Burn fat faster and sculpt hard-to-tone areas of the body with the Helix H1000 Touch Lateral Trainer.

Proven to burn fat more quickly than an elliptical machine, the Helix H1000 Touch Lateral Trainer works the body laterally (side to side instead of front to back), engaging more muscles groups to tone those typically hard to tone areas such as the butt and inner/outer thighs as well as the core muscles.

The Helix H1000’s patented lateral motion alternates direction effortlessly – work in to tone the inner thighs or out to tone the outer thighs.

To keep you motivated and challenged, the Helix H1000 Touch Lateral Trainer features 20 levels of electronically controlled resistance and 11 workout programs including a Random program, allowing for infinite variations so you’ll never get bored!

The Helix H1000 Touch Lateral Trainer comes with an angle adjustable console for the best viewing angle for different users and features a large blue backlit 8.5” LCD touch-screen display for easy viewing of your workout stats.

To help you stay within your target heart-rate zone as you exercise, the Helix H1000 features pulse grip sensors in the handlebars and the console is also Polar TM compatible for a wireless chest strap. 

The Helix H1000 Touch Lateral Trainer is perfect for residential use with its space efficient design, measuring approx.  42” wide by 36” long x 68.5” high.




Fitness Tip:   Short bursts of intensive activity followed by longer periods of rest deliver the “afterburn” effect whereby your metabolism is increased and your body continues to burn calories for hours after your workout.


Let’s take a look at the features and specifications in detail of the Helix H1000 Touch to help you decide if it’s the best lateral trainer for you:
