The 750A unit is now what I presently purchased for home use. I preferred the lower body model simply becuase I have a lot of physical limitations. This model has more options for the user then the total body model. Before I tried cybex I could never effectively get a cardiovascular workout. All other cardio equipment that I've tried would result in less motivation to loose weight and ultimately failure to loose weight. I can't explain enough how the 750A model has helped me stay in shape. This model has handle bars that are uniquely placed so that the user can support themselves in not just one but four different positions. Different positions based on what your physical limitations are and certainly preference. The user also burns more calories then any other cardio equipment I have tried. Because of this, it kept me motivated to continue trying to loose weight every day I use it. I would definitely go with the commercial model if you are contemplating buying one for home use. This model can better handle every day use and has more programmable options. You won't regret purchasing one, cause I know I couldn't live without mine. I purchased mine through an authorized dealer, which proved to be less cost then what the company sells it for on their website. I had no issues or concerns during the period that I purchased this model. I would definitely encourage others to use this wonderful piece of equipment.

Just wondering if anyone has bought one from a company that refurbishes previous gym owned machines. Half the money but all Cybex. Anyone have opinions or experiences to share?

I don't know enough about refurb units sold by the manufacturer to answer your question. I tend to shy away from refurb equipment that has lots of moving parts and electronics that can fail. That doesn't mean you should do same. Depends on your personal preferences for risk and spending. Sri, thanks for stopping by and for commenting.

I checked with the Gym Source, the authorized dealer of Cybex equipment and they said they don't know much about the refurbished usint and they only sell the new ones. There is roughtly 50% difference in the price between the new one at Gym Source and the refurbished unit offered by Cybex. Can anybody suugest anything?, whether to go for it or not etc? Thanks Hi,

The Precor has some good reviews on Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/Precor-AMT100i-Experience-Adaptive-Trainer/dp/B0029KL2MO). But at $8,000, the Precor is more than I'd want to spend for my home gym. If you can do a head to head test at a gym, please let us know what you think of the two! Hi Barb, I haven’t compared the Cybex Arc Trainer with the Precor AMT 100i.

I am trying to decide between the two. I realize there is a significant price difference but can't really tell if they behave the same. Precor has AMT and Cybex Arc has the AST. thanks Dave, Wonder if you have seen or compared the Precor AMT 100i. I am trying to decide between the two.

Curious about the jump to the 750 and others mentioning the 610 and 630... what about the 425a? Anyone? Thanks for confirming for me to stay away from the 350.

I have only seen online sales. Is the 610a arc trainer better than purchasing the good quality ellipticals. Hi,
