In a text about a hotel

Que ce soit dès le matin ou en fin de journée pour entretenir votre forme rejoignez gratuitement notre salle fitness, de nombreux appareils professionnels de sport tels que tapis de course, rameurs, vélos et autres ellipteurs vous attendent puis délassez-vous dans un bain de vapeur dans notre hammam ou faite une séance de sauna.

I have absolutely no idea what an 'éllipteur' is.
