Space-Efficient Design

The forward-thinking, front-drive design of Octane’s cross trainers affords a smaller footprint that is significantly shorter than most premium treadmills and ellipticals, so it’s a cinch to fit them into any home. Plus, the innovative front drive maximizes safety with all moving parts enclosed.

Abundant Awards

Octane Fitness ellipticals continually earn multiple awards from leading consumer publications like Healthand Consumer Guide, with several models winning Best Buy designations. And fitness industry trade magazines have praised the incredible performance of both the machines and the company. In fact, specialty fitness retailers have named Octane Fitness’ products their top-selling ellipticals for two years in a row.

Every Octane machine is designed to match natural movement based on comprehensive

biomechanics and ergonomics testing using a variety of sophisticated technology, including

computer solid modeling, video analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) computer simulation.

Then each is subject to

stringent quality control

to ensure unmatched quality and performance.

Manufacturing in our world-class ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 14000 certified factory produces

virtually

sculpt every muscle in your body. From GluteKicker that shapes the hips, glutes and thighs, to ArmBlaster that tones the upper body, your body will notice a difference. In a recent independent analysis of ellipticals, only Octane significantly recruited the glutes and positioned exercisers in such a way that you have to work against gravity and cannot cheat by using momentum. The result for you? Greater caloric expenditure, stronger muscles and a physique that you can be proud of.

Anyone who has used an elliptical cross trainer knows that each brand is distinctive in its motion, feel and fit to an exerciser’s body. The lower-body motion plays an enormous role in how the elliptical feels overall, which impacts one’s motivation, usage and, ultimately, results. Precision engineering in critical biomechanical elements such as pedal spacing, inertia and pedal articulation delivers Octane’s exclusive Body-Mapping Ergonomics for lower-body motion that is inherently smooth, fluid and natural—just like walking, jogging and running.

Even more, Octane has risen above and beyond with the patent-pending SmartStride interactive ergonomics on its Q45 Series that automatically replicates natural movements by monitoring your pace and direction and intelligently adjusting stride length accordingly. Plus, you can emphasize specific muscle groups with different stride lengths and directions— all to facilitate incomparable workouts.

QuadLink Drive

This patented technology is the backbone of Octane’s Body-Mapping Ergonomics, which delivers incredibly fluid, comfortable motion and replicates natural movements like walking, jogging and running.

Close Pedal Spacing

Octane Fitness provides the closest pedal spacing in the industry at less than 2" to optimize comfort and virtually eliminate lateral hip shifting and potential back stress.

Low Step-up Height

Getting started is simple with pedals lower to the ground than other ellipticals – so exercisers of all fitness levels can comfortably and safely step on and pedal.

MultiGrip

The patented design of the revolutionary MultiGrip handlebars offers variety and ultra cross training with numerous ergonomically correct positions for unmatched effectiveness, comfort and customization.

ArmBlaster

Rigorous, one-of-a-kind workout builds upper-body strength with intervals of intense repetitions using the chest, back, shoulders and arms.

Low Pivot Point

Unique design fosters more natural arm movement and transfers more load to the upper body and core for greater total-body conditioning. Until Octane emerged, upper-body movement on ellipticals seemed a bit of an afterthought among most brands, forcing the arms into a rigid, straight, back-and-forth route. But today, Octane has changed the landscape of upper-body motion for more comfortable and productive exercise.

Unlike anything available today, the new Converging Path handlebars on Octane’s Q37 Series mimic the natural path of the upper body by moving inward as you press forward, just as you swing your arms toward the midline of the body when walking or running. On the backswing, the handlebars comfortably open up by the same amount, again replicating natural movement.

In addition to feeling incredibly natural, Converging Path handlebars keep the shoulders, elbows and wrists in neutral, safe positions to minimize repetitive stress that can potentially aggravate an existing injury or create a new one. Exercisers also can enjoy a longer range of motion for greater muscle involvement and more effective upper-body use.

Each minute of every workout counts with Octane’s variety of easy to use, results-driven workouts. Just get on and go with auto Quick Start, and change the routine at any time, using DedicatedLogic™_{. For customization, save your personal} profile and favorite format with My Quick Start, and the machine automatically starts your program with the touch of a button. A variety of engaging workouts jump-start your sweat sessions with interval training, Hill and 10K programs. With HeartLogic Intelligence, the elliptical automatically adjusts intensity to keep you in the proper heart rate zone and to maximize your results. For superior convenience and accuracy, grab hold of the digital contact heart rate hand sensors on the Q45ce and Q37ce for an immediate intensity level check.

For the undeniable ultimate in cross training, nothing beats Octane’s signature X-Mode. Here, you get a virtual personal trainer that prompts you to squat, go in reverse, lean back, pedal fast or slow, push or pull and more every few minutes, which boosts your motivation and blasts your body for an experience like no other.

GluteKicker

Targeting typical trouble spots in the glutes, hips and thighs, the heart-pumping GluteKicker aggressively alternates intense lower-body movements with

recovery sessions. HeartLogic Intelligence

Five interactive, exhilarating heart rate routines (including three interval programs) engage you with the most effective, efficient and customized training so you won’t

under-train or overtrain. Variable Stride Programs

Exclusive to the Q45 Series, several powerful workouts combine stride length, direction and resistance to uniquely capitalize on cross training—not to mention spark intensity and burn calories.

The only ellipticals to boast the revolutionary, patent-pending

Converging Path handlebars, Octane’s exceptional Q37 Series

features the company’s exclusive Body-Mapping Ergonomics that

delivers exact inertia and smooth, fluid motion to replicate natural movement

Converging Path Handlebars

Enhancing Your Workout

Designed according to biomechanical research and similar to converging paths of motion on premium strength training machines, Octane’s Converging Path handlebars—only on the Q37 Series—are blazing a new trail in ergonomic excellence. Converging Path handlebars replicate the natural path of the upper body when striding by moving inward as you press forward, identical to how you swing your arms toward the center of the body. On the backswing, the handlebars comfortably open up by the same amount, like you do naturally.

Shoulders, elbows and wrists are kept in neutral, safe positions to minimize repetitive stress.

A longer range of motion facilitates greater muscle involvement and more effective use of the upper body.

Core muscle recruitment builds stability and balance.

Easier access to the console optimizes programming, reading and grabbing a water bottle or remote control.
