Octane Q47 Elliptical Review

The Octane Q47 features converging handlebars, which provide each user with a more intense workout without compromising comfort. Getting your heart rate up much faster than straight handlebars, you will really feel the difference. The unit also extends to a full 26-inch stride, which simulates the movements of running without ever having to leave the pedals. The ergonomics on the Q47 are beyond impressive, making it a current favorite with both professional trainers and home gym users.

Our Least Favorite Features

A few downsides to the Octane Q47:

• The weight limit on this machine is 300 lbs, but the unit itself is only 290 lbs – is it really durable enough for larger users?
• The Q47 is newer to the fitness market, so there haven’t been any long-term user experiences yet to determine whether it still performs well several years in.

The Bottom Line

The Octane Q47 is celebrated by fitness experts as truly providing better muscle activity via its genuine adjustable stride. Experience the feeling and physical results of running without ever having to leave the machine – its top rated ergonomic design will leave your body challenged and toned without an increased risk of stress or injury. You will be impressed with this machine’s adjustability and advanced electronics, as it truly does justify its asking price. While this machine is a newer elliptical, you will be taking a bit of a risk to its long-term durability, as its longevity has yet to be tested – however, many who are regarded in the fitness world agree that Octane produces effective, quality machines you can rely on.
