4.1AE Elliptical
Premium feel and quality; feature-packed.
SKU: HEP0362-01Key Features
SIXSTAR Certified™ frame
Derived from extensive biomechanics research, SIXstar Certification™ is a unique combination of the six key elements needed to deliver the most natural elliptical feel available. It focuses on all areas that impact the feel and comfort of an elliptical, including body positioning, handlebar spacing, elliptical foot path, pedal placement, elliptical access and the trainer's drive mechanism.
Heavy-duty flywheel for a smoother, more confident ride
In addition to the SIXstar certified frame, the 4.1AE features a commercial-grade, 30-lb. flywheel for the smoothest ride possible. A heavier flywheel helps you stay concentrated on reaching your fitness goals by providing a consistent, effortless motion for every stride.
Unique MAXtone™ pedal for a more intuitive workout
The arched design of the MAXtone™ pedal utilizes the science of balance training to uniquely recreate a walking or running motion, while slimming and shaping leg muscles and glutes with ease. Your foot flows through the motion just as it does when walking on sand -- your heel contacts first, then rolls up to the toes for push off. This eliminates the "tingling foot" sensation found on other ellipticals, initiates core activation, and provides additional traction.
Nike + iPod workout tracking
Join one of the world’s biggest workout groups with Nike + iPod, which automatically saves all your workout data directly to your iPod® so you can track your progress on nikerunning.com. Simply connect your iPod device to the Made for iPod connector and begin your workout while your pace, distance, time and calories burned are saved to your device.

Solid
I bought this product after getting plantars facitis. I run 4 miles a day but the plantars made that challenging. I wanted to get an elliptical to change things up. It's been good alternating running and elliptical days. The low impact/ stress to my foot of an elliptical was just what the doctor ordered.
This is a solid elliptical. It has great training features. Th money sunk into the actual equipment rather than fancy screens or tvs or internet which i prefer. It's very quiet and provides a smooth ride. The heart beat monitor is great. The footpedals are well designed and i don't have numbness or foot pain. I work up a sweat in 1/2 the time of same running. The arm action drives a higher heart rate. The construction is first rate. With that being said, there are three improvement that would be key. The first is a one time issue. The assembly is a pain. I am mechanical. It just takes a while and is tedious. Unlike my treadmill which was a couple of parts, the elliptical assemble should be much less complex than it is. Again that's a singular event. The second is a design issues. I am concerned that the wire connection from the handles to the main body via a pivot joint is very poorly designed. I won't be surprised if it wears out quickly. Thirdly, it lacks a fan. Even the most basic treadmills have fans. I bought one to blow on me. The last two are simple changes that I highly recommend changing in future designs. I hope for the first but think that is more doubtful.

First Impressions
My initial impressions of this elliptical are pretty good. It appears to be a fairly sturdy machine with a smooth operation. The resistance range is decent, with the highest setting probably being more than most home users will ever require. There is some noise between the rollers and the back rails (which might lessen as they wear in), but overall it's much quieter than I was expecting. The flat elipse is comfortable to use as are the MaxTone pedals, while the incline helps to target different parts of the legs.
The build quality obviously isn't going to be as solid as that of much more expensive commercial machines, but for the price point it appears to be pretty good. It can take my 180lbs at full pace without showing any signs of being unstable. The most important aspect of buying any cardio machine for home is finding one that you will actually use - although I have only had it for a few days, the AFG4.1 certainly appears to be good enough to give a gym quality workout. Hopefully it will stand the test of time as well!
Assembly was pretty straight forward. The screws are coordinated with their associated build stages and simple to understand instructions.It took a little over two hours to build, but it could conceivably take half that for someone less cautious than myself.

Has funny sound
The machine itself is nice and seems to work well but it has a noise. It is a click in the left mechanism. I assembled it myself and will take it apart to see if it goes away.

This is my 1st fitness equipment and fully satisfied with the decision.
Easy assembling instruction - 1h30 to complete assembling.
Quality/price meets expectation.
Only 1 comment; there should be a language selection on the console (english, french or spanish), as all included documentation is in the 3 languages.
Giving a 5 stars level of appreciation.

I'm really disappointed about this product. I change my Bremshey elliptical for this AFG 4.1 AE elliptical. Noisy and not resistant.

Nike Plus doesn't work at all!
Instructions were a bit confusing at times, and had wrong screws for wrong steps. Nike plus doesn't work at all, even though my iPhone has the latest version of iOS and the elliptical has the latest software. The elliptical will not send workout data at all to my phone. Contacted both AFG and Nike plus and they are aware of the issue but have not resolved it. Very frustrated. If you want this elliptical for Nike Plus, I can not recommend it at all as the feature just doesn't work. It's very sad!
