Proxima Senator

Advantages: Very good build quality. The manufacturer did not save on materials for sure.

Disadvantages: There is no Russian language. The heart rate sensor shows false information.

Comment: The simulator is certainly expensive, as for home use, but I have a large family, so I decided to take it with a margin, and so that it would last for a long time. In the process of choosing, I tried many simulators of a similar level. In this instance, some non-fundamental points upset. For example, there is no Russian language in the computer. It is clear that the model is considered a novelty, but as far as I know, other Proxima simulators are not Russified, perhaps this is such a strange company policy. In addition, heart rate sensors noticeably underestimate the real heart rate. This is also a common problem, but it seems to me that for that kind of money it was possible to equip the simulator with a chest strap, they are guaranteed to transmit data of almost medical accuracy. Otherwise, I have no comments. Excellent build, good expensive plastic and rubber. Even immediately after unpacking, the smell of bad plastic, characteristic of cheap technology, was not felt. The simulator works daily, but this did not affect its performance in any way. Everyone has long been accustomed to the English language, and the controls are logical and understandable. It works quietly and smoothly, as it should be for a top model. In general, I am happy with the choice and would not hesitate to repeat the purchase.

Advantages: clever design, training comfort

Disadvantages: no

Comment: Going to the gym is especially difficult, so the question arose about buying a simulator home. My husband and I settled on the Senator model. Ordered on the Internet, assembled and installed independently. Basically, functions with a head. All data during training is displayed on the screen, there is a special holder for a bottle of water and many other options and devices that I have not yet fully explored. A very important point is the presence of a built-in generator. The simulator does not need to be connected to the network all the time.

Advantages: Good build quality, everything is securely fastened. Comfortable simulator, thanks to the front flywheel positioning of the legs is comfortable, nothing interferes. There are many training programs, including the pulse-dependent one, so it is not difficult to properly load the cardio system.

Disadvantages: No.

Comment: We are satisfied with the purchase, the simulator is of high quality, convenient and easy to use, for half a year there were no problems with it!

Advantages: No backlash, no creaks. Doesn't shake from my 100 kg, etc.

Disadvantages: No

Comment: I bought it a year ago, having carefully studied the reviews on the market. The device is not cheap, I didn't want to make a mistake with the choice. We use the whole family. We have never regretted the choice. Many thanks to everyone who left feedback here. Without them, I probably would not have dared to buy. The only moment that must be taken into account when purchasing such a device is the presence of good natural ventilation, or inflows.

If the budget allows, then this model is definitely worth taking! I installed it in the gym at my recreation center. Despite the significant daily load, the simulator has never failed in six months. Adjusting the loads allows you to work out all muscle groups well. The main control keys are located on the handles, which allows you to change the resistance of the simulator right during training. The bed is made of high quality steel. I would like to point out that the electrical components are well polished. Insulation breakdowns are sometimes observed in one more of my simulators. There is no such nonsense in the Senator. Of the amenities, I also want to note a holder for a container with water and several USB ports.

Advantages: high reliability, quiet, no jerking

Disadvantages: expensive, bulky

Comment: I took the elliptical trainer with the expectation of its reliability, so as not to let it down and adequately endure all my "bullying", and I weigh 117kg! Active handles are a cool solution - you can change the load without interrupting your studies. The variable-position pedals are not only very comfortable, but also allow you to pump different muscles. Additional buns include a holder for mobile devices, slots for recharging them and a cup holder.

Advantages: swivel joints with bearings

Disadvantages: everything suits me

Comment: I bought it on the advice of a friend. They brought it under the threshold, but had to install it myself. The kit included instructions, I figured it out without any problems. There are no questions about the quality of workmanship. All made of good metal and plastic, fit perfectly and nothing dangles. Very comfortable platforms, legs do not strive to slip even at the highest intensity of training. There are built-in programs. Workout information is displayed, if desired, you can connect your favorite gadget via usb.

Advantages: so far, there are no complaints about quality

Disadvantages: price above average, weight

Comment: I took the simulator from a friend in perfect condition. It is comfortable to practice, I especially like the material from which the pedals are made. It is soft enough, the foot does not get tired even in uncomfortable shoes. A very useful solution was the adjustment buttons on the handles.With their help, I can change load modes without interrupting my workout. There are USB ports, however, I hardly use them, but someone may come in handy. All training data (time, calories, training type, etc.) are displayed.

Advantages: This simulator instills confidence that everything will be fine with it. Attention to detail is felt. It is really pleasant to practice on it.

Disadvantages: I think it was possible to include a chest wireless heart rate sensor in the package, all the same the price is significant.

Comment: The decision to buy this particular ellipsoid was taken very hard. All the same, there are a lot of good reviews on the Internet about models that are 2 times cheaper. Everything was decided after testing in the store. Only the opportunity to compare showed that the price for this simulator was not taken from the ceiling. I must say right away that if you have little space, then it is better to choose a more compact device. Apart from the technical part, I really like its design, it is dynamic, as if calling you to study. at the moment we have been using the product for almost six months, during which time the ellipse has shown itself only from the good side. Creaks, backlashes, clicks are absent at all. Biomechanics at the highest level, training takes place naturally, joints are not overly stressed. By the way, the pedals have a special shock-absorbing coating, from which the feeling while running is simply great. There are a lot of training programs in the computer, I easily found a suitable one. The load is conveniently adjusted using active handles. Although the computer is not Russified, the control is very logical and understandable, I figured it out in about 30 minutes. For all the time I have never regretted that I bought this particular simulator.

Advantages: Just an excellent simulator with a huge resource and very wide capabilities.

Disadvantages: has a solid mass, you have to sweat. Well, the price, of course, was embarrassing, there was a great temptation to buy a cheaper model.

Comment: I bought it for the New Year's promotion, with a discount. I decided on this particular model, because I love really reliable and high-quality things. In addition, my weight is over 100 kilograms, so there were doubts that miniature simulators would successfully cope with such a load for a long time. Immediately after installation, it became clear that the ellipsoid is powerful and reliable. The first trainings made me very happy, but I had to deal with some aspects of management. It is very good that it is possible to change the angle of the pedals. At first I did not appreciate this possibility, but then I realized that with the help of the angle you can use muscles that are practically not used in normal conditions. I really like the ability to change the load using active handles. A heavy flywheel certainly has its advantages. The movement is smooth, the legs work easily. The engineers paid a lot of attention to detail, there is a holder for a phone or tablet, a bottle holder, even a connector for charging gadgets. In general, if you also like reliable and high-quality things, then you should like this model.
