I started using this machine at Planet Fitness and noticed that you burn way more calories than the Elliptical machine. Has anyone used this machine before? If so, how do you calculate it. I can't seem to find it under "Exercise"

    ahhh BUMP, I have also been using this new machine at planet fitness! I havent found anything close to it, so i made my own Exercise and just called it "The Arc" and manually enter in my burned calories as the machine says.

    That's a good idea....I have been manipulating the Elliptical until it gives me my deserved calorie count. I like yours better! Isn't that machine amazing!?! :-)

    Love the Arc Trainer at my gym. The elliptical sometimes hurts my knees, but the Arc is awesome.

    I had to start putting in my weight to get the calories burned on the machine. Then on MFP I use the elliptical option but change the calories burned to what the arc trainer had on it after my workout.

    I LOVE the Arc Trainer @ PLANET FITNESS! I have been going 5 days a week, and burning 800 calories in an hour each day. I think this is pretty good, but it's a workout for me, so that's all that matters.
