Pro-Form is one of the more popular names on the fitness equipment market. The company produces treadmills, bikes, strength equipment, vibration technology, ab machines, accessories, and ellipticals. If you’ve been to a gym, you’ve probably seen folks loping along on an elliptical trainer. Though they can be awkward at first, the benefits of working on an elliptical trainer are many.
Pro-Form’s Crosswalk 850 is one great option for in-home elliptical training. Let’s look at the features of the product.

Crosswalk 850 offers a 22” stride in 47” of space. The machine comes with an MP3 player dock and 20 workouts with which users can customize their workouts. The 850 also features workout arms that tone the upper body while the lower body strides along on oversized pedals.
A heart rate monitor is available so that consumers can really get a read on how they’re doing. With 20 resistance levels at work in the 20 workouts, the various fitness challenges are many.
There are even some little things that are just nice touches. A high resolution display, for example, animates a figure that works out along with the user. And while this isn’t necessary, of course, it shows an attention to detail on the part of Pro-Form.

According to the Pro-Form website, the Crosswalk 850 is a club-quality machine in half the space. This ratio makes the Crosswalk 850 a little more suited to in-home use than many ellipticals, which can be long, bulky, and cumbersome.
Whether one wants to lose weight, or simply enhance fitness, elliptical training is a great way to move forward. In the home or at the gym, a machine like the Crosswalk 850 will provide low impact work that promotes both cardiovascular endurance and strength development for a whole-body workout.
