Octane Q37 Elliptical
Octane PRO 3700 Elliptical Review
Detailed Overview
As the first unit in the third generation of Octane’s elliptical machines, the PRO3700 was the first to introduce “converging path” handlebars. These greatly improve overall ergonomics for the ultimate in comfort and safety from strain and injury during an especially intense workout session. This machine also has an adjustable lower body, with a stride length starting at 20.5″ and stretching out to a full 24″. As this was initially designed to be a commercial machine, it is rather large and sophisticated for home use, and yet it is still highly favored by many who truly value fitness and being personally challenged from the comfort of home.

- The more expensive console offers vastly different features than the standard.
- This is a massive machine – it was originally designed for commercial use, so it is far from compact.
