Advanced Fitness Group (AFG) is part of Johnson Health Technologies which claims to be the fourth largest exercise equipment manufacturer in the world. Johnson makes products that range from low end department store products to full commercial health club products. Having different factories that make different tiers of their product, the AFG brand is made & designed in the same plant as Matrix Fitness. Matrix Fitness happens to be the fastest growing company for full commercial fitness clubs. We expect the same from AFG products, in which they offer a great packaged product at an incredible price. AFG promotes that they make more of their machines parts vs. competitors that outsource a majority of their parts. AFG suggests that this is a major reason why their machine a smooth, quiet, and rugged.

AFG offers a complete line up of ellipticals. However, the one machine that we feel you should direct your attention to is the 18.0 Ascent Trainer. This machine offers elevation with stride change. Any machine that offers variation throughout the workout is a good thing. Being able to change the pitch of the stride or the stride length will trigger different muscles and make the workout more interesting for you physically and mentally. However the trick is for many companies that offer incline on their ellipticals is to keep it comfortable to the user throughout the adjustments offered. We believe AFG does an excellent job of offering great biomechanics throughout elevation changes.

The other element we like about the 18.0 Ascent Trainer is it's overall design. The machine is easy for a user to get on and off the machine. The pedals are suspended in the air which creates a smoother and cleaner feel. In comparison to other machines on the market the have wheels rolling on rails, the Ascent Trainer has no friction which creates a better feel and less maintenance down the road.

AFG 18.0 AXT Ascent Trainer



A whole new way to move.
Your trouble spots have met their match. Uniting club-proven technology with an entirely new range of motion, the Ascent is the smoothest, most dynamic total-body trainer in the industry. It's a machine that moves beyond the limitations imposed by traditional trainers and unleashes a powerful new potential.

The 18.0 AXT Ascent Trainer is a revolution in home exercise equipment. Its unique design can help any user, at any level, achieve an effective workout, whether they want to simulate a leisurely walk or an intense stadium climb. Premium components, an exclusive design, and a strong warranty mean that the Ascent will continue to deliver results for years to come.

MORE EFFECTIVE LOW-IMPACT SOLUTION
The increased stride length fully engages your glutes, hamstrings and core stabilizer muscles, while the dual-handles help strengthen core muscle groups. The result is a total-body, low-impact workout no matter how high you set the incline.

A SMOOTH, FLUID WORKOUT
The Ascent Trainer delivers a perpetually smooth workout for two main reasons: First, its pedals do not ride on the wheels, eliminating friction from traditional ellipticals. Second, we use a heavy-duty flywheel to eliminate bounce.

MORE NATURAL OPTIONS
With its electronic incline, the Ascent can simulate true walking, running or even stadium-climbing movements for all levels of users. 10 pre-programmed workouts help guide you through the options available.
  • 16 levels of resistance
  • 23-lbs. flywheel
  • 19- to 21-inch variable stride
