The promotion of a healthy lifestyle directly addresses the topic of exercise. For many people, the main problem in switching to such training is high loads. Even elementary running or squats are capable of exhausting the body in a short time. Alternatively, bike paths can be considered, but the cost of high-quality equipment is quite high and not everyone can afford it. The output may be the products of the company "Torneo" - an elliptical trainer that provides metered power loads and is inexpensive compared to other varieties of such fitness equipment.
Varieties of elliptical trainers Torneo
Torneo equipment attracts customers by offering almost the entire range of models and versions of cardiovascular equipment. This also applies to elliptical devices. They are usually divided according to two characteristics - the type of drive and the location of the flywheel. In the first case, two versions of simulators should be distinguished. These are models with magnetic and electromagnetic effects on the flywheel, which drives the resistance system. The most convenient, safe and reliable electromagnetic models are considered "Torneo". The elliptical trainer of this brand is also offered in different configurations regarding the placement of the flywheel. The mechanical base can be located at the back, front and center.
Smooth running and stability in the operation of the equipment provide rear-wheel drive devices. Models with a central flywheel are the most technologically advanced and, as a rule, have all the modern electronic devices. As for front-wheel drive devices, they are gradually leaving the Torneo family. This type of elliptical trainer loses to its analogues in reliability, ergonomics and functionality. Now it’s worthwhile to take a closer look at cardio simulator models.
Series "Vento"
It’s worth starting the review with the Vento budget line. The simulators of this series have gone through many upgrades, but in all versions they retain a fairly wide functionality, convenient controls and a magnetic drive, which allows them to work without connecting to a network. The features of the latest models in the series include the use of materials made using Ever Proof technology. This determined the high strength of the structure, capable of providing training for people weighing up to 110 kg. At the same time, the elliptical trainer Torneo Vento is quite conservative. It lacks advanced electronic controls, so any person can easily cope with its operation. But there is one limitation, due to the structural features of the elliptical trainers themselves. The fact is that this type of equipment provides for exact compliance of the user parametric data with the structural characteristics. In the case of Vento, it is worth considering the growth restriction - the model is designed for people no higher than 165 cm.
Series "Stella"
The modification is also aimed at the mass consumer, although its cost is higher than the previous version due to some additions. One of the main differences can be called the possibility of training people weighing up to 130 kg. At the same time, the dimensions of the simulator are quite modest, so it can be placed even in a small room. As for the drive, it is electromagnetic with power at 220 V. Moreover, the Torneo Stella elliptical trainer is one of the most functional in its class. The user has 14 operating modes, including 5 heart rate programs. To measure the pulse during training, just look at the sensor in the handrail. Also, this model is convenient for those who are just starting to master cardio training. The fact is that for beginners it is very important to have a wide range of loads. "Stella" offers 16 load modes, allowing you to systematically increase the pace of exercises and the degree of effort.
Premium Model
The most functional and attractive in its capabilities is the Premium simulator. It should be noted right away that the model occupies a middle niche between home units and equipment for professional use in gyms. The advantages of the model include the availability of wide possibilities for adjusting the operating parameters. In particular, the user has 3 levels of adjustment along the step length, and growth does not matter - the simulator in this sense is universal. And the maximum weight for operation is 150 kg. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the cost at which this Torneo elliptical trainer is sold. The price of the Premium version in the most advanced configuration is 40 thousand rubles. For comparison: the Vento model is estimated at 10 thousand rubles.
Reviews about the exercise machines "Torneo"
Fans of the Torneo brand are familiar with all the pros and cons of its products. According to users of ellipsoids, the equipment of this brand is undoubtedly the most profitable in terms of acquisition for beginner athletes and those who decided to do fitness. Functionality, availability of modern sensors for measuring pressure and heart rate, reasonable price, impeccable design - these are the main advantages for which the Torneo elliptical trainer is valued. Reviews also note the negative aspects of the exploitation of brand models. As a rule, criticism affects the unsatisfactory quality of equipment assembly, sometimes the mismatch of technical parameters with official data and a short service life.
Conclusion
In the market of fitness equipment today you can find a huge assortment of models equipped with the latest devices for tracking health indicators, as well as ergonomic controls. What distinguishes Torneo products from their background? The elliptical trainer of this manufacturer may be of interest to a wide range of training opportunities and an affordable price. So, if it is necessary to periodically perform a complex of simple exercises for lower muscle groups at home, it will be difficult to find a worthy replacement for the Torneo models. Another thing is that for demanding professionals, perhaps, additional functionality will be redundant, and the quality of the technical basis will come to the fore. Just in this case, it is worth taking a closer look at the offers of other brands.
