Jupiter Pilot

Description

Experience Yowza’s perfect biomechanical motion that is created by our Swing Up Reactive Elliptical (S.U.R.E) technology, and you will be able to push yourself in ways you never thought possible. Also standard in the Jupiter Pilot are the CardioSure dual action handlebars that engage your biceps, triceps and deltoids for an upper body workout not seen in other standard ellipticals.. Add in our ERGOfit Pivoting pedals that flex back and forth with each stride – delivering a natural foot movement to make crosstrainer workouts more comfortable and easy on your joints. This eliminates the numbness in the shins, toes and foot most people associate with ellipticals today! When creating the best entry level elliptical you have to have an economical approach without sacrificing high quality. Yowza Fitness built the Jupiter Pilot with that statement in mind. Like all of our CardioSure ellipticals, this machine comes with features most “traditional” ellipticals leave out. Featuring rampless adjustable stride of 16"-20” stride and 0-25% integrated adjustable incline with the push of a button, the Jupiter Pilot will allow users to engage different muscle groups in their legs that will add to the cardio burn. Add in 16 levels of resistance and 12 motion levels, the Jupiter Pilot offers options and workouts not seen in the entry level category. Features and innovation brought to you by Yowza Fitness. Review: High Quality Unit Highly Recommended - This is a great machine. Solid, well built and fairly easy to assemble. I highly recommend it if you want a basic elliptical that is long on quality and that has enough features to give you some basic variability in your workouts. I've been a daily runner for about 40 years and I wanted an elliptical so as to have an option for another daily workout. Run in the morning and do elliptical in the afternoon. I'm not into connectivity with phones or electronics so I just wanted a well-built unit that would last a long time. That's what the Jupiter Pilot seemed to offer and I am not disappointed in the least. I've been using it daily for over a month now and have encountered zero problems or defects with it. Some days I don't even run now, just do my elliptical twice. The unit was well packaged and I managed to assemble it myself. It was delivered to my driveway but I slipped the delivery guy $20 and he helped me get it (it weighs over 200 lbs) to my basement. From there I did it all myself, although there were a couple of steps where an extra pair of hands would have been helpful. At first glance the instructions were pretty intimidating, but I took my time and it turned out not to be too bad. Great illustrations show how to arrange bolts and washers, etc., and exactly what to do step by step. It took about 4 hours and then I was ready to rock. As far as workouts go, the Jupiter Pilot will kick your butt. Or not, if you don't want to push it. It has enough different programmed workouts to keep things interesting and each program can be set at whatever difficulty level you want. For instance, the Fat Burning program can be set up to difficulty level 8 but I run it at level 3 and get a workout that I judge to be equal to a slightly uphill long run. You can adjust difficulty levels on the fly though so if you want to change mid-workout it just takes the touch of a button to make it easier or harder. By the way, difficulty level is determined by a combination of both wheel resistance and elevation gain. You can set it so that your running "up hill" a little or a lot, or not at all, which can also be changed on the fly if you don't like where the program automatically puts it. I imagine the computer screen is pretty basic compared to some of the pricier Yowza models, but it tells me everything I need to know, like RPM, running speed, workout time remaining, distance traveled and heart rate if you grab the lower handles. It took me a few days to get comfortable with using the programs, but now it's a snap. Hope this reviews helps you with your decision.
