The Future of Elliptical Training Is Here.
Most Advanced Elliptical Machine On The Market
The Helix Lateral Effect
Studies show Traditional Elliptical machines only train the front and back of the lower body. While a Helix Lateral Elliptical engages the entire lower body a full 360° for enhanced muscle activity and increased calorie burn every second of every workout.
Internationally Patented Helix Motion
Turning Traditional Ellipticals On Its Side
Helix Lateral Ellipticals move the body in all 3 planes of human motion. With full 3D, your heart rate gets to targeted range faster and you use more muscles every second of a workout, which means you burn more fat than during Traditional Elliptical workouts. Plus, Helix®’s internationally patented motion super tones your butt, your core, and even the hard-to-target inner and outer thighs. Traditional Elliptical machines just can’t do that.

Lateral Training FAQs
There are three planes of human motion. Traditional cardio trainers like bikes, steppers, treadmills and ellipticals, move the body in one plane of motion only, and as a consequence, they focus their work on the fronts and backs of the lower body only. Helix® Lateral Trainers work the body in all three planes of human motion. This means that more muscles are being worked during every moment of a workout, translating to increased calorie burn and quicker achievement of targeted heart rates.
Numerous clinical studies have shown that Helix® is extremely effective, working more muscles, burning more calories and achieving targeted heart rates more quickly than other cardio equipment. Further, some of the fittest people on the planet use Helix® Lateral Trainers to keep a competitive edge, including professional sports teams like the New England Patriots, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the LA Lakers.
Absolutely, which is why many professional sports teams--like The New England Patriots, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the LA Lakers--use Helix® Lateral Trainers as part of their training protocol. Lateral or side to side movement is crucial to most sports, including ice hockey, tennis, golf, skiing, football, squash, and soccer. Traditional cardio trainers like bikes, ellipticals and treadmills simply do not work the lateral muscles of the body. Helix® Lateral Trainers enable athletes to train these muscles while they build their endurance.
Lateral training is a non-impact exercise, making it a safe choice for those looking for a rigorous workout that still protects their joints.

The Helix® Lateral Trainer is considered safe for those with hip pain and in fact increases the mobility of the hip joint. We always recommend checking with your physician or physical therapist for guidance if you have injuries or have undergone surgery.
Yes. Helix® Lateral Trainers are a ‘closed chain’ exercise that is also non-impact. Further, because they strengthen the knee’s most crucial support muscles, Helix® Lateral Trainers are perfect for most users with knee pain. In fact, many physical therapists recommend working on a Helix® Lateral Trainer for those who are planning to undergo, or who are recovering from, knee replacement surgery. After surgery, we always recommend checking with your physician or physical therapist for guidance about when it is appropriate to begin training again.
Helix® Lateral Trainers are an excellent choice for seniors for many reasons. First, they have been shown to dramatically and quickly improve balance by strengthening the side muscles of the body and correcting common strength imbalances that can contribute to fall risk. Second, they are non-impact, so they are safe for hips and knee joints, even for many who suffer from joint pain or arthritis. Finally, they enable older exercisers to work on their cardiovascular system while they safely build muscle strength. For older or deconditioned users, or those with existing balance issues, we recommend our recumbent models.
