Vision S7100HRT Suspension Elliptical Review

Suspension ellipticals are fantastic for those looking to make a change and hoping to yield results from a whole different type of machine. While Vision’s standard elliptical machines do not offer adjustable incline and stride length, the S7100HRT shines with plenty of customizations including these two important factors.

The blue backlit LCD screen is nothing fancy, but it will definitely keep you engaged – especially with its high variety of workout programs to choose from.
