Elliptical trainers are classified into two main categories. Home use elliptical trainers and commercial elliptical trainers. Commercial elliptical trainers are generally more durable and made for fitness clubs and other places where continuous use is expected.

The elliptical trainer is a complex machine that burns fat and calories with a low impact workout. It is designed to provide a smooth, seamless motion that is easier on your knees, joints and ankles than running or jogging. It is an excellent cardiovascular exercise as well.

Home elliptical machines can be purchased with a range of features from the most basic model to a commercial grade unit. If you take the reviews as evidence, apparently you get what you pay for.

Commercial elliptical machines can monitor your heart, breathing and pulse with additional items sold separately. Of course these additional items cost additional money. Most commercial elliptical machines provide not only the walking simulation for cardio, but also an upper body workout as well.

Several high quality brand names to consider when purchasing a commercial elliptical machine are: Precor, Fitnex, Star Trac and Stairmaster, just to name a few.

In any event, commercial elliptical machines are basically built stronger and more durable to withstand prolonged, continuous use. One machine may be used 20 or 30 times a day in some gyms, maybe more. They are equipped with stronger motors, better drive systems, advanced cardiac monitoring systems, softer, more fluid stepping action and even laptop or personal stereo holders, if you want to work or listen to music as you exercise.
