Ellipticals with Cooling Fans Buying Guide

Elliptical fans are low-tech gadgets that make a big difference to cardio training. Elliptical fans are built into elliptical consoles (placed above or below the data screens) and can direct cool air toward your face and body during workouts. Benefits include avoiding dehydration, feeling more comfortable in general, and being able to train for longer periods of time. An alternative is setting up a fan next to your elliptical trainer, but that’s not as convenient. Plus, elliptical fans run more quietly than standard household fans.

Elliptical fans vary in terms of size and speed. In the product images included with our elliptical reviews, it’s clear that some elliptical fans are rather narrow and some are extra large. The elliptical fans included on some of the best elliptical trainers are up to 8″ wide. Those used by ProForm are called CoolAire™ fans. They have two speed settings each. NordicTrack uses more advanced AutoBreeze™ fans. AutoBreeze™ elliptical fans can automatically adjust their output in response to your workout intensity. Alternatively you can control the fan speed manually.
