As a still relatively new player in this industry, Octane Fitness has brought out products that are intended to be the brightest and best, including the Octane Fitness Q45e.

The extra features on their elliptical machines are mind- and body-boggling. SmartStride fits the stride to your natural motion. X-Mode gives commands, such as faster, slower, reverse, just like a personal trainer. The GluteKicker automatically alternates lower-body movements with recovery time to maximize development in that area of the body.

Ergonomically correct handlebars have a unique low pivot point for a more natural feel. All of these patented features are on Octane Fitness elliptical machines, but the Q45e has extra electronics with an upgraded console, which adds five stride programs to the unit, and MultiGrip handlebars custom fit for users of all sizes. This model also has the ArmBlaster, which integrates upper body workouts with the stride workouts.

Finally, weighing in at 300 pounds, the Octane Fitness Q45e as stable as a piece of fitness equipment can be. Octane Fitness is making its name through innovation.
