These interactive discs control your speed and incline or resistance, while a personal trainer's voice and energizing music motivate you throughout the routine.

Review:
The Proform 1080 S Elliptical trainer is a great choice for the elliptical buyer on a budget. While it's definitely not a commercial grade elliptical, it does has some great features and is definitely built to help you battle exercise boredom.
Buyers should be aware however that while the Proform 1080 S does have resistance, it does NOT have incline capability. (Incline offers you the opportunity to work different sets of muscles and is usually only found on the more expensive commercial elliptical trainers and on the Proform 1280 S)
If you want an elliptical trainer with incline capability, take a step up to the Proform 1280 S Elliptical which has all of the features of the 1080 S but also offers incline.
If you don't care about incline however and you aren't planning on excessive use of your elliptical trainer, the Proform 1080 S Elliptical is a great little buy.
Best Place To Buy:
The best place to purchase the Proform 1080 S Elliptical is directly from the manufacturer. You can sometimes get free shipping and save on sales tax also.
