By now (and if you’ve been searching around for an excellent mid ranged exercise machine), you’ve probably already heard of Captiva – Elliptical Machine & Trainer. After all, it’s one of the best out there in the market. If not, let us give you a short tour on what you may have missed.
As of writing, the company that represents Captiva is Yowza Fitness, which in any case is not that quite popular in the US yet as it is somewhat a newcomer in the market. In Europe however, they’re pretty big fish and are trusted by many where exercise machines are concerned.
One of the most interesting aspects of the Captiva – Elliptical Machine & Trainer would probably have to be its Variable Motion Elliptical which allows user to get 12 motions that will vary from 18 to 32 inches which will help in working out different lower body muscles, give variety as well as increase the effectiveness of the cardio exercise. Another innovative feature is the patented counter-rotational Core motion that will force your body to constantly twist and work your core muscles allowing you to reach your target faster.
It doesn’t stop there either as there are so many bells and whistles included in the machine that’s worth mentioning. Even at first glance, the machine looks visibly solid with its thick, powder coated steel frame, robust resistance system housing and well placed handlebars, knobs and buttons. Able to carry up to 400 lbs maximum user weight, almost anyone will have no problems getting the kind of quality exercise they need from the machine.
Fitted with another of Yowza’s patented technology, the Sure-Fit self-pivoting pedals which accurately turns along with the elliptical motion of the machine, impact to your knees and ankles is absorbed and therefore eliminated making the workout safer and more comfortable. A blue backlit LCD display screen will keep you updated on your workouts and includes a number of preset programs well as 9 user memory profiles to keep things interesting regardless of user level.
Other features of the Captiva – Elliptical Machine include; wireless heart rate sensors, iPod dock, Hi Fidelity speakers, 3-speed fan to keep you cool, water bottle holder and sealed bearing for smooth and quiet operation. This is all topped by a lifetime warranty on the frame, 5 year on electronic and wearable parts, and 2 years for labor. A 60-day money back guarantee is also offered for those who feel are not getting the product that they wanted.
All in all, the Captiva – Elliptical Machine & Trainer is as solid a package as any of the high end machines out there at a mid ranged price. It comes highly recommended by many who’ve used it and is pretty well designed and balanced in terms of features, durability and functionality.
