They’ve thought of everything, there’s the large comfortable seat to ease pressure that adjusts to a height suitable for someone of 6’6″ to workout. Then there’s the hand grip pulse monitor to see heart rate during your workout.

    The 16 levels of resistance are delivered to the flywheel magnetically. Any change in resistance is smooth and you’ll just feel the ride getting harder as you pedal.

The higher levels are good for a more strength workouts or a hill which you can control or automatically changed as part of an exercise program.

    There are a choice of 24 exercise programs. Not even commercial bikes have this many. Many of the programs are designed to simulate a different course like the hill program. This gives you a moderate increase in intensity followed by a descent at the midpoint. There are also programs called rolling, valleys, ramps, precipice and more.

    For those serious about improving their fitness then the heart rate programs are for you. You type in your age then the bike calculates your maximum heart rate. You set the program so you exercise at a percentage of your maximum heart rate like 55% up to 85%. The resistance changes to keep your heart rate at this level measured by the heart rate pulse grips.

    Smooth Agile DMT EllipticalThe Smooth Agile DMT Elliptical represents the best elliptical Smooth Fitness do and is like commercial ellipticals in every way except price. It has many commercial elliptical features and more. No other elliptical gives the whole body a workout with such possible variation than this one.

    Features

    • Dynamic motion technology with 12 motion levels and 20 levels of resistance for truly effective variable workouts
    • Adjust the controls without taking your hands off the handle bars with touch thumb control
    • Built in 3 speed adjustable fan & ipod docking station and speakers
    • Shock absorbing foot pedals pivot eliminating stresses on the lower leg and foot

    Smooth Agile DMT Elliptical review

    The Smooth Agile DMT is a powerhouse of an elliptical. Smooth Fitness have been in the business for over 25 years and the Agile DMT is the culmination of all the expertise and experience. The DMT range are the only ellipticals that have dynamic motion technology. This is a biomechanical adjustment to how the body is positioned down to 12 different levels giving you a very varied workout which keeps the muscles guessing for maximum results.

    There are 20 levels of resistance. These are delivered smoothly to the flywheel magnetically. Any change is subtle in transition but can still be felt. The lower levels are good for a beginner or those wanting a workout at low intensity. The higher levels are a challenge even for experienced elliptical users and could also give a real strength type workout.

    There are 9 exercise programs most of which can be fully customized to give you a great variety of workouts tailored to the particular results you’re after. You’ll probably start of with the manual program to get a feel of the machine where you can change the settings as you go. Then you may want to move onto a fat burning program which is a warm up followed by a low intensity fat burning routine then a cool down.

    The endurance program is a great one to test your fitness level as it starts off gently and gradually builds the intensity, see how long you can last then cool down as part of the program. The heart rate control program adjusts the resistance to maintain your rate at a predetermined level (wireless chest strap included). This is the pinnacle of getting the maximum results from the effort you put in. This is good for any age as it based on your resting heart rate, this is one worth investigating and this elliptical does it.

    For those who like the little luxuries you find in commercial ellipticals the Smooth Agile DMT has a 3 speed adjustable fan. Like your own ipod speaker system on the commercial elliptical? This one has one built in too. What commercial ellipticals don’t have are the 12 dynamic motion levels and 20 levels of resistance. So they can’t give you variety or the ability to give your body such a beneficial workout in so little time.

    Anyone concerned about the build should be relieved when to hear that it can take a user capacity of 400 lbs. The solidly built elliptical has a long warranty to back this up. The frame is made using heavy gauge steel and will take some serious long term daily use if required. The Smooth Agile DMT is a popular elliptical, it’s Smooth Fitness’ best and we’re confident you’ll see it that way too.

    Smooth Agile DMT X2 Elliptical review

    Smooth Fitness have been in the fitness equipment business for over 25 years. They’ve used all their expertise and fitness know how to create the Agile DMT X2 Elliptical. Dynamic motion control is part of this technology and comes in 12 levels. You adjust these levels to change the motion of your body during your workout giving your muscles a different challenge every time.

    The 16 levels of resistance are spaced just right. The early levels are good for a beginner or as a warm up. The higher levels are a real challenge even for experienced users or those wanting a strength orientated ride. The changes between levels are smooth as the resistance is applied magnetically. This can be changed by the user or can automatically within an exercise program.

    For those who like to just get on their elliptical and ride there is a manual program which does just that. If you fancy a varied workout or have particular fitness aims then you can choose a program to suit. The fat burning program is designed to give you a low intensity workout to burn the calories.

For those who appreciate the fan or ipod speakers on commercial ellipticals the Smooth Agile has it too.

    Smooth Agile DMT X1 EllipticalThe Smooth Agile range of ellipticals are the next generation of fitness equipment. With the Smooth Agiles you have the perfectly designed elliptical that lets you workout totally in tune with the natural movements of the body. This helps you to get maximum results for the effort you put in.

