These are the best home gym ellipticals in 2023, according to reviewers.

Workout with this simple elliptical machine for your home gym that has an eight-level tension controller to customize workout resistance. It has a digital monitor that displays time, speed, distance, calories and heart rate. It's a small piece of home gym equipment intended for users up to 220 pounds in weight.

"This is not a gym-quality elliptical by any means, but for the price, it offers everything I could ask for," a reviewer said.

Home fitness doesn't have to be expensive. If you're short on space or want a more affordable option for your workout, go for half the elliptical instead with this desk elliptical machine. You can get in some cardio while sitting or standing, and its resistance is adjustable. Its monitor displays the number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time and calories burned. This piece of home gym equipment supports a maximum of 250 pounds of weight.

"I love this strider," wrote a Walmart customer. "I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay active while at a desk job!"

One reviewer raved about the Max Trainer M6: "I had been looking for an elliptical for a long time that had a small footprint and was able to easily be moved around. When I came across the BowFlex trainers, I simply couldn't resist giving it a try... I enjoy getting my sweat on with the 14 minute programs and have been enjoying getting my post-covid bod back to where I want it to be."

"I am 56 and hit this thing now five days a week for 30 minutes," another reviewer wrote of the Max Trainer M8. "Worth every penny if you use it regularly."
