Product Description

Outfitted with Kettler's Induktions Brake System, high-quality drive components, and a sealed ball-bearing construction, the Kettler CTR 3 elliptical trainer offers a terrific way to get fit, with a design that's a significant step above most other trainers. The CTR 3 features a 50-pound flywheel that provides a comfortable, smooth-flowing, natural running or walking pattern with virtually no impact. As a result, the trainer provides a safer workout than high-impact running or kickboxing classes. Kettler's Induktions Brake System, meanwhile, offers an adaptable manual or programmable 25- to 400-watt electromagnetic resistance range. The resistance range is far larger than on most other trainers, allowing different users to select up to 75 training levels, with no friction or wear to the brake components. And thanks to the Kettler eSYS system, the trainer can make precise ergonomic, biomechanical, and electronic adjustments to different body types, helping it accommodate everyone from beginners to demanding athletes.

The CTR 3 also includes a state-of-the-art training computer that offers six adjustable hill profiles, two manual options, and two heart-rate-controlled programs to keep you motivated. Plus, the computer tracks your total distance, time, calories burned, and upper pulse limit, helping you get the most from your workout. And if that's not enough, you can connect the CTR 3 to your computer via the USB interface to download interactive software and additional preset programs from www.kettlerusa.com. Other features include a wireless Polar T34 heart rate transmitter; integrated hand pulse sensors; a sturdy, powder-coated, ergonomically formed tubing frame with transport castors and levelers; and a keypad control that makes it easy to adjust the resistance level. The CTR 3 includes a lifetime warranty on the frame, a two-year warranty on parts, and a one-year warranty on labor.

user comment Kettler HKS CTR3 Elliptical Cross Trainer The CTR3--Amateur Opinion
 
Review Date: August 11, 2009
Reviewer: G. Streib, Atlanta, Georgia United States
This is the only elliptical machine that I have ever set-up or used, so my comments are probably most useful to the inexperienced. Most importantly, this machine offers a great work out, and it is as fun to use as any piece of exercise equipment that I can imagine. The stride movements are natural, and the included programs are challenging. (This does plug in, and this is not apparent in most photos.) If you are looking for a way to get exercise, then getting one of these machines is certainly something to consider. I do also have a Kettler spinning bike. I enjoy the bike, but the elliptical has more appeal to other family members. Also, while it is easier at my house to watch TV on my bike, I do get a better work out on the elliptical. There is no logic to this, I suppose, but this is my experience.

The machine looks great. There is certainly some ownership pleasure. This is not something that you would need to hide, nor does it take up a lot of space. You can find reviews on the Web with the German engineering comments, and this is probably true. This is basically a set of metal tubes, but it all comes together very well.

This arrives at your house in a big heavy box...not even a regular elliptical user can lift it. We have some steps. The delivery guy really made an effort to help me get this in the house, and I hope that you are that lucky. With two us we still had to open the box; the core flywheel unit is still one piece--good luck. My bike is upstairs, which was no cake walk, but the flywheel is not as heavy.

Also, I found the elliptical tough to assemble. Again, it was harder than the bike. I was missing two bolts, and it took two tries to get replacements to me. This sat unfinished for about a week. I have read some say it took an hour to put one of these together. Every one of these assembly jobs is different. Thinking about it now, with parts, an hour seems possible. Things went awry for us, and I am not sure exactly why. I did go and buy a metric wrench set (about $20,00) that helped me wrap this up once the parts arrived. Maybe we lost a wrench while this was sitting around awaiting parts, maybe the included wrenches did not work well enough, not sure. There are many bolts to tighten, and the wrenches I bought really made a difference. You want everything tight.

I gave this a four out of five, and I think this is a solid investment. Do think about the logistics, though. This is a big, heavy item with many parts to put together. I can say, though, that the assembly--and the price--were worth it. This machine certainly appears it will work well for many years.

Product Description

Bring the gym into your home and enjoy an efficient, high-caliber workout with the Horizon EX-67 elliptical trainer, which works your legs as well as your upper body. Perfect for rigorous training routines, the EX-67 offers an eight-level electronic resistance system, along with a heavy 14-pound flywheel that maintains pedal and arm momentum while offering a smooth, quiet operation. More significantly from a user perspective, it offers 13 goal-oriented programs. You can choose one of three different goals (time, distance, and calories) and one of three terrains (manual, reverse train, and hills). The 2.4-by-4.8-inch orange backlit LCD screen, meanwhile, offers key workout feedback, helping you develop an effective training regimen.

Horizon employs a heavy-duty flywheel that provides continuous velocity, so as your feet move the pedals, the flywheel's momentum carries you through the complete motion. As a result, the trainer feels very natural and not at all choppy. Plus, the flywheel is extremely quiet, making the trainer ideal for home use. Horizon also applies a magnetic brake to the flywheel, creating more consistent resistance during a workout. And the instep-stacked flywheel design--where the flywheel sits above the pedals rather than in line with them--delivers a lower step-on height for easy access, along with a stride length that's longer, more natural, and more versatile regardless of the user, workout type, and fitness level. As an added benefit, the unit is smaller and shorter, so it fits in almost any room, including low-ceiling basements.

