Octane Fitness xR4x Elliptical Trainer

Octane Fitness xR4x Elliptical Review

Octane Fitness xR4x Elliptical: With many gyms and sports centers around the world being closed down because of the pandemic, regular gym attendees have had to think outside the box a little when it comes to working out. While some have taken up outdoor pursuits like running, jogging, cycling or even skating, others have stayed put and trained within the comfort of their own homes.

Which do you prefer? There really is no wrong answer is there – as the question hints at – it’s what you prefer. Not what’s the best in the world. Maybe you don’t like the amount of pressure that is placed on your back and legs from being upright and working out on at home exercise machines or running around the local area. That’s where the exceptional compact and lightweight xR4 from Octane Fitness may be just what you are looking for.

Features

Aside from the size and overall aesthetics, the things you should be focusing on most when choosing an exercise machine are the features. Fortunately, as is the case with any Octane Fitness model, the xR4 recumbent elliptical is not lacking in the features department. This is jam-packed with some brand specialties and unique considerations that make it stand out from the crowd.

The crowded elliptical trainer marketplace does seem to get busier and busier every year. Which can make it difficult to choose the right one. It’s good that there are standout models like the xR4 that make buying decisions easier, then, isn’t it? When you consider the popular Octane features such as its PowerStroke tech, the functional comfort aspect of the seat positioning, the workout boosters the console offers and the overall lightweight and compact build it offers, you may find it hard to justify not investing in this machine.

Let’s dig a little deeper

As of August 2020, the xR4x comes with a retail price of $2,899.00

The xR4x comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame, 3 years on the parts and 1 year labor. This will ensure that you buy with confidence, knowing that Octane Fitness stands behind the elliptical build quality.

The xR4x has a stride length of 16 inches (40 cm), ideal for people measuring from 5 feet 3 inches and 5 feet 7 inches.

If you have any questions about the xR4x, Octane Fitness has a customer service team who available to answer any questions you may have. You can get in touch with them in a ‘live’ chat at www.octanefitness.com, or call 1-888-OCTANE4 or 763-757-2662, ext. 1.

Now providing a console that is very easy to use and provides all the stats and metrics in one convenient place is a must with any modern exercise machine. You should not be investing in anything that offers any less. Unless it is a bargain basement-priced item. Not something that is a couple of grand. The xR4 delivers in that department. Octane has a history of making consoles and control panels that are very simple and effective. You don’t need to be especially tech-savvy to get started with this elliptical, neither do you need to be to get the fullest out of it.

What’s more, as well as it being easy to use, it offers a range of Workout Boosters to help you intensify your training, targeting specific areas or incorporating a wide range of other exercises being the movements of the machine.

It’s not just the tech side of ellipticals and other at home training machines that Octane have a sterling reputation, the design and build side of things is what they are known for too. This is clearly evident from the design of the xR4, which is not nearly as wide and bulky or long as many other models in a similar price range.

It will blend quite easily with just about any decor wherever you place it in your home and as its platform has a step-through area it is easy to climb onto and climb off.

There is a growing collection of great, exclusive pieces of technology utilized by Octane Fitness in their range of exercise tools. PowerStroke tech is one great example of this and utilized by the xR4. This provides you with the best leg extension and best power drive, to make sure you enjoy the greatest amount of muscle engagement. There have been university studies into this design aspect. The studies show that users on the xR4 and others in the product line experience around 343% more glute activity, while producing a greater amount of mechanical power and burning roughly 23% more calories when using it compared to other models.

Once you’ve looked at about 5 or 6 similar exercise machines, it can all get a little muddled in your head. Unless you are looking at Octane Fitness products like the xR4 seated elliptical. There is not a lot about this that we don’t like, which almost immediately sets it ahead of the competition. The price might not be to everyone’s budget, but the features make it worth it.
