is designed for the home setting. Tunturi is a Finnish company
and redesigned its line of elliptical trainers. Little information is
available on many of its relatively new models.
We had the opportunity to use and test the Tunturi C60 elliptical
trainer for about 3 weeks. It was purchased for home use by a
family that is relatively demanding of its fitness equipment. At
about $1500.00 it is considered to be in the mid to high priced
elliptical trainer. Tunturi elliptical trainers range in price from $699
to about $2700.
At first glance the frame seemed to be well built and stable. We
had previously tested earlier Tunturi elliptical trainers and found
them to be less than expected. They were notoriously noisy
especially during intense workouts. However the model 60
elliptical trainer we used was surprisingly quiet until we reached
the highest levels of the aerobic exercise.
The compact console on the Tunturi C60 elliptical trainer was less
than expected. Granted we do spend a lot of time on the ProCor
trainers at the local fitness center and so the comparison may not
be fair. The ergometer does provide adequate feedback to the
user. The 8 relatively easy to use profiles should suit most home
users but we opted for our own workout design. If there is any
common weakness in all elliptical trainers it located within the
electronics. Only time will tell if the Tunturi C60 elliptical trainers
console will stand up to the task.
Tunturi's warranty for the C60 elliptical trainer compares well with
most mid range ellipticals. We are strong believers in extended
warranties and this is especially true for new model releases. The
frame is covered for 15 years, parts are covered for 3 if you
register your warranty on-line with labor coverage of one year.
Extended warranties are almost always a good investment when
purchasing fitness equipment. Many times this is a negotiable
item and can sometimes be purchased at reduced prices.
The Tunturi C60 elliptical trainer is designed for home use but the
average homeowner is not equipped to handle the delivery of
this equipment. At 350 bulky pounds a good dolly is required and
it if it is to be located on upper floors a crew of at least 3 people is
required to site this machine. Make sure you contact your dealer,
Tunturi and the shipper to find assess the true cost of delivery
and set up. Never the less the Tunturi C60 elliptical trainer is
recommended for in home use,
