Well, it’s time to take out my little black book full of elliptical trainer notes and write a review of the HealthRider H90E Elliptical. If I recall correctly, I tried the HealthRider H90E Elliptical out at a Sports Authority about a week ago. To keep things fresh in my mind I take video and pictures of the elliptical trainers and treadmills I test out and write about a page of notes. My review of the HealthRider H90E Elliptical is based on personal experience and the notes I’ve written about the HealthRider H90E Elliptical. Alright, let’s get to the review.

How the HealthRider H90E Elliptical Feels
The HealthRider H90E Elliptical retails for about 1000 bucks so I was expecting quite a bit, well, at least I was hoping for quite a bit. After running on the HealthRider H90E Elliptical for about seven minutes I had noticed quite a bit. There were some shaking and tiny squeaks. Slight shaking and tiny squeaks are not all that uncommon in midrange elliptical trainers, so all in all I was pleased with the way the HealthRider H90E Elliptical performed.
The foot pedals have little bumps on them made of a very pleasant feeling material, it’s probably a plastic. I don’t know what it is about the little bumps that make me feel so comfortable, but I personally like these little bumps. It’s almost as if they massaged my feet as I peddled / ran on the elliptical trainer.

Features
Just like nearly every other Icon Fitness product, (Icon Fitness is the parent company of Healthrider.) The HealthRider H90E Elliptical has an incredible amount of fitness programs and interactivity features. You get a total of 20 fitness programs and Icon Fitness has even developed a feature called iFit which allows you to purchase fitness programs developed by professional and well known fitness trainers like Jillian Michaels of Biggest Loser fame.
Another feature that seems to be growing in popularity in the fitness industry is adjustable ramps. Elliptical trainers with adjustable ramps can adjust the angle they peddle simulating hills. I particularly don’t like this feature because it really just feels like I’m running on the side of a wall, a lot of people like it and it’s an excellent way to add another layer of difficulty to a boring workout.

Final Rating
It seems the HealthRider H90E Elliptical has followed in the footsteps of many Icon Fitness elliptical trainers that have come before it. It has an amazing set of features that you can’t get anywhere else for a relatively small price. I’m not going to say this is the most comfortable $1000 elliptical trainer I have ever used, but it certainly met my expectations. However, I will say I personally prefer the feel of the Sole E25 Elliptical Trainer
 to the HealthRider H90E Elliptical. Overall, considering the unique features like the iFit system this is a pretty solid elliptical trainer. Just do yourself a favor and check out a couple elliptical trainers before you make a purchase.
