After four years of design and development, a new product out of Solana Beach, California has people scrambling to get their pre-orders in.  The ElliptiGO bike is part elliptical, part bicycle and its the first of its kind in the world.  The bike is designed to mimic running outdoors while eliminating the high impact nature of the activity.  The ElliptiGO 8S is great for runners who want to extend their running lives, cross-training athletes who want to get a serious weight-bearing cardiovascular workout without the associated pounding caused by running, and for fitness enthusiasts who enjoy the elliptical trainer motion but don’t want to be stuck in a gym.  This bike is revolutionary in that those with bad knees and joints are no longer relegated to spending hours staring at a gym wall while they put in their time on the elliptical.  The ride looks smooth and effortless, while giving the rider a thorough workout.  A bit pricy, but I would expect that price to come down as more of these hit the market.  Check out their website, www.elliptigo.com and take a look for yourself.

Co-Founder at Share It Fitness

Matt has been involved in the fitness industry for over 10 years and has worked with, and helped countless individuals improve their lives. After college, Matt started his fitness career working in the trenches as a personal trainer for a big corporate gym. It was here he saw how impersonal Big Fitness really was. Clients weren't people, they were just sales waiting to be made. After branching out and starting his own personal training business in San Diego, Matt soon developed the idea of Share It Fitness and started our (now highly successful) blog. A fitness junkie himself, Matt knows the importance of incorporating exercise into your life. When he isn't working at Share It Fitness, you can find Matt running, biking, taking yoga, or pumping iron around San Diego.
