York Fitness Elliptical Trainers


"There are more cardiovascular machines and weights in the world branded “York” than collectively all other manufacturers!"

York has been one of the biggest names in the global fitness equipment industry for almost 75 years. York started life as 2 different companies – the first was established in the USA in 1932 and operated in the world of Olympic Weightlifting, and the second was established in Canada in 1936 and began developing weights and benches for use in the home.

York Canada branched out all over the world and expanded out into other fitness categories so that by 2004 it had offices in the UK, Australia and Taiwan, distributors in 50 countries and a product range that had as much cardiovascular in it as strength equipment.

York USA continued to operate in the Olympic Weightlifting arena for many years, as well as widening it’s product range to include commercial weight training equipment. It’s founder, Bob Hoffman, was the coach to the USA’s Olympic Weightlifting team from 1948 to 1964 and was designated the ‘Father of World Weightlifting’ by the Olympic Weightlifting Federation for his part in the history and development of weightlifting as a sport. He even provided advice on youth fitness to Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon and Kennedy.

In 2004 the 2 companies came together, meaning York was truly a global brand for the first time. Combining the strengths of the respective companies, one in the domestic fitness market and the other in commercial, made perfect sense and has created a company with a complete offering for the global fitness market.

York fitness home products range from york dumbbells, barbells, weight benches and york multigyms to york treadmills, york exercise bikes, york cross trainers, gym balls, and much more besides.

York fitness commercial gym equipment is used by high profile sports teams such the LA Lakers, Washington Redskins and Lions in the US and UK premier league rugby teams such as Northampton Saints, Saracens, Harlequins and Borders.

This extensive company history has allowed york to build up a wealth of experience that goes into each and every one of york products.

Elliptical training machines are among the most popular gym equipment. Not only do they help you lose weight, they also do it safely, by allowing you to move your entire body and burn up a great deal of fat without straining your joints.
 
Cross Trainer vs. Treadmill

If you're after a full body workout, the only piece of exercise equipment you need is an elliptical training machine. Elliptical trainers are low-impact machines that don't strain your muscles or any part of your body beyond its limits. And the one muscle that the elliptical machine works out the most is the heart. Its performance is actually comparable to the treadmill, which is also a cardiovascular exercise device, although proponents of the trainer claim that the additional upper-body workout provided by the trainer makes for a more well-rounded exercise session.

The one thing a treadmill may have as an advantage over elliptical devices is, it provides a more intensive lower-body workout. This is especially true of non-automatic treadmills, or treadmills that are pretty much just... rubber treads wrapped around steel cylinders, and go round as you walk on them. Non-automatic treadmills provide greater resistance, so leg and thigh muscles are bulked up faster. If you're a serious marathon runner or walker, and part of your regimen is working out indoors, keeping a non-automatic treadmill might be more to your advantage.

For the rest of us normal folk, however, an automatic treadmill is more highly recommended. For one thing, it won't give you legs of steel like a marathon runner, the way a non-automatic treadmill would. Certainly not if you want to look good in that short-hemmed cocktail dress! For another, it'll be easier on your joints and heart. Less tension on the legs makes for more leisurely exercise, giving your body more time to adjust to the subtle changes in exertion routine.

It's argued that an automatic treadmill and an elliptical trainer may have similar benefits, since elliptical trainers are almost always automatic, as well. Automatic treadmills can also come with all the other nifty functions of top-grade trainers, such as polar heart rate monitors, adjustable speeds, etc. And if you're just worried about the full body workout, you can exercise on a treadmill even without something to hold onto. It just won't be as easy, or as natural for your body.

When you're looking to buy just one exercise machine for your personal use, and you want to weigh the advantages between treadmills and elliptical training machines, keep your specific needs in mind; these will shape the criteria that will help you choose.
