The development of the
elliptical trainer has
transformed the fitness
centers and gyms across
the country. The ability to
do a full body workout
with little or on impact
allows you to burn more
calories by exercising a
larger group of muscles
on your body. Elliptical
trainers are in many
cases replacing treadmills
in local gyms and YMCA’s.
When elliptical trainers
first appeared the feel of
the largest complaint came in the form of knee
discomfort. Almost the entire body motion on an elliptical
trainer is through the knee. If you have a preexisting knee
injury then the use of an elliptical trainer was at times
uncomfortable.  Some people would even warm up their
knees on a treadmill prior to climbing on an elliptical
trainer. However if you talk to most elliptical trainer users
you will find very few complaints. One additional problem
comes from users that lean to far forward while using an
elliptical machine. This puts undue strain on the back
leading to cramps or post exercise back pain. Correct
posture while using any piece of fitness equipment is
important and this is especially true when using any
cross trainer.  Cybex has created a new cross trainer
called the Arch Trainer that seeks to change the
fundamental motion used in most ellipticals.

The Cybex Arc Trainer comes in several models all of
which are considered commercial grade fitness
equipment. They are priced accordingly with even the in
home models exceeding $4000.00. Most people first
come in contact with the Cybex Arc Trainer in their local
fitness center or gym. Its flywheel is located at the front of
the arc trainer just like the older Cybex elliptical trainers.
The location of the pedals appears to be located slightly
further to the back of the arc trainer then you would find
on many elliptical trainers. Upon mounting the arc trainer
you almost immediately find that you are standing in a
more upright position. As you begin to make your stride
you will feel your hips doing more of the work. Most
people find that using the Cybex Arc Trainer is slightly
more comfortable then using some elliptical trainers. The
incline feature of the Cybex Arc Trainer is really nice and
easy to use. A thirty minute workout provides essentially
the same workout as a top quality elliptical trainer with
adjustable incline features. It appears to work all the
same muscle groups that an elliptical trainer impact. The
Cybex Arc Trainer handle bars work in the same motion
as your feet do. Basically as the left foot goes forward so
does the left handle bar in a very natural cross country
skiing motion.

Cybex Arc Trainers are built to last and have lots of
features that make them a premier piece of fitness
equipment. The console is nicely setup and it has up to
12 exercise routines with varying resistance levels similar
to many quality elliptical trainers. The biggest drawback
to the Cybex Arc Trainer is the price. For the average
fitness enthusiast it would be a major investment to
purchase a Cybex Arc Trainer for in home use. A quality
elliptical trainer provides the same exercise benefits as
the Cybex Arc Trainer at less that half the price. If you
really want to use the Cybex Arc Trainer as part of your
exercise program we suggest you look for a fitness
center that already has them.
