Epic Elliptical Trainer Review
Epic is a recent entry into the elliptical trainer market. Manufactured by Icon Health and Fitness primarily for Costco stores. Originally manufactured and distributed under the Reebok brand, Icon Health and Fitness has rebranded these treadmills and elliptical trainers into the Epic and Nordic Track lines. However, the Epic machine price is 30% lower and the warranty is not as extensive as the warranty that comes with the Reebok branded line.

Consumers have many things to consider when purchasing an Elliptical. Most consumers choose Epic because of the low price point. While some of the machines in the Epic line include better elliptical features such as a power incline, console fans, a multitude of workout programs, a longer 18’ stride, however, most of the machines provide average features and parts. So, Epic ellipticals are affordable for the budget conscious, but fitness pros agree you don’t get as much machine for your money and suggest you consider purchasing an elliptical machine from either the Nordic Track or Schwinn brands. If you are interested in a commercial level machine, Pros suggest you consider the Sole line of ellipticals.
