The Volksgym VG-63EA is a seated elliptical trainer — combining the low-impact, full-body motion of an elliptical cross trainer with the comfort and stability of a built-in adjustable seat. This dual-position design lets you train standing (traditional elliptical stride) or seated (recumbent-style pedalling), making it one of the most versatile cardio machines in Volksgym's home range for users who need seated training options.

Why a seated elliptical matters

Standard standing ellipticals work well for healthy users, but they're challenging for people with balance concerns, lower-back pain, or post-surgical rehabilitation needs. The VG-63EA's adjustable seat lets these users train in a stable, supported position while still getting the joint-friendly pedalling motion that makes ellipticals superior to treadmills for low-impact cardio.

The seated position also targets muscles differently — emphasising the glutes and hamstrings more than the standing stride. Alternating between standing and seated training within a single session provides a more complete lower-body workout than either position alone.

Technical specifications

Who should buy the VG-63EA

• Users with balance or mobility limitations — the adjustable seat provides stable, supported cardio training without requiring standing balance. Safe for older adults, post-surgical patients, and anyone with vertigo or balance-affecting conditions.
• Rehabilitation users — seated low-impact pedalling is one of the safest cardiovascular exercises post knee replacement, hip surgery, or lower-back injury. The magnetic resistance starts very light for gentle rehab protocols.
• Users who want training variety — switch between standing elliptical strides and seated recumbent pedalling within the same session. Two training positions on one machine footprint.
• Heavier users up to 130 kg — the seated position distributes weight differently than standing, reducing stress on the frame. At 130 kg capacity, the VG-63EA handles most users comfortably in both positions.

VG-63EA vs VG-62EA vs VG-38EA: which seated elliptical?

The VG-63EA is the top-tier seated model: heavier flywheel for smoother motion and higher weight capacity. For lighter users (under 110 kg) on a tighter budget, the VG-38EA or VG-62EA deliver the same seated/standing dual-position concept at AED 700 less.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this without the seat?

Yes. The VG-63EA works as a conventional standing elliptical cross trainer. The seat is adjustable and can be positioned out of the way during standing use. Many users start sessions standing and switch to seated when they tire — extending total workout time without stopping.

Is a 5 kg flywheel heavy enough?

For seated pedalling at moderate intensities, 5 kg provides adequate smoothness. Standing at high cadences, you may notice slightly less fluid motion compared to the VG-7S (8 kg flywheel, AED 3,799). The VG-63EA optimises for versatility (seat + standing) rather than pure standing stride quality.
