Hammer Crosstech XTR
Fitness beginners in the elliptical trainer segment do not always have it easy. A piece of equipment in the lower price segment does not have enough technical features to inspire users equally. One thing is clear: if you want a low-priced product, you have to cut back.

Hammer Ellyptech CT6
Within Hammer’s Ellyptech model range, the CT6 has the most extensive range of equipment. In contrast to the CT3 and CT5, the computer takes over the load control, which is accordingly more extensive and has more than just basic functions. In addition, the manufacturer has given the elliptical trainer 16 load levels – twice as many as its siblings.
The elliptical can collect extra factors through its selection of training programs, including heart rate controlled programs. The fact that you can see all seven measured values on the display at the same time could also prove to be a practical advantage. On the other hand, the heart rate measurement looks a bit meager, because the trainer only uses the somewhat less accurate hand pulse measurement by sensors built into the handles. Telemetric chest straps, which generally offer somewhat more accuracy, cannot be used. This circumstance does not seem to have a significant influence on the satisfaction of the users, because the device is nevertheless usually given the full score by the buyers. Only the operation of the computer is not perceived as intuitive by everyone, but the user manual proves to be quite helpful here.
Features: ✔️ Dimensions of 119 x 73 x 161 cm,✔️ Weight of approx. 40 kg,✔️ max user weight of 120 kg,✔️ 8 fitness programs (mountain and valley profiles),✔️ Manual training program,✔️ 4 pulse controlled training programs,✔️ Comfortable pulse monitoring via hand pulse sensors,✔️ 30 cm stride length,✔️ 16 kg flywheel weight

Hammer Ellyptech CT5
The Ellyptech CT5 is a typical beginner elliptical trainer. It is not so expensive and in addition, it has the most important functions that are needed to build up endurance or burn fat.
Being fit and in shape not only makes you feel good about yourself, but you also do something good for your body. If you want to train, you can take the way to the local gym, or you can grab a home trainer. Hammer has a rather inexpensive model in its program, an elliptical trainer that goes by the name Ellyptech CT5.
The CT5 appears very compact at first sight. This is mainly due to the dimensions of 119 x 73 x 161 cm. This makes it ideal if you only have a small apartment and still want to train at home. In addition, it appears overall stable and robust.
For tall people, from 1.95 m the Hammer Ellyptech CT5 is less suitable. It can happen that the knees come into contact with the handlebars during the movement.
However, it is ideal for small persons. Here, the grip bars and the pedals have been adjusted just right. It is really perfect for single households with a small apartment.

Finnlo E-Glide SR
The Finnlo E-Glide elliptical trainer provides a pleasant training run, which is very similar to normal jogging. With a total of 20kg flywheel mass, a round and clean motion sequence is pre-programmed.

This strategic orientation was one of the decisive factors for the steady growth and today’s success.
Some of the company’s innovations have caused quite a stir since its foundation. In 1989, for example, the first fillable plastic dumbbells were presented. In the following years a patented on-board computer for rowing machines and fitness equipment with integrated radio.
