Seated Ellipticals & Recumbent Cross Trainers for Sale
A seated elliptical (also called a recumbent cross trainer) gives the arms-and-legs workout of an elliptical from a supported seat. That makes it ideal for users with balance concerns, those recovering from injury, and heavier members who want a total-body session without standing.
Look for a low step-through height, a seat that adjusts fore/aft and in recline, arm handles that can be disengaged for legs-only work, and a resistance range wide enough for both rehab and conditioning. Weight capacities on these machines often reach 400 lb.

More About Seated Ellipticals & Recumbent Cross Trainers
The Octane xR series pioneered the modern seated elliptical with its PowerStroke pedal path and swivel seat, and it remains the reference for clubs. Cybex's Total Body Arc and SciFit's recumbent steppers serve the same market from a rehab-first perspective, with settings such as bi-directional pedaling and adjustable crank length that clinicians value.
Seated ellipticals are the most accessible cardio machine you can put on a floor short of a full inclusive-fitness bike. They are widely used in senior living communities, hospital wellness centers, cardiac rehab programs and physical therapy clinics — as well as commercial gyms that want an option for every member.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who benefits most from a seated elliptical?
Older adults, users with balance or joint concerns, heavier users and anyone in rehab. Athletes also use them for active recovery because the seated position removes load from the joints.
Do seated ellipticals work the upper body?
Yes. Most models have moving arm handles synchronized with the pedals. Many let you park the handles and work legs only.
How is a seated elliptical different from a recumbent bike?
The pedal path is elliptical rather than circular and the arms move, so more muscle groups are involved and calorie burn at a given effort is higher.
