Schwinn's line of equipment includes elliptical trainers, stationary exercise bicycles, indoor cycling, the 'Airdyne' line, treadmills, home gyms, and much more. It also sponsors (and has interests in) almost every category of bicycle competition, from trial riding to racing and stunt riding.
The Schwinn company started in over one hundred years ago in 1895, when Ignaz Schwinn and Adolph Arnold incorporated the equipment manufacturer then named "Arnold, Schwinn adn Company" in Chicago. Thirteen years later Schwinn bought his partner's share in the interest and became its sole owner. Billing itself as an American icon, Schwinn fitness and sporting equipment now represents a leading brand of recreational products, bicycles, and commercial and home fitness equipment.
Schwinn ellipticals are aimed primarily at home rather than commercial use, but are geared at every level, from the beginner to the pro-athlete. The Schwinn Airdyne products are of particular interest to many exercisers, since they incorporate a fan propelled by the motion of the exercise, cooling the room and the person doing the exercise. The Airdyne Evolution Comp enables the user to workout both the upper and lower body effectively by the use of pedals and handles, distributing the resistance equally to all four of the body's quadrants.
The Schwinn 418, represents the entry level elliptical, while the Schwinn 428, and Schwinn 430 represent higher levels of sophistication in the equipment (and, naturally, proportionately higher levels of cost).
The Schwinn 438 Elliptical represents Schwinn's top-of-the-line model with telemetric and grip heart-rate monitors, three-speed adjustable fan, and over twenty pre-defined programs to simulate different exercising conditions.
