Yowza elliptical trainers are not as well known as other brands.
They've been around for a little over 4 years, which is young in the fitness equipment world.
However, what most people don't know is that the company was actually started by the former CEO of the popular SmoothFitness.
So there's actually quite a bit of experience behind the brand. |
Like Smooth, Yowza is focusing on building high quality machines that generate a lot of online buzz and positive user reviews.
Instead of spending tons of money on flashy ads and relying on large-chain store distribution, Yowza ships directly to the customer from their own factory at discount prices.
They currently sell 6 different elliptical models ranging from $999 up to $1999.
One of the most interesting things about these machines are the CardioCore arms (found on the Captiva, Pompano and Sanibel models). These give you a completely new way to train.
Instead of moving arm bars that go forward and back, like a standard elliptical trainer, these arm bars move side to side - kind of like a very heavy steering wheel.
This tones and works your core as well as your shoulders and back. It's a great way to trim your waist and burn even more calories.
You can watch a video below of how this works on the Captiva Elliptical:
The Captiva elliptical also comes with another unique twist - variable elliptical motion. You can choose from 15 different elliptical pathways - from a standard shorter elliptical motion to a long hurdling-type motion.
This is a great way to challenge yourself and avoid the exercise plateau that often comes with doing 1 repetitive motion over and over again.
Another thing we like about these crosstrainers are the pivoting footpedals. These follows and supports the motion of your ankle, reducing stress and giving you a more comfortable workout.
Yowza ellipticals also use a rollerless design. This has the added advantage of reducing noise - making these trainers very quiet. It also helps to reduce maintenance and cleaning on the machine.
All crosstrainers use a rear-drive design (where the flywheel is placed behind the pedals). Many people like this since it gives a more stable feel and puts inertia behind the user, propelling you forward to the next step.
Since Yowza is not well known - and only sold through the manufacturer - they have taken steps to reassure their customers by offering an extra-long 60 day money back guarantee.
You can also email or contact Yowza elliptical buyers located near you to ask their opinion on their crosstrainer, which is a very cool way of getting authentic natural customer reviews.
Which elliptical is best for you?
It depends on your budget, needs and preferences. For example the Largo is extra-compact, making it ideal for condos or apartments.
If you want a serious workout challenge and you're planning on heavy, frequent use of your machine, you may want to consider the Captiva with the 15 different elliptical motions, a 18 - 32" stride and the CardioCore arms.
