Elliptical Machine Review: How we go about writing our many elliptical reviews:

Conducting an  elliptical machine review can be an ardous process. Before we get started on our elliptical reviews, we gather a list of all the elliptical machines that are currently available in the marketplace. From their, we gather a synopsis of machines from the manufacturer's literature. This includes making a note of various features such as the elliptical strides, the presence of adjustable peddles and dual action bars.

The next part of our elliptical machine review is to verify the features presented by the manufacturer. This process is not as much to determine accuracy as it is to get a general feel of the various elliptical crosstrainers. In particular, our testers start making a note of what to pay attention to when they begin their interviews and in-depth testing, which will be the exhaustive part of our elliptical machine review.

In addition to noting the features, our elliptical machine review also compile opinions about different elliptical exercisers from industry periodicals, feedback from various websites, gym managers, and individual testers. We feel that using such a broad range of sources will give more credibility to our elliptical reviews.

Finally, the last phase of our elliptical machine review process is to compile the data of each elliptical crosstrainer into a database. Such a repository is not only useful for publishing the elliptical machine's results, it will also help you monitor improvements from one version to the next. From this compilation, we will generate a final score which will complete the testing phase of our elliptical reviews. This score is what we use to compare one elliptical trainer to another. While we don't publish this numerical score, we use it to determine our opinions, thoughts, and concerns on an elliptical machine, which we do publish.
