With a strong reputation built over the years, Sole Fitness has become a trusted brand among fitness enthusiasts and professionals alike. Their dedication to creating fitness machines that provide exceptional value and superior performance has earned them a loyal customer base worldwide.

Eager to see what their flagship elliptical is like, we took a close up look at the Sole Fitness E95 Elliptical Cross Trainer. Here’s what we found…

Like always, first, you’ve got to put it together before you do anything else and we’re pleased to report that assembly of the E95 was simple. With clear and concise instructions, the process was straightforward and hassle-free. Our test unit arrived with all the necessary components neatly organised, and the provided tools were more than sufficient for the task at hand. Within just over an hour, it was fully assembled and ready for action.

With its imposing and robust design, the E95 exudes a commanding presence that immediately captures your attention. The machine’s sturdy construction and sleek lines create an aura of reliability and durability, giving you the confidence to tackle your workouts head-on. The E95’s heavy-duty appearance is not just for show; it is a testament to the machine’s exceptional build quality, assuring you that it can withstand the rigours of intense exercise sessions.

From the moment you step onto this, it becomes clear that you’re in for a good cardio experience. Boasting impeccable build quality, solid ergonomic design, and a plethora of advanced features, the E95 makes a good training companion.

Crafted with an unwavering commitment to durability, this elliptical trainer showcases a robust construction that instils confidence. The 12kg (26lbs) flywheel weight ensures smooth and fluid motion, while the 20″ stride length creates a comfortable and seamless stride suitable for individuals of varying heights. With its multi-grip, dual-action handlebars, the E95 offers a versatility seldom seen in other models, engaging both the upper and lower body to unlock the full potential of your workout.

The E95 has a comprehensive array of features designed to push your limits. With 20 levels of computer-controlled magnetic resistance and 20 levels of power incline, this machine empowers you to tailor your workout intensity precisely to your desired level. The 10.1″ graphic display provides real-time workout feedback that is not only informative but also visually easy to read, keeping you motivated and engaged throughout your exercise session. With 10 pre-set programs, including manual, user-defined, and heart rate control programs, as well as interactive training options, the E95 opens up a world of possibilities, helping to ensure that boredom won’t hinder your fitness journey.

In terms of interactive training options, the E95 easily syncs with popular platforms such as the SOLE Fitness App, Kinomap, Zwift and a range of other available 3rd party apps, unlocking an interactive fitness experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional workouts.

Precise heart rate monitoring is paramount for achieving optimal cardiovascular fitness, and the E95 offers multiple avenues for accurate tracking. With conveniently positioned pulse grip sensors on the handlebars, you can monitor your heart rate during your workout, though any pulse sensors of this nature really provide a rough guide rather than a super accurate reading. For those seeking more accurate and continuous heart rate monitoring, the E95 includes a Bluetooth® Smart wireless receiver and a chest strap, ensuring that whether you’re trying to burn calories or focus on cardio conditioning, you stay in the ideal heart rate zone to maximise the effectiveness of your training.

Other features include an integrated water bottle holder to help keep you hydrated and focused on your goals. The inclusion of a USB charging port ensures that your devices remain powered up, eliminating any interruptions to your workout, and there’s a built-in cooling fan which does provide a gentle refreshing breeze that helps keep you cool and comfortable, even during your most intense sessions. There’s also a set of leg levellers to provide stability.

With an outstanding warranty of 5 years on parts and 3 years on labour, Sole Fitness showcases its confidence in the quality and durability of its machines. This warranty coverage goes above and beyond the standard warranties typically seen in the industry, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to customer satisfaction and ensuring that its customers have peace of mind with their purchase.
