For people (mainly men) who weigh over 100 kilograms, the options for elliptical machines are not many. Of course, there are ellipticals that can handle a weight of 110 or even 130 kilograms, but the feeling you get is not always impressive - for example, when you are asked to pay around 900 euros for a machine with a one-year warranty and a 7-kilogram disc. If you want to be sure that the money you will spend will be worth it, and that you will have the best possible workout for your needs, the options are not many.

The Toorx ERX-300 is perhaps the best rear-wheel elliptical machine currently available on the market. It is definitely the heaviest, it has probably the deepest stride, it has a completely smooth motion (unlike some other flashy names where the disc "jumps"), and it is sturdy.

As for its negatives, its appearance (a matter of taste, of course) and its size are considered drawbacks, especially if you want to place it in a smaller room.

Personally, the Toorx did not satisfy me, as the angle of the handles did not suit my movement, resulting in my wrists getting tired. (Imagine being asked to throw a punch and your clenched fist being at an angle).

Obviously, with so many positive reviews that this machine receives, other users did not encounter the same problem. Therefore, I highly recommend prospective buyers to try it out at an exhibition, keeping this specific detail in mind.

I was torn between a treadmill and an elliptical, but I ultimately chose the latter since I live in an apartment and it is relatively quiet, so I don't have to worry about disturbing anyone (like on a treadmill). This way, I can exercise at 5 in the morning if I want to.
It is a milder exercise compared to running and more intense than walking (somewhere in between the two). To break a sweat, you need to have a fairly intense movement, but it protects your knees and joints compared to running.
This particular elliptical has a sturdy and high-quality construction, taking up a decent amount of space, but less than a treadmill.
As for the Bluetooth, I haven't found it useful anywhere so far and I don't consider it necessary. BEWARE, I RECOMMEND IGNORING THE ICONSOLE-KINOMAP APPS BECAUSE WHEN THEY CONNECT, THEY COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE ELLIPTICAL SCREEN AND GAIN FULL CONTROL OF THE MACHINE (AT FIRST, I HAD A MILD PANIC ATTACK THINKING IT WAS BROKEN).
Tall users with a height of 1.85 and above will need to remove the cup holder to avoid hitting their knees during exercise.
Sometimes, when I place my phone on the special holder, the heart rate measurement activates on its own.. it is obviously affected by radiation.
After a year of intensive use, a small plastic piece (the base of the screw) broke, but the entire right plastic pedal was replaced, costing €15 (plus €5 for shipping) with good service from the dealership (Leos).
Definitely get it assembled by the official dealership for €30, don't try to do it yourself.
I highly recommend it for quiet and low-impact daily aerobic exercise at home.
After two years of use, everything is still good, just had to tighten the screws and spray silicone spray on the joints... although in the end, I believe that running outdoors is more effective for weight loss and more enjoyable compared to using the elliptical at home.

Fantastic machine!!
After a lot of searching, I ended up with this excellent elliptical, which, for its features, has a very good price compared to similar products from more well-known companies.
When I used it for the first time, I thought it was professional and honestly, it has nothing to envy from those in the gyms...
Its size is tall due to the 16-kilogram disc, so it's logical.
Very stable, sturdy, and quiet.
Very good stride.
It also has the option to connect via Bluetooth with a special program for online training and "competition" with others connected to the same program, which, of course, you can choose to purchase separately.
I highly recommend it!!

P.S. After more than a year of use, I have to say that for its price especially, there is nothing better!!
With two people in the house using it 2-3 times a week each (and one of them is a man), I have to say that it continues to be like new, meaning it remains completely silent and its plastics are completely intact and unaffected by any use.
I now recommend it with closed eyes!
