Ohiyo!
You know, I’m really not sure what goes on in the heads of the fine folks at Amazon.com. Don’t get me wrong, I love them and shop on their site all the time. But sometimes they knock prices down to some almost insane levels. I guess the power of their website and the sheer volume of sales they do allows them to get the lowest prices around and they want to make sure their customers get to take advantage of that power…but still, sometimes they drop prices down a bit too low! Of course, the 10 or so readers who wrote in with this particual elliptical sale had no problem with the ultra low price for a commercial elliptical machine.
In this case, I’m talking about what has to be one of the best deals of all time for a commercial grade elliptical. The Fitnex E70 elliptical. The Fitnex equipment comes out of the same factory which produces the Body Solid gyms, which gives the same lifetime parts warranty on all the Body Solid equipment and has been producing fitness equipment for more than 30 years now.
I reviewed the original Fitnex E70 Elliptical about 2 years ago, back when I first started writing for this website. I have to say that even after two years I am still completely blown away by this machine. Especially now that it is priced at the amazing price of $1599. If the Fitnex had been priced this low back when I was putting together the 2007/2008 Ichi-Ban Best Buy Awards for Ellipticals then it would have received the top award and recommendation, hands down. If my wife’s Uncle Chris wasn’t so stubborn, this would be the elliptical I’d be telling him to pick up now…instead, he’s stuck with a malfunctioning Nordic Track!
If you’ve ever wanted to buy a commercial elliptical and get the same quality work outs you get at the gym on machines from Precor and Life Fitness, then you absolutely need to check out the Fitnex E70. Up until recently, the E70 has been priced anywhere from $1999 to $2299, and it was worth it at those higher prices.
With its longer frame and heavier weight, the Fitnex E70 gives you the smoothest elliptical workout this side of a Matrix E5X. Getting on an E70 elliptical is like ice skating…well, without all the falling down. Unfortunately for the comepetitors of Fitnex, with the E70 priced at under $1600, there is absolutely nothing else out there that even comes close in terms of quality, stability, stride or natural, comfortable elliptical feels. Fitnex allowing Amazon to drop the price down this low, even for a short period, is sort of like having the chance to buy a Mercedes S-Class for $10,000.
In fact, I haven’t even mentioned the best part about the Fitnex E70 Elliptical. Not only is it the best elliptical now priced at under $2000 (and under $1600). Not only is it the best feeling elliptical under $2000. Not only does it look snazzy. But it is also the only quality elliptical with a lifetime parts warranty for in home use. That’s right, since this is actually a commercial quality elliptical, Fitnex gives residential customers a lifetime parts warranty for in home use.
Almost as cool as the lifetime parts warranty is that Amazon is also offering free shipping and No Sales Tax on the Fitnex E70 elliptical.
The Fitnex E70 Elliptical is the perfect and only choice for those of you who have been spoiled by the smooth, sturdy and wonderful workouts you get at your local gym on Precor or Life Fitness ellipticals…and right now you can also save more than 50% off of those Precor prices. I have no clue how long the sale is going to be going on, so check it out now before it is too late.

I’m a 6’0″ guy and am interested in the Fitnex E70 and the Sole E55. What is the stride length of the Fitnex? Is it close to the 20″ of the Sole?
