I love this elliptical trainer – the best part? It’s completely SILENT! You can park it in front of the TV – watch your favorite show – and get a workout! How many products can you say that about?
If you’re looking for an exercise that’s easy to use, doesn’t require dressing up & going to the gym (I hate getting ready for the gym!) and when you’re done working out – you’re DONE! No driving, nothing….it’s over and you can get on with your day!
If that’s you….this is for you!

I would start by saying it is bigger than it looks. It fits under my coffee table, but just barely. It is heavy and substantial. Going forward, it has a short stride, and feels more like a cross between an elliptical and a stair stepper. It’s a bit jerky. If you do a backward stride, it is a comfortable glide. You can turn the machine around, but it pulls on the shins a bit. I wouldn’t be able to balance on this by myself while using it, but it works in a doorway. You could also put it by a pony wall to balance. I have also used it sitting, like a cycle, and it works okay that way. (It helps to prop it up in front.) It’s versatile and easy to store, so my only gripe is the jerky forward stride. (My 6 year-old also loves this…he’ll use it for 5 to 10 minutes, and thinks it is fun.)

Just got my pink elliptical. It took me about 15 minutes to assemble. There’s not much to assemble just screwing on the two pieces of the base and the black paddles. I had a big treadmill before, but I had to keep it in the guest room. It took up too much space and there was no TV in site, so it eventually became an object to hang my clothes on, then I got rid of it. I wanted something small enough to place in front of my TV that’s quiet and gives me a moderate cardiac workout. This is it! It’s a bit too tall to fit under my bed, and I have a regular size bed. It’s a bit awkward to use at first. You have to balance yourself and hold on to something. Follow the safety instructions. Step on the lower paddle first. I really like the fact that it has an electronic meter that is easy to use. Nothing too technical. It just has ONE button that you just keep hitting to see how many strides you took (which it is great so that you can challenge yourself by increasing the number of strides from day to day). If you hit the button again, you’ll see the amount of calories you burned. It hit again and you can see how much time you took. NOTE: It does say in the manual that the weight limit is 250 pounds. This is a great little machine! This might be a keeper.

I’ve used this for a few months now. I’ve used it probably 10 times and I weigh over 200 lbs and it has been great.You do have to balance, but once you’ve gotten it down it’s not hard (like riding a bike). When I first start out it doesn’t feel like I’m doing much but after 5 minutes my quads and calves and buns are burning and I start to sweat. It’s a great 30 minute workout and it’s easier on my knees than running on a treadmill. It’s quiet and portable and I haven’t had any problems with it. I don’t really use the timer on the machine. Usually calorie counters are based on average weighted people and I would rather look at a clock than a little timer between my feet, but I’ve read complaints that the counter doesn’t reset. I’m not really counting steps, just minutes and it works great. The steps are smaller than a gym elliptical, but I think it works just great. Smaller, controlled movements seem to work you out better anyway most of the time. Sometimes I add weights or make large arm movements and that ups the workout just that much more and actually helps with balance. I really recommend this elliptical. For the money and the size you get a great workout machine.

I am loving this elliptical. I just got it today. It took my boyfriend like 10 minutes to put it together, I hopped on it, danced while doing it and got a great workout in only 20 minutes. I liked it so much I jumped back on for another 20 minutes, and plan on getting back on it for 20 more. It is very light, small, silent and very sturdy. If you want a good workout without spending a bunch of money on the real thing, this is the way to go!