    Features

    • Dynamic motion technology with 12 motion levels and 16 levels of resistance to challenge the body
    • Adjust the controls without taking your hands off the handle bars with touch thumb control
    • Built in 3 speed adjustable fan
    • Built to last with heavy gauge steel frame and long warranty

    Smooth Agile DMT X1 Elliptical review

    The Smooth DMT X1 has dynamic motion to 12 levels. The levels change the angles of the pedals so the muscles are used in a every slightly different way. This is based on the latest fitness research that says for maximum results you should always keep the muscles guessing otherwise they adapt. This elliptical does exactly that.

    The pedals are on pivots so the lower leg is always moving in a natural way. Regular ellipticals can cause stresses and aches on particular muscles as the feet are rigid. The Smooth Agile DMT X1 enables your lower leg to move in a natural circular motion. This helps the entire leg and buttocks get a good workout.

    There are 16 levels of resistance applied to the flywheel magnetically. When the resistance is altered there are no sudden jerky movements, the transition is smooth. Electronic operation means the resistance can be changed at the touch of a button or automatically as part of an exercise program. The lower levels are perfect for the beginner while the higher levels will give an experience user a nice challenge.

    The 9 workout programs mean you’ll always have some variety for your workouts and some are designed for particular fitness goals. One is a fat burning program where the intensity is set low so you can workout at your peak aerobic level to burn calories. The strength program will give your upper and lower body definition and shaping. The interval program combines fat burning and strength workouts.

    The Smooth Agile DMT X1 has proven a popular elliptical. The aspect every user is agreed upon is that it gives a great workout. It’s clearly something Smooth Fitness have got spot on with the Agile ellipticals. You should also feel assured that the unit is built to last, many users report years of daily use and the unit is still going strong. Overall we recommend the DMT X1 based on so many good experiences and features.

    Smooth CE 3.7 Elliptical TrainerWith the Smooth CE 3.7 Elliptical you’re getting very close to commercial ellipticals but for the home and at a home price.

    Smooth CE 3.7 Elliptical Trainer review

    This Smooth Elliptical Trainer gives you “agile muscle performance”. Regular ellipticals move in a back and forth motion. This Smooth Elliptical moves in a circular motion which means that far more muscles in the lower leg and body get a workout. Rather than just the front and back of the leg you’ll find your whole thigh, buttocks and lower leg will get worked.

    The Smooth 3.7 Elliptical can start in manual mode where you start riding and adjust the resistance as you please. Or choose from a range of 9 workout programs many of them customizable to give a variety to your workout. Some are designed to achieve specific goals like the fat burning program. The program takes you through a warm up and then a fat burning routine to get rid of those calories. The program ends with a cool down and your workout is done.

    Then there’s the interval program which is suitable for those who want better fitness and some muscular definition. It does this by mixing periods of low and high intensity workout intervals. There is a program to suit everyone and what’s more up to 9 users settings can be stored so it can remember your personal details and changes as you get onto the elliptical.

    The resistance goes up to 16 levels and is delivered electromagnetically. This means a push of a button changes it or the program depending on your selection. While working out the change is smooth and silent, you will simply have a harder ride. This is gentle at the lower levels and is challenging at the upper end.

    Combine these features with the quality of the build and how long the equipment lasts and you have a great in home elliptical that replaces the need for the local gym. The long warranty protects you which is in home labor for 2 years. This is an elliptical which is recommended everywhere especially by it’s users.

    Smooth Fitness have been selling fitness equipment for over 25 years and over that time they have built up extensive knowledge and expertise. They’ve stayed at the forefront of fitness equipment technology and the Smooth CE 2.1 is an example of that. They have managed to include many features you find in ellipticals at a far higher price.

    The Smooth CE 2.1 has electromagnetic brakes so when the resistance is applied at whatever level any change is gradual and smooth. There are no sudden movements and the resistance levels are predictable but still hard enough at the high levels to give a good challenging workout. The foot pedals pivot to your foot so there are no unnatural movements allowing you to concentrate on the workout with no aches and pains afterwards.

    The 9 workout programs are varied and are a great way to maintain motivation in your fitness routine. Program 3 is a target calorie workout. You enter the amount of calories you want to burn and you exercise while seeing your target getting lower at every stride. Program 6 as an interval workout which adjusts the intensity of you workout at regular intervals. This is great for those who want fat burning, toning and shaping in the same workout. The other 6 are just as individual and are a real feature of this elliptical.

    While using these programs the console is nice, big and clear giving you all the information of your progress as you go including heart rate. Overall with it’s strong build and long warranty which includes 2 years in home labor this elliptical packs a strong punch at this price range. The Smooth CE 2.1 is a great elliptical and will suit a variety of fitness levels.
