HERE IS OUR FULL REVIEW

The Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer is an upgrade of the highly popular 430 bestselling model which entered the home exercise equipment market back in 2006. It comes with the same compact features which made its predecessor quite a hit, but has added more programs, a larger flywheel and a bigger user weight capacity. It is about 20 lbs heavier than the previous model and offers more sturdiness with the same compact footprint.

The Schwinn 431 Trainer presents the most comfortable yet compact design in a home gym equipment. Exercising has never become more convenient and enjoyable with its built-in 3 speed adjustable fan an iPod/MP3 dock, a water bottle holder and a towel hook. Its 25-lb flywheel provides the smoothest frictionless ride with incredibly 19 workout courses that include 1 manual, 10 profile, 2 heart rate control, 2 custom, time trial, calorie goal and fitness test, plus 3 feedback programs. A blue backlit LCD display console provides highly readable workout related information and you can choose among 16 different resistance levels to suit your exercise needs.

The Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer includes the following standard specifications:

  • Fixed 18-inch stride length
  • 300 lbs / 136 kg. maximum user weight capacity
  • Blue Backlit LCD display featuring Speed, time, distance, RPM, watts, pulse, calories, interval time, resistance

OUR FINAL CONCLUSION

The Schwinn 431 Elliptical deserves high regard for its expanded and versatile programs and its user-friendly add-ons. With 19 different course programs to choose from, plus a cooling fan, iPod/MP3 dock and towel hook, exercising definitely becomes more fun and convenient! The blue back lit display console improves readability a lot and the 25-lb. flywheel is probably the largest you can find in home elliptical trainers.  The frame of the Schwinn 431 is definitely heavier and sturdier than most elliptical - that is why it does not even wobble a bit amidst intense workouts. A lot of essential functions and value has been packed into an incredibly under-a-thousand-dollar home exercise machine that comes quite close to real gym equipment grade. It should not be long before this model lands the "Best Buy" category among home elliptical trainers.

    I can only say that this Elliptical Trainer is the very best for its price range. In fact, it is better than many of the higher priced machines that are available. One of the deciding factors is that this model has the 25 lb. flywheel, which makes the operation very smooth and helps to stabilize the machine. It is very well constructed, very smooth, and very quiet. I put it together in an hour and a half. It was money well spent! I would definitely recommend this model for in-home use.
