Body Rider Fan Elliptical Trainer Review

This elliptical was one of my Christmas gifts to myself. It works good although it does tend to squeak a lot after you have used it numerous times. Nothing D-W 40 can't fix though. It's sturdy and gives a good work out. It was very easy to assemble and is very light. The one thing I really like about it though is that it's not heavy and it can be easily moved from one room to another if need be.

Proform Razor 400 ES Elliptical Trainer Review

Proform Razor 400 ES Elliptical Trainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased a Proform 400 series elliptical in December. Since December I have not had a properly working machine. It malfunctioned the first time I tried to use the machine. It was incorrectly assembled by Proform manufacturing and within the first use, I had an electrical malfunction. I made several attempts to contact their customer service (which is by far the worst customer service I have ever dealt with). After days of attempting to contact them and several times of being on hold up to hours at a time, I finally was able to have a service tech come out to take a look at the machine. Within three days of that malfunction being corrected a new problem began. I am a consistent exerciser and thought I could get away this time with buying a cheaper machine. Wrong, the only thing that is thinner is my wallet and the carpet where my broken machine still rests. Bottom line, poorly manufactured equipment and by far the worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

The Razor 400 ES starts with a blue-tinted LCD display that tracks your time, speed, distance, pulse, carbs, and calories burned. As a result, it's easy to monitor your workout progress. The trainer's six personal trainer workouts, meanwhile, take the guesswork out of your routine by automatically adjusting the resistance for increased intensity.

The Razor 400 ES even includes a Target Pacer light, so you'll know when it's time to work a little harder or slow it down.
Other features include an adjustable Ergo Stride system (between 12 and 16 inches); built-in EKG heart rate monitor sensors in the handlebars; a CoolAire workout fan; 10 digital resistance levels; and a 250-pound user capacity. The Razor 400 ES carries a five-year warranty on the frame and a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
About ProForm When most people hear the name ProForm, they automatically think of treadmills. That's because in its early days ProForm revolutionized the treadmill industry with its now-world-famous SpaceSaver foldaway design. ProForm continues its tradition of quality and innovation today, with cutting-edge advances in cushioning, electronics, and reliability. Fortunately, ProForm wasn't satisfied with treadmills, unveiling a complete line of exercise bikes, elliptical machines, weight benches, and more--all geared to providing the most effective workout available.

Confidence Fitness 2-in-1 Elliptical Trainer with Seat Review

I really loved that this item was both a bike and an elliptical machine, at such an awesome price. I wasn't very certain that it would be sturdy, etc because it is so inexpensive. But I am pleasantly surprised. However, the only reason that I am rating this four stars is that it took me three hours to put together. The directions are extremely hard to follow.

Enjoy a total body workout without leaving the home with this Confidence two-in-one elliptical cross trainer and exercise bike. Designed to provide a low-impact cardiovascular workout for all family members regardless of ability level, the trainer is ideal for event training, rehabilitation, and plain-old cardio fitness. At first glance, the unit resembles a standard elliptical trainer, with a pair of footpads that move in a natural elliptical motion, along with a set of arm poles that move in conjunction with your legs. The smooth, fluid movement will tone your arms, chest, back, hips, legs, and glutes while providing a low-impact workout that's five times as efficient as walking. The trainer's a step above most units, however, thanks to the addition of an adjustable seat, which adds more variety to your workouts. As a result, you can turn your trainer into an upright exercise bike and exercise while standing or sitting. The trainer also strides in both forward and reverse to add even more variety.
The Confidence trainer includes an adjustable resistance dial to keep you challenged, along with a four-function onboard computer that tracks your time, speed, distance, and calories. And at 34 by 60 by 24 inches (W x H x D), the trainer won't take up a ton of room in your basement or garage. The Confidence two-in-one trainer offers a maximum capacity of 250 pounds and weighs 65 pounds by itself.

