Reebok RL 1500 Elliptical Trainer Review: Indistinguishable From The Rest Of The Pack
Recently announced from Icon Fitness, comes the Reebok RL 1500 Elliptical Trainer. Icon also makes Nordic Track, Proform, Weslo, Image, and Healthrider ellipticals. With a MSRP of $1999, but a street price of around half of that, experts agree this machine is just average. Icon Fitness is known on the street for using cheap parts and offering a limited warranty. When the Reebok RL 1500 Elliptical Trainer is compared to machines in the same MSRP range, it fails to stand out from the other machines in the pack.
Reviewers and fitness experts both comment that the Reebok RL 1500 Elliptical is a perfectly acceptable trainer when used as a home machine to tone and strengthen core and leg muscles during a traditional workout routine.

Features Nicely Packaged
The Reebok RL 1500 Elliptical Trainer features include a very comfortable 20” stride length, ClearView 6 window backlit LED display, grip pulse, wireless HRC, a higher profile console and a cooling fan.
1-Touch Resistance
With the touch of a button on the Reebok RL 1500 Elliptical Trainer, you can change the level of difficulty in your resistance and workout programs. Sporting 12 resistance levels and 15 pre-programmed (10 smart courses, 2 heart rate, and 3 calorie rate) exercise programs there is quite a bit of variety to change up your workout. Some elliptical machine reviews mention the 30 minute time limit on the programs are a drawback, but the multiple programs do allow a variety of users to workout on the machine without much setup time to get started.
Light Weight Machine
With a puny machine weight of 220 lbs., yet suggesting a maximum user weight of 330 lbs., does not make sense. Experts suggest this is not the machine for the larger user. If a larger consumer uses the Reebok RL 1500 Elliptical Trainer the equipment machine may be unstable, which would make for an uncomfortable and untrustworthy workout. However, lighter consumers have reported the Reebok RL 1500 Elliptical Trainer has a solid ergonomic feel, but does feel slightly jerky and they have heard a whirring noise when the machine is in motion.
And the Decision Is
Lacking in quality construction and providing the same benefits as other machines, experts and fitness pros alike agree there are better machines in this price category.
