The low-priced Reebok RL 725 is a nice basic elliptical with iFit compatibility. This trainer, which has a short warranty, is best for those who will give it light to average use.
Elliptical Hits of the Reebok RL 725 Elliptical
- Sturdy build – Some budget ellipticals are notorious wobblers, but the RL 725 is steady. However, customers report that it becomes noisy after a few months or a year of use.
- Variable pedal positions – Variable positioning lets exercisers isolate different muscles.
- Programs – The Reebok 725 has 8 built-in workout programs and is wired to read iFit cartridges, each of which provides 8 weeks of additional workouts. There are 14 resistance levels.
- 18” stride – The 18” stride is good for most short to average-height users. For a 20” stride, check out the RL 1500.
- Heart monitor – Pulse grip and chest strap heart rate monitors are included.
Elliptical Misses
- Poor warranty – Reebok’s 90-day warranty is substandard for the home fitness industry.
Overall Rating for the Reebok RL 725 Elliptical
The Reebok 725 offers a medium stride and an endless variety of workout programs with iFit. A common complaint, however, is that this model is somewhat noisy. More importantly, the RL 725 elliptical is sold with a very short warranty. A customer would be better off purchasing an elliptical from Sole Fitness or another brand with long warranties.
