but a nice touch. I haven't used the iPod / mp3 connection because we have a music source in the bonus room, so there's no need, but again, it's a nice touch. It has a nice long stride, one that seems more circular in motion than other ellipticals I've used, so the motion is a hybrid between cross-country and a bike. Its resistance settings seem more difficult than other units I've used... what I mean is that a level 4 (on a scale of 1-20) on this machine requires more effort than a level 4 on the Lifestrides at the gym (these use a 1-10 or 1-12 scale, I can't recall which). I'm fine with it, but the point is that you wouldn't necessarily use the same resistance settings, that's all. Backward training takes some getting used to because of the more circular stride pattern, but you get used to just about any elliptical with consistent use. The unit does not rock on the carpet - it's steady and solid. The only thing I'd like to change is the space between the upper handlebars - when you use the lower ones (with the pulse sensors), the upper ones can touch your forearms if you're leaning forward at all (but that's a no-no anyway). Another couple inches between them and this wouldn't happen, but it's a gentle reminder that I need to correct my form.

Yes, it's pricy, but if you're investing in your health and you're not planning to either join or go to the gym, you'll pay less in 2 years for this than you would for said membership (depending on monthly dues, of course).

This review is from: Horizon Fitness EX-79 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
Works great, easy to assemble, missing some of the nice presets I've seen on others but the functionality is all there. So far its been very durable, and the glide is very smooth. Getting the extra feature of automatic power incline vs the manual incline is worth the money.

Fast shipping, really great service by the shipping company. Not difficult to assemble, and we love it. We went all over town trying out the "feel" of different elliptical trainers, and chose this one as the most comfortable for us. We use it in an apartment and have had no problems with noise.
