Helix Club Connect HLT3500

Unlike standard ellipticals that move primarily in a front-to-back motion, the HLT3500 moves in all three planes of human motion. This lateral action forces your body to stabilize itself, which significantly increases muscle activation in your core, glutes, and inner thighs compared to traditional cardio machines.

While the HLT3500 is engineered for the 24/7 demands of a commercial gym, it is an excellent choice for a home gym if you have the space. Its heavy-duty construction ensures extreme durability, though you will need to ensure you have a dedicated 120 VAC power outlet nearby.

The Android-powered console provides direct access to live and on-demand classes, but functionality may depend on the specific content provider or platform you choose to use. You can still utilize the machine's 12 built-in programs and manual resistance settings without an active subscription.

The footprint of the HLT3500 is 42 inches by 42.5 inches. You should also account for a little extra clearance around the machine to safely mount and dismount, as well as to accommodate the lateral range of motion during your workout.

The HLT3500 is Polar compatible, meaning it will sync with most standard Polar heart rate monitors. If you use a different brand of wearable, check if it supports Bluetooth connectivity, as the console features integrated Bluetooth for potential pairing.

The machine features 20 levels of electro-magnetic resistance, which are easily adjustable through the interactive TFT display. This allows you to quickly dial in the intensity as you transition between warm-ups, high-intensity intervals, and cool-downs.