Horizon's Ergoflow elliptical geometry is built around your body, not the machine's components. The distance between the pedals have been narrowed to create a more natural walking motion, and the pivoting footpad imitates how your foot's position changes as you move forward. And a more natural, ergonomic movement means less stress on your knees, hips, and lowers back, so you enjoy longer workouts and faster results. Other details include an MP3 port with speakers and an audio-in jack, contact heart-rate grips, a built-in cooling fan, and an 18-inch stride length with Custom Stride flexibility.

Elliptical Trainer Features:

  • Resistance: Electronic
  • Resistance range: 1 to 10 resistance levels
  • Flywheel: 14-pound flywheel for fluid, quiet motion
  • Step-on height: 11.8 inches
  • Stride length: 18 inches with Custom Stride
  • Pedal spacing: 4.4 inches
  • Screen: Orange backlit LCD (2.4 x 4.8 inches)
  • Programs: 13
  • Program type: Choose 1 of 3 different goals (time, distance, calories) and 1 of 3 terrains (manual, reverse train, and hills)
  • Weight capacity: 275 pounds
  • Dimensions: 27 x 67 x 57 inches (W x H x D)
  • Weight: 157 pounds
  • Warranties: Lifetime on frame and brake; 1 year on parts and labor

About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.

Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Many elliptical trainers include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

user comment Horizon Fitness EX 67 Elliptical Trainer Solid Machine for Good Price
 
Review Date: December 7, 2009
Reviewer: J. D. Macdonald, Denver, CO
Assembly:
Although it took several hours, the instructions were fairly clear and the diagrams were helpful.

Usage:
We've had it for several days now and are impressed. Quiet operation (in our living room and it doesn't disturb other things that are going on) and solid feel (not cheap like many ellipticals in the lower price range). We also appreciate how it fits in a normal height room.

The EX-67 provides a good workout and the user interface is easy to use.

Overall, for the price, this was well worth our $ because of the good workout and practical nature of machine.
user comment Horizon Fitness EX 67 Elliptical Trainer Great for leg strengthening and cardio
 
Review Date: July 17, 2009
Reviewer: Eternal Howl, KS, USA
I was torn between getting a treadmill or an elliptical but treadmills tend to be noisier and although I would like to run, have had bilateral arthroscopic knee surgeries to remove a plica (in each knee). I have found it difficult to strengthen my legs with leg curls and I cannot get the cardio I want with just walking. I cannot run because my knees are stilling healing.

Because I live in a multi-level apartment complex, I was mindful of noise and a treadmill became out of the question. I did a lot of research into finding an elliptical in my price range. After finding that the EX-57 did not have a backlight display, I opted for the EX-67.

I have had it three days (so this is a preliminary review). My husband put it together in less than 2 hours. The instructions were fairly clear. Anyone experiencing clicking sounds is encouraged, as per the manual, to get some bike grease.

Pros: So far, I have experienced great cardio - such as you would achieve going for a jog. I am also getting leg strengthening WITHOUT the pain. Big bonus. My husband could not wait to get on it and has been using it religiously, as I have. It is compact compared to many machines you see in the gym. This machine is very quiet thanks to the magnetic resistance. Lifetime warranty on frame.

Cons: Unlike gym and more expensive models, does not have the ability to enter weight, height, age etc for more accurate calorie burn result. Cannot save your distance and progress into a profile (but you can create a spreadsheet or copy one of the pages that comes in the manual). I find the heart rate monitor is very slow for me, but my husband doesn't seem to have an issue - so mixed views there.

My particular machine came with a defect in the welding on the bottom, (and in order to get it rectified, I would have to pay a lot in the shipping back to the manufacturer to get a new frame so I am settling with what I have), which is probably a rare occurrance - but this is a review, so it is noted. I do not expect this is a typical defect as I have done my research and in this price range, this model, the guarantees/warranties, functions and stability of the machine seem to be about as good as you will get.

I was hesitant to go with a brand I was not familiar with as the gyms I used to attend were more likely to have Proform or NordicTrack, but the research I did for the personal home machines did not yield good results on these particular brands and the warranties weren't that great. I would recommend this machine or the Horizon EX-77, noting that the EX-77 is the upgraded model of this one.

The EX-67 would have got 5 stars if my particular model did not have a defect.

No more excuses for the weather stopping me from exercising!

Review Date: January 13, 2009
Reviewer: T. R. Martin, Denver, CO
I had one of the first in home elipticals and they've come quite a long way. This one was easy to put together - I did it by myself in a couple of hours. It has nice features and a smooth "ride". The only complaint I have is that the lowest level of resistance isn't very low so it's pretty hard for someone not in top shape and hard to take it easy without slowing to a snails pace. Otherwise, I like it and would recommend it.
