SOLE E95S Elliptical

The Sole E95S is a front-drive elliptical which means the 30-pound flywheel is at the front of the machine. The E95S is designed for heavier, more frequent use than the E95 and features an impressive on the frame and flywheel. The many adjustable features help support various-sized users. You get power adjustable stride length from 18” to 24”, a lot of content options on the console, and 20 levels of resistance and incline. There are plenty of onboard workouts to choose from as well as manual mode to do your own thing. The 13.3” touch screen is centered for good visibility and the handlebars offer multiple grips to activate different upper body muscles or support users of varying heights. We are impressed with the design and solid frame on the E95S and think this elliptical should work well for most people.

The E95s includes onboard workout programs with preset resistance levels to follow along with as you workout. There is also a manual mode to adjust the elliptical as you workout, too. The Sole E95s also connects to the Sole+ app for an easy way to create a profile and pair your phone. I recommend creating a profile and not just using the guest profile so you don’t have to log into the apps every time you use the E95s, and so you can save your workout stats and history. Console The E95s console now includes a 13.3” touch screen. Ellipticals tend to have slightly smaller screen sizes in general than some treadmills, so this screen size should be plenty large for most people. It is centered in between the handles and should be clear and easy to navigate. It doesn’t appear to be adjustable. There is a wireless charging pad for compatible phones to charge while working out. Frame The E95s frame has a few key features you can see just by looking at it. For example, this elliptical has an upright design with a front-mounted flywheel. The front position keeps the footprint of the E95s a bit smaller with all the weight localized on the front end which enhances stability. The frame does not fold up, but there are wheels on the front stabilizer so you can lift and roll it if needed – be aware though, this is a heavy machine at 275 lbs so it probably isn’t easy to lift. The frame is grounded on three stabilizers, with one at the front, center, and rear of the machine. Each stabilizer beam has leveling feet beneath it to keep the E95s balanced and centered on your floor which helps to prevent rocking and wobble side to side. Pedals The foot pedals have several features that make them versatile as well as convenient for most. As you can see, the surface of the pedal is gently textured with a contoured edge to hold your foot on without slipping off the side or front. The pedals are oversized and should support any size athletic shoe. Another unique feature of the E95s is each pedal has a two-degree inward slope which reduces ankle and knee stress common on elliptical machines. Handles The E95s has both static handlebars with heart rate sensors and multi-position moving handlebars that move in line with the pedals. The static handlebars sit below the console and are attached to the main frame. These are stationary and do not move. These provide a nice hand-hold for getting on and off the machine. The multi-position handlebars that move in line with the pedals have several grip positions. These bars form an elongated semi-circle that provides two vertical and two horizontal positions. There are also buttons on these handlebars for adjusting the stride length on the pedals. Incline The E95s has 20 levels of incline. This increases training variables for a more well-rounded workout. The combination of digital resistance levels and an incline range can certainly generate one glute-killing workout! The combination of incline and resistance makes the E95s a challenging but low-impact workout machine. Resistance The E95s uses magnetic resistance to increase the challenge as you work. The magnetic resistance is most likely quiet and smooth. Magnets adjacent to the flywheel oppose the wheel’s rotation to create resistance. There is no friction which reduces both noise and wear on the flywheel. There are 20 levels to choose from.
