FreeMotion 570 Interactive Elliptical Review

The FreeMotion 570 interactive elliptical is jam packed with features. Its 30lb flywheel gives a smooth and quiet ride, although the frame itself is not the strongest out there. An adjustable stride length as well as incline gives the user a personalized experience that many love. Best of all, as this is inspired by a commercially-designed elliptical, multiple members of your household can use it daily without it breaking down for quite some time. The FreeMotion 570 also includes a great sound system with built in speakers, movable arms for an upper body workout focus, and easy step resistance controls. You will be quite pleased with the physical results you start to see when using the 570 daily.
