HypoCycloidal Trainer™/CRL™ Symmetry’s CRL™ (Counter Rotating Links) drive system creates a multitude of elliptical shapes which simulate different types of terrain for all types of training. This new technology provides a vast variety of workouts and develops a broader range of muscle groups.
ScorpoFlex™ Tail Symmetry’s unique ScorpoFlex™ tail is engineered to provide additional shock absorbtion during the workout. This natural flex in the tail provides a smoother, softer stride movement, which produces less stress on the joints.
GlideStride™ Symmetry’s patented GlideStride™ technology provides the smoothest motion in the market. GlideStrides™ incredibly fluid movement is created by 22 permanently sealed lubricated bearings. This eliminates any hitches in the movement commonly found in other elliptical machines. The movement is so smooth with practice, there is no need to hold on thereby enabling the user to move their arms with a natural motion.
Training Preview This unique feature gives you a preview of what you will accomplish prior to starting your workout. Whether you are doing a manual workout and any of the Preset Programs, you will get a preview of Time, Distance, Calories, MPH/KPH, Total Strides and Strides/minute. The HC 820 ensures you will achieve your fitness goals prior to starting your workout.
Adjustable Program Intensity Enables the user to fine tune their workout by adjusting maximum Incline and maximum Resistance when setting up a Preset Program. The entire program will automatically reformat based on these new settings. The user has the ability customize a program that suites their fitness requirements.
Proper Feet Placement The foot pads are designed to accommodate all body types. Feet can be placed as close as 2” apart or as far as 7” apart. Natural positioning of the feet prevents stress on the hips and other joints.
Stride Direction Indicator The HC 820's Stride Direction Indicator gives a visual indication of stride direction whether forward or backward. It also flashes during certain workouts to advise the user to change directions.
In addition to the exclusive features found on the HC 810, the HC 820 offers:
Race Challenge Program 5K race that stores any one of 3 users Fastest Time and the overall Best Time recorded on the machine. The race includes a variety of terrains with varying resistance levels.
Quick Start Saves the users favorite program. This can be any of the factory, heart rate or custom programs. Just press the Quick Start button and GO!
Target Heart Rate Program This program uses Incline and Resistance to keep the user in their chosen target zone. Other machines can only offer resistance changes!
Interval Heart Rate Program The user can program a custom interval workout. The heart rate, time, max resistance, and max incline can be set for the Rest period as well as the Interval period. Again, the machine uses combinations of both resistance and incline to get the user into their Rest and Interval zones.
Fat Burn Heart Rate Program Provides the user with a new random fat burn program every time they do the workout. Due to the variation in terrains with every workout the machine uses resistance to keep the user in the fat burn zone.
Precise Heart Rate Targets The HC 820 determines heart rate zones based on the Age/Weight Predicted Maximum Heart Rate Formula. This accurate formula calculates the users maximum heart rate based on the users weight, age and gender. Other machines calculate maximum heart rate only based on age.
Custom Programming

The HC 820 offers 2 custom programs. The user can create custom programs based on either Time or Distance with up to 120 changes over a 2 hour period.
