With plenty of features and a nice compact design for home-use, the ProForm Endurance 720 E and 520 E are impressive elliptical trainers at a very reasonable price, rivalling some of the more expensive machines!

Both the ProForm Endurance 720 E and 520 E elliptical trainers feature a front-wheel drive system with inertia-enhanced flywheel and Silent Magnetic Resistance (SMR) for smooth and quiet operation.
    

The ProForm Endurance 720E and 520 E come with their own workout console to keep track of your workout stats and offer a great variety of programs and resistance levels to keep your workouts varied and challenging.  Both machines are iFit compatible and feature an integrated tablet holder, along with a sound system (iPod compatible and 2 speakers) and USB charging port.

The ProForm Endurance 720E has a heavier flywheel weight - 20 lb versus 15 lb on the 520E (generally the heavier the flywheel, the more consistent the momentum).  The 720E has a 20” Power adjustable stride compared to the 520E’s Manual adjustable stride, as well as a 20 degree Power adjustable incline ramp compared to the 520E’s Manual adjustability.

In addition, the ProForm Endurance 720 E offers more programs and resistance levels compared to the 520 E, with 24 workout apps compared to 18, and 20 digital resistance levels compared to 18.  The 5” backlit LCD monitor can be powered by batteries or the included wall plug adaptor.
