There are two main differences - the Heart Rate Control and the price. You can purchase Body Solid’s Endurance E7 elliptical trainer for about $1,500 and get the wireless chest strap monitor and one heart rate control program. For about $300 more, the Body Solid Endurance Cardio E7HRC elliptical gives you three additional programs based on your heart rate to ensure a maximally effective cardiovascular workout.

The Word on the Street

It’s a split decision among trainers. For some, they feel the Endurance E7 elliptical’s "peak cardio" options are wonderful, particularly for individuals who really need to monitor there cardio exercise and pace themselves.

By having a choice of workout options that are actually regulated by your own heart rate, you can maximize performance and minimize potential problems. Other fitness experts say that this isn’t necessary for the average person, so why bother?

Consumers who have purchased either the Endurance Cardio E7 or the E7HRC have been satisfied. These elliptical trainers are surprisingly quiet, given the front end elliptical design and 15 pound flywheel.

Our Thoughts

We like both the Body Solid Endurance E7 elliptical and the E7HRC trainer. It boils down to how much importance you place on monitoring your heart rate and then building your workout routine around that specific information.
