Summary:

The Schwinn Compact 411 Elliptical Trainer is a quality machine for a relatively low price – ideal for people who want to workout at home but haven’t got much space.  It has plenty of resistance levels and a good variety of programs to keep both beginners and advanced athletes happy.  It is sturdily built, works smoothly and quietly.  The 18” stride length is good enough for most people and was actually a surprise to find on a compact machine (many compact machines only offer a 14” or 16” stride length).

It doesn’t have an incline feature which you wouldn’t expect anyway on a machine at this price point, but then you would be looking at a larger sized machine and more expensive one – if you like the idea of an elliptical trainer with an incline range feature, then you may like to look at the higher-end Schwinn elliptical trainers I’ve reviewed here:  Schwinn 470 versus Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer Machines Compared

Overall though, the Schwinn Compact 411 Elliptical Trainer offers great value for money.  It has a great range of features, is amazingly well-built and sturdy in operation, supports a high user weight capacity (300 lbs), and will stand the test of time unlike many other low-cost compact machines. 



N.B.  It’s always advisable to consult your doctor or health care professional before undertaking any new exercise regime.
