Enjoy an efficient full-body workout in the comfort of your own home with the Sole E25 elliptical trainer. The E25 is equipped with a heavy 19-pound flywheel and a high gear ratio not found on most comparable models. As a result, the trainer delivers an extremely fluid performance and plenty of top-end resistance, helping it function like a much more expensive trainer. The E25's power incline feature, meanwhile, boosts resistance even more while targeting different core muscle groups, adding diversity to your workout. Simply press a button to raise the incline ramp to your preferred position. The ramp angle is fully adjustable from a level plane up to 30 degrees, so you can individually target and work all major lower body muscles.
The E25 makes it easy to track your workout progress via the vibrant 6.25-inch blue LCD display, which includes windows for resistance, time, distance, calories burned, and pulse. The console also offers a number of handy amenities, including built-in speakers for listening to your iPod or MP3 player, built-in cooling fans, and a water bottle holder. And users can keep their bodies guessing thanks to the trainer's variety of workout programs, which include nine automatic programs and one customizable option.
To better encourage a comfortable workout, Sole added oversized, custom-designed foot pedals to the E25. Designed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist and sports enthusiast, the pedals feature a 2-degree inward slope, helping reduce the ankle and knee stress that's common in other elliptical machines. Additional features include a pair of stationary handlebars with built-in pulse sensors; a heart rate chest strap; and adjustable incline and resistance controls built into the arms.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Well we just recently picked this up. So far I am loving it. It took about 2-3 hours to put together late night early morning so you could probably do it faster if you're of sound mind.
The machine itself seems to be very well put together to handle my current 260lb weight with ease.
I did a lot of online research before buying this one. It is the low end of the 4 available from Sole. Most reviews say to take this one for the money or to upgrade to the E95 if you can afford it.
The incline is now power on the E25. This is an update from the previous model and appreciated.
The display screen is quite basic but it does enough to keep you informed and working.
All in all, for what is a budget elliptical machine, I am very happy with the construction and the value I have received in this purchase.
