The Agile DMT stand for Dynamic Motion Trainer which as its name implies functions as a motion trainer as well. It offers 12 biomechanically-correct motions that can be used in combination with this model's 20 resistance levels and 6 stride length positions. This would allow you to target different muscle groups giving you better and faster results.

19" - 24" adjustable stride

The Agile DMT gives you 6 stride length positions letting you choose what's comfortable for you. This is ideal if you have multiple users in your home that varies in stature. This adjustable feature would also allow you to train different muscle groups depending on the stride lengths you choose.

Comes with fans, mp3 player support, and wireless chest strap

This elliptical comes with a bundle of features you'd expect from a high-end elliptical machine. It has a built-in cooling fan when you want to cool down, allows you to connect you iPod or MP3 player to its speakers so you can listen to your favorite workout music, and it includes a wireless heart rate monitor that gives you a more reliable pulse feedback.

Lite Touch Thumb Control

This feature allows you to change the elliptical's settings by simply sliding your thumb over the infrared sensor mounted on the moving handlebars. This feature that is unique to Smooth earned the Agile DMT bonus marks in our score cards.

356-lb machine with a 400-lb user weight capacity

If you weigh close to 400lbs., you don't have to worry if this machine can support your weight since it's also heavy at 356lbs. It's very rare to see elliptical machines this heavy ensuring you get a very smooth and safe workout experience.

Cons

Ergonomic pedals only, no cushioning or adjustable feature

Although the Agile DMT's pivoting foot pedals are ergonomic in design, we would have wanted to see more enhancements like cushioning or adjustable features. Since this machine has offered so much in terms of features, additional enhancements on it foot pedals wouldn't hurt and would indeed be very welcome. 

No incline and reverse stride feature

This model scored high in almost all categories except for the incline and reverse stride feature that it's not offering. But since this elliptical also functions as a motion trainer, these 2 features may really not be needed since this machine is different in design. Still, we give low or appropriate marks for unknown or unstated information on these features.
