HSF HSF-609T

The HSF brand elliptical trainer can be classified as a home solution bridging the middle and advanced class. This model features a front-positioned flywheel weighing 10 kg and an electromagnetic resistance system. The latter allows for flexible load adjustment (16 settings selectable on the control panel) and operates very quietly. The HSF HSF-609T elliptical is moderately sized (173x160x63 cm) and has a substantial weight (59 kg).

At the same time, it is equipped with transport wheels for easier movement around the apartment and is ready for serious loads, capable of supporting users weighing up to 130 kg. The model's versatility is partly confirmed by a fairly long stride length of 48 cm, plus it's worth noting that the distance between the pedals (Q-factor) is 20 cm, which increases impact on leg joints during workouts.

The onboard computer of the elliptical trainer supports a set of two dozen workout programs, including heart rate-dependent modes where the electronics adjust intensity based on your pulse readings (HR sensors are located on separate fixed handles near the display). Other noteworthy features include an informative screen displaying a workout diagram and all the basic session parameters, including time and distance.
