Konichiwa!

As Winnie the Pooh would say, today is a blustery, blustery day. The wind is knocking sticks and branches against my house. It’s a little difficult to concentrate, but I’ll press on for the sake of my readers. Today I bring you a Schwinn 438 Elliptical Trainer Review! Schwinn has a lot of really huge hits and a couple minor misses in it’s elliptical trainer lineup. Read on to find out if the Schwinn 438 is worth buying or should be left blowin’ in the wind.

The Schwinn 438 is the cream of Schwinn’s elliptical trainer crop and has gone to great lengths to justify the just under a thousand dollar price tag for this elliptical. Among the best features of the Schwinn 438 is a built in cooling fan. If you plan on long, intense workouts you’re going to appreciate the built in cooling fan, if you stay cooler and combine that with excellent hydration you’re going to be able to last longer during workouts. Longer workouts will burn more calories, giving you more results.

Lower end elliptical trainers tend to use friction based systems to provide resistance for their elliptical trainers. The Schwinn 438 Elliptical is designed with an ECB or eddy current brake system that delivers the smoothest possible motion. Smooth resistance motion makes working out on elliptical trainers significantly less stressful on your body and is going to increase the longevity of your elliptical machine.

I and about a hundred other people who have used the Schwinn have reported being extremely satisfied with the strong, stable frame of the Schwinn 438 Elliptical Trainer. Poorly constructed frames wobble, disturb a user’s workout, and break down extremely quickly. The Schwinn 438 owes it’s extremely stable frame to top quality construction materials and years of design and innovation experience. If you buy the Schwinn 438 Elliptical it’s going to last for years.

There aren’t any major drawbacks to the Schwinn 438 Elliptical Trainer. The only thing I feel obligated to warn my readers about is putting this thing together. If you’re not mechanically inclined it can get a little difficult and take a few hours to put together. If you take it out of the box and the task looks daunting you might want to consider hiring a professional to put it together. Most home visits cost anywhere from $75 to $150 bucks. Schwinn is always happy to direct people towards authorized service techs that won’t void your warranty. The excellent design and low price have earned the Schwinn 438 Elliptical 5 stars out of 5!
