Octane Q37 Elliptical Review

The Octane Q37 contains some majorly innovative features that will knock your tube socks off. Start with the ArmBlaster, which ramps up the resistance only in the handlebars, bringing more strength and focus to your upper body. The 1.8” foot pedal distance also tends to be ideal for most body types, especially women who experience hip and knee strain with too great of a distance. Finally, the X-Mode technology gets you going through various movements that utilize the entire physique, thus yielding greater results.

• Warranty is decent, but unimpressive
• Customer service reports are inconsistent
