Scifit is a global fitness company headquartered in the UK. It specializes in designing high-quality “Made in the USA” products that target newer  to mid-level athletes, seniors, and people in need of physical rehabilitation. Since these machines have a shorter gait, they’re more likely to be selected by women than by men.

Some special features of Scifit ellipticals include forward and reverse motion, self-generating power, and an incredible 200 levels of resistance.

Features of Scifit Elliptical Trainers

  • Varied programming – Hill programs, strength programs, and others are built into the machine. Additionally, an optional Fit Key guides users through personal training programs.
  • Durability – Scifit products are made of high quality components, not cheap plastic parts. For example, the SXT7000 weighs 275 pounds and has a user weight capacity of 425 pounds.
  • Orthopedic pedals – Special cushioning whisks heat away from “hot spots” and helps keep feet comfortable during long workouts. Additionally, the pedals rotate to follow natural body motion.
  • Various power options – Scifit ellipticals can be powered with optional adaptors or through a combination of user-generated power and a backup battery.
  • Reverse stride – With a reverse stride, people can alternate movement every 30 seconds or so and keep their muscles constantly challenged.
  • Compact size – Scifit ellipticals have small footprints (about 60”x30”) for residential use.
  • Upper body exercise – Movable handlebars give users the option of exercising their arms and legs at the same time.
  • Good warranty – Customers in Canada, the US, and the UK get three years of coverage on parts and a year of labor.

Overall Rating for Scifit Ellipticals

Scifit, a British company, makes high-quality home ellipticals in the USA. Scifit crosstrainers offer great ergonomics, highly varied programming, and orthopedic cushioning. An adjustable stride, a longer warranty or lower MSRP, and audiovisual entertainment options would make this a five-star brand.

Some top competitors for higher-end ellipticals include Landice and Precor.