This elliptical trainer was another surprise for us (when you compare with other people's experiences). When we ordered it we were told it will take 4 to 6 weeks to arrive. The surprise: one week, good packaging again, nothing missing inside, no problem putting it together.
It works the way was meant to work. Good for average exercisers and has a seat to be used as a bicycle. Listed on Amazon for a max of 220 lbs weight for a person, but the manual lists it for 250 lbs max, which is good for me. It is a good construction, no noise, no wobbling.

Save your self a real problem and find an Elliptical machine elsewhere. Very poorly packaged the owners manual is mostly a parts list no contact or warranty information. (not that it will do you any good they'll only want to sell you parts act fast it's a one month Limited warranty) Multi function display that has no operational instruction. Plastic parts crushed in shipping a tension adjustment knob useless doesn't adjust an irritable noise coming from the resistant wheel assembled at the mfg. Finally I found contact info. I called for assistance Mandy answers turns out she is the technician, parts department oh receptionist absolutely no help. I asked about the noise she said to take it apart and inspect it for defect. She refused to replace the broken plastic parts. There web site says the lowest price the highest quality really lowest quality and a waste of your money. I have since read numerous reviews all experience some kind of noise, two left feet, broken parts just like the problem that I've had just seems that I got them all. You know if they don't include contact information on the instruction there's a problem, embarrassment?

Weslo Momentum CT 5.9 Elliptical Trainer Review

Weslo Momentum CT 5.9 Elliptical Trainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This elliptical trainer has worked very well. You do have to retighted the screws after initial use. Then it works GREAT! It has been providing everything that I was looking for in a home elliptical. My husband even stated he wants to start using it. If you are looking for a sensible price for a well-working machine this is it. Plan to spend 3-4 hours putting it together. Read the directions and study the photos very close before installing any screws or you will be removing and re-installing them! One step in the installation is taking two pieces apart, which was not show or explained. This is the two covers that go on the right and left arm pieces. The rear stabilization bar can be installed in reverse, so be aware of that. Otherwise, installation was ok, I just didn't read and study it close enough. The picture graph that came with the screw box was a very good aide. Orient it with the box and it will go much quicker. All tools required were not provided, but, I only had to get two other tools from my supply. You will need two D cell batteries. If it becomes too much of a headache, a phone number is provided that you can call and set up an appointment for someone to come and put it together for you.

Phoenix Denise Austin 99120 Mini Stepper Plus Review

Phoenix Denise Austin 99120 Mini Stepper Plus
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have always wanted an elliptical trainer. But with limited space, I found a mini-stepper to be a good alternative. I have done a lot of research and read reviews from Amazon, and seems that this is a more reliable stepper. After 1 day of use, here are my findings:
Pros:
-It arrived pre-assembled. All you need is to remove the plastic, put together the resistance knob (see Cons below), cord, and meter.
-Some mentioned the paddles being too small. I wear 7 1/2 and the paddles are more than I need.
-Space-saving
-Good resistance for a starter for low-impact workout. I want to focus on my tummy, hip, and thighs, and this stepper provides what I need.
-Meter is simple to use, I know when I can have my next cookie
Cons:
-The knob that is supposed to tighten the resistance cord gets loosen up fairly quickly. I haven't used it long enough to tell, but it seems to work best if you were to stay on it consecutively. This is my biggest disappointment.
-It's squeaky (just a little)
For under $70, I can avoid the rain and sweaty equipment in gym. Good low-impact workout.

Exercise both your lower and upper body in one fluid routine with the Denise Austin Mini Stepper Plus. The Mini Stepper Plus is easy to use, with a pair of cabled resistance handles that work most of your upper body muscle groups, along with a pair of steps to work the lower body. Once on board, you can enjoy a vigorous full-body cardiovascular workout without neglecting your all-important arm, chest, and shoulder muscles. The Mini Stepper Plus relies on dual hydraulic cylinders to provide the resistance, along with an electronic monitor (includes two AA batteries) to track such details as the workout time, step count, strides per minute, and calories burned. And thanks to the ultra-compact design, the Mini Stepper Plus is easy to store when not in use. Other details include a heavy-duty steel frame that holds up to years of use, a smooth pulley design for quiet operation, and a maximum weight limit of 250 pounds. The Mini Stepper Plus--which is endorsed by Denise Austin, one of America's premier fitness authorities--measures 18.5 by 7.1 by 12 inches (W x H x D) and carries a 90-day warranty on parts and a one-year warranty on the frame.

