Q: Which cardio machine burns the most calories?

Depends on intensity, but roughly: rowers and ski machines burn the most at high effort (600–900 cal/hr) because they work upper and lower body simultaneously. Running on a treadmill is close behind at 500–800 cal/hr. Stair climbers burn 450–700 cal/hr. Ellipticals and bikes are lower but still effective at 300–600 cal/hr. The best machine for calorie burn is the one you'll use consistently.

Q: Low-impact vs. high-impact — what's the difference?

Low-impact machines (ellipticals, bikes, rowers, ski machines) keep your feet in contact with pedals or a seat — easier on joints, ideal for older users, rehab, or anyone with knee/hip issues. High-impact machines (treadmills, stair climbers) involve foot strikes — better for bone density and athletic carryover but harder on joints. Most home gyms include at least one of each.

Q: How much space does cardio equipment need?

Plan footprints carefully: treadmills need about 7 × 3 ft plus 2 ft of rear clearance for safety, ellipticals typically 6 × 3 ft, bikes around 4 × 2 ft, rowers 8 × 2 ft (longer than most people expect). Every product page lists the assembled footprint. Add 2 ft of clearance on all sides for entry, exit, and ventilation.

From steady-state to all-out effort. Treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, rowers, stair climbers, vertical climbers, rope pull machines, plyo boxes, medicine balls, battle ropes, resistance bands, suspension trainers, and Garmin wearables from Muscle D Fitness, TRX, Ropeflex, Endurance by Body-Solid, and PRx Performance. Everything that builds capacity, output, and athleticism in one collection.

Frequently asked questions

What types of cardio equipment do you carry?

Our cardio collection covers every major training style: treadmills for walking and running, ellipticals for low-impact full-body cardio, exercise bikes (upright, recumbent, and spin), rowers and ski machines, stair climbers and steppers, rope trainers, vibration platforms, and vertical climbers. Brands include Endurance by Body-Solid, Ropeflex, Body-Solid, and more.

Which cardio machine burns the most calories?

Depends on intensity, but roughly: rowers and ski machines burn the most at high effort (600–900 cal/hr) because they work upper and lower body simultaneously. Running on a treadmill is close behind at 500–800 cal/hr. Stair climbers burn 450–700 cal/hr. Ellipticals and bikes are lower but still effective at 300–600 cal/hr.

Low-impact vs. high-impact — what's the difference?

Low-impact machines (ellipticals, bikes, rowers, ski machines) keep your feet in contact with pedals or a seat — easier on joints, ideal for older users, rehab, or anyone with knee/hip issues. High-impact machines (treadmills, stair climbers) involve foot strikes — better for bone density and athletic carryover but harder on joints. Most home gyms include at least one of each.

What cardio equipment do I need for a commercial facility?

For a well-rounded commercial cardio floor, plan for a mix: 30–40% treadmills (most in-demand), 20–25% ellipticals, 15–20% bikes (upright + recumbent), and 15–20% rowers/climbers/specialty. Hotels and apartment gyms can scale smaller. For bulk orders and facility design, our Commercial team can build a custom spec and provide freight consolidation.

How much space does cardio equipment need?

Plan footprints carefully: treadmills need about 7 × 3 ft plus 2 ft of rear clearance for safety, ellipticals typically 6 × 3 ft, bikes around 4 × 2 ft, rowers 8 × 2 ft (longer than most people expect). Every product page lists the assembled footprint. Add 2 ft of clearance on all sides for entry, exit, and ventilation.

Do you offer financing on cardio equipment?

Yes — we offer financing through Shop Pay and Affirm, useful for higher-end commercial treadmills and full facility builds. Our Competitive Price Guarantee matches advertised prices from authorized dealers, and commercial buyers can open a purchase order or request a custom quote.
