The Schwinn 431 Elliptical
Trainer – Striking Gold
in the Budget Market
The Schwinn 431 elliptical trainer is perhaps the best
budget elliptical produced by
Nautilus. We've talked about several of the Schwinn elliptical trainers and why
they're a good fit in the budget market. We've also mentioned that we have some
reservations due to the limited warranty on all of their Schwinn models, but in
the case of the Schwinn 431 there are just so many good things going on for the
price that we have to admit you aren't going to get a better machine for the
price.

You're paying about $200 more for the Schwinn 431 than you
would for the 430, but it's worth every penny. Nautilus must have been reading
online elliptical reviews, because they took the earlier model and reworked all
of the elements that were seen as potential problem areas and created a budget
machine that even a serious exercise enthusiast can appreciate.

An elliptical machine with a small footprint is always nice if
you're limited for space, but most smaller machines sacrifice stability and
weight in order to give you a smaller
frame. Not so with the Schwinn 431. This elliptical trainer features a compact
size, but the frame and tubing are thicker and heftier than on the 430 model,
making it a more substantial machine that will be stable and comfortable for
even the heaviest user.
But the most impressive improvement is the front flywheel. It weights in at
twenty-five pounds, giving you a smooth ride and exceptional stability
you won't find anywhere else for less than a thousand dollars. It's simply the
heaviest flywheel you can get in a budget elliptical machine. Of course, this
brings the Schwinn 431 elliptical trainer in at 172 pounds, but it's well worth
it to get such a solid workout machine.The Right Extras Make Workouts a Pleasure
Although most elliptical reviews agree that Schwinn machines
tend to be stripped down to the basics in order to give you a good machine at a
low price, the Schwinn 431 trainer is an exception. They've added just enough of
the extras to give you the feel of a mid-priced model and add to your exercising
pleasure. A three speed fan keeps you cool and an integrated MP3 holder allows
you to listen to your favorite tunes. The foot plates are even cushioned for
extra comfort.
All in all, you'll be impressed with how much machine you're getting for the
money when you pay a mere $799 for the Schwinn 431 elliptical trainer.
