Most elliptical trainers have an elliptical mechanism that measures approximately eight inches. The elliptical mechanism on the Proform 520 only measures 3.75 inches. This is perfect if you don't have a lot of room available to accommodate a standard design. This also allows you to exercise using a more natural and comfortable stride.

One of the disadvantages of owning this elliptical trainer is that it's different to put together. You will likely need the help of a friend to lift up some of the pieces for assembly. Also, the Proform 520 isn't the highest quality elliptical trainer on the market. Some of the holes for the screws are misaligned, so you will likely have trouble getting the screws to fit inside.

If you need a basic elliptical trainer, then the Proform 520 will suit you just fine. The unit offers nine different workout programs, with four of them being designed by a certified personal trainer. The Proform 520 also allows you to modify your stride length so that you can target different muscles in your body.
