Feedback on the Arc Trainer?

[Gettingfitat50]

I've been using an Arc Trainer at my gym and really enjoy it. I do about 45 minutes 3 x wk. at level 4 in the interval mode. Anyone else use an Arc Trainer or does anyone know whether its more effective than an elliptical, treadmill or bike?

I prefer the arc-trainer over the elliptical.

Re: Arc Trainer over Eliptical

Why do you prefer the arc over the eliptical?

I like the elliptical better. I think the movement is more natural. The Arc Trainer reminds me more of a glider like the Tony Little Gazelle.