Marcy Elliptical Trainer Review

I was trying to loose my baby weight and get back in shape after having our son and my (exercise addicted) brother-in-law said an elliptical was the best way to get your cardio in and burn calories. I researched for a couple weeks trying to decide which one to buy. I didn't want to spend too much just in case it became a coat rack as most exercise equipment ends up becoming. I also didn't want anything too huge because we have a small(ish) house. I finally decided on this one and am extremely satisfied with it. It was a little of a pain to put together, took me and my husband about an hour, but we kind of expected it to be. It has large foot pedals which is good because your feet tend to slip and seems very sturdy. After 3 months of (almost) daily use by 2 or more people it is still working great. It is relatively quiet (no squeaking) and moves smoothly. I like that you can change the resistant levels throughout your workout. You can really tell the difference when you move up a level! You do have to tighten the screws every now and then as they will start to loosen with the movement (we have only had to tighten them twice in three months). The only complaint is the computer calorie counter is WAY off. It says you burn like 1400 calories in 10 min which is hard to believe. Overall a great workout and great product.

I've had this unit since Jan 06. It has surpassed my expectations on almost every level.
It's heavy...you'll need help offloading from the truck and getting it into your home.
It's easy to assemble, once you realize there is no parts bag because all the connectors are in their respective slots and holes.
It's smooth as silk, barely audible when cranking at 110+ RPM's.
The computer readout is almost too much for me, as all I need to know is the workout level, elapsed time and RPM's. I've never even tried the pulse gizmo.
At 6' 1" the long stride (21") was the main reason I bought this unit, and it does not dissappoint. You can move your foot position fore and aft to highlight leg muscle groups or concentrate on the upper body.
This unit is more solidly built than the health club's machine. It doesn't rock or otherwise feel unstable in the slightest. It's a well thought-out, well executed design.
I started my excersize program from scratch, going for two days on and one day off. In two+ months I can almost do my entire 20 minute routine at level 3.
This beast should last me at least 15 years. I'll try to be at level 5 by then.

Body Champ BRM3600 Cardio Dual Trainer Review

Body Champ BRM3600 Cardio Dual Trainer
Average Reviews:

I'm 5'11" This has a very short stride length that to me felt like shuffling my feet back and forth and I did not get a good workout. (I've since bought a $400 Gold's Gym one that gets my HR to 140+ like at the gym, but this one I got about 90). Also, while main pieces are made of steel, the joints are poor, it wobbled and one piece broke on assembly - when assembling, the seat pole did not fit into base, and upon trying to apply mild pressure to get it in, the interior plastic meant to hold the seat pole broke loose, went into the base and now prevents the seat from sliding any lower than the highest position. During very first use, the screw holding on the left arm (which I'm a guy and tightened well) fell off. I screwed it in again, this time about as hard as I could turn it, it was loose already during next use. I'm about 200 lbs and without question this thing also wobbles and has a wobbly feel. So to me the short stride length, weak joints and overall poor workout make this a no go. I was going to throw it out but I gave it to a friend who is 5'5" and she is ok with the stride length. Not that she says it is great, but she's using it and it's ok. So I've amended my review to 2 stars and I guess if you can't afford $400 and are 5'5" or less you can get some kind of workout but I still would not recommend it. The $400 Gold's Gym one gives a great workout and is so much more sturdy and quiet with no wobble it is far superior. I'd just highly recommend spending the extra money for that.
