Smooth 3.0 CE Ellipticals

Budget price without sacrificing quality

The Smooth 3.0 CE is the latest offering from Smooth Fitness, new this year. Since it is so new to Smooth's line of fitness equipment we thought we'd check it out and see how it compares to their other popular models.

Like most Smooth elliptical machines, the Smooth CE 3.0 offers a variety of comfort features plus the ability to tailor your workout to your own needs. And with some extra added functions, that flexibility has been taken to a whole new level. Once again, Smooth offers a gym quality workout without the hassle or expense of gym membership.

The 3.0 has the same rugged construction that all Smooth equipment does, making it stand up to even the most rigorous use. And the patented heavy duty fly wheel ensures smooth and quiet performance every time. There is a built in water bottle holder for your convenience and an easy to read dual color LCD display which enables you to get all the information you need at a glance.

If you're interested in one of these quality machines, make sure you visit the official Smooth Fitness site. There you will find all of the different models and you can compare them to see what works best for you.

Where this model really stands out is in the level of workout it offers. For a relatively small unit, it doesn't skimp on quality in the least. The compact footprint still allows for a long 21" stride and the full range of preset programs enables you to get a full cardio workout.

With programs that allow you to measure body fat and vary intensity, the Smooth CE 3.0DS can literally accommodate every member of your family. You can even adjust your workout to help you achieve and maintain a target heart rate. And monitoring your heart rate is even easier with the wireless chest strap that allows for hands free operation.

You can intensify your workout on the Smooth 3.0 even further by switching from traditional elliptical movement to a stepper motion. We found this easy to do and appreciated the advanced level of workout we were able to achieve. And the moving handlebars allow for full body movement so your entire body gets a workout.

Like all Smooth ellipticals, the 3.0 comes with a comprehensive warranty. For this model, you'll get lifetime frame and two year braking system, parts & electronics and in-home labor coverage. No other company gives you the peace of mind that Smooth does, so it's an investment you can trust in.

Overall, we can say that the Smooth 3.0 CE elliptical trainer is a good entry-level choice. It doesn't have some of the added features that the higher priced models offer, but it will offer a high quality workout and help you get in shape.
