An elliptical style exercise machine. Features a maximum weight capacity of 350 pounds and is able to give you up to 16 different resistance levels and six different programs to choose from. An internal computer will automatically adjust both the speed as well as resistance levels to give an efficient workout.
Keys Fitness advertises essentially the same machine as the Alliance A7e, the Ironman 600e, and the Ironman EVO1.
The Alliance A7e accommodates a wide range of exercisers with its 19" stride. Additionally, the pedals can be adjusted for a more customized fit. A grip pulse rate monitor helps users exercise within their target heart rate and maximize the cardiovascular benefits of exercise. Movable handlebars help people to exercise their arms and legs at the same time.
