Smooth Agile DMT Review

One of the problems with the fitness equipment industry is a lack of innovation.  There really isn't much going on.  The exception is a new product from Smooth Fitness, called the Smooth Agile DMT. 

Although similar in many ways to an elliptical trainer, it has several unique features that make it more of a hybrid.  In fact, when I talked to Smooth about their new product, they did not call it an elliptical, but rather a "Dynamic Motion Trainer."

The Smooth Agile DMT expands upon the limited elliptical motion of a cross trainer by offering twelve distinct motions.  This variety allows you to exercise more muscle groups, and tone more of your body. 

Elliptical trainers are often touted as providing a total body workout.  That is a false assumption.  Although you do work out both the upper and lower body, you are exercising very limited parts of each. 

The variety of motion found on the Smooth Agile DMT allows you to concentrate of different muscles, consequently you are able to tone parts of your body you may have unintentionally ignored in the pass. 

By mixing up both the forward and reverse motion of the Agile, you can build and tone your quadriceps, glutes, calves, hamstrings, arms, shoulders, chest and back. 

Another benefits of the Smooth Agile DMT is the fact you get a more intense workout in less time.  So often I noticed how people in the gym are just going through the motions on an elliptical trainer.  They are barely breaking a sweat.  The Dymanic Motion Training of the Agile get your cardio going and burns calories more efficiently. 

Furthermore, the DMT design further reduces the strain and stress to your joints.  Elliptical trainer definitely have less impact than a treadmill, however, the continual repetitive motion does strain your knees and ankles.  With the Smooth Agile you get a more intensive workout without increasing the impact by changing up the motion.

Here is the downside of the Smooth Agile DMT - it is not cheap.  Price varies from $3,500 - $4,000.  However, you are getting a commercial grade machine that weighs 390 lbs.  This is not the kind of fitness toys you find at sporting goods stores. 

For those that can afford a machine that will give a thorough physical workout in a minimal amount of time, the Smooth Agile DMT is worth considering.   You can check out my complete review at my Elliptical Trainer Review site.
