I want to buy one...but don't want to spend over $1000, preferrably less. But...I also want to get one that is sturdy, and fairly easy to assemble, and doesn't take up too much space.
Anyone have any ideas? I have checked on Comsumer Reports, but that is as far as I've gotten.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! lol!

There’s nothing like a good challenge to keep a person motivated My little Princess. Variety and challenge are what make elliptical trainers so popular as inclusions in home or even gym settings for creating workouts that are fun and keeping them that way. When looking to buy one of these diversified machines, however, it pays to compare elliptical machine offerings and ratings before settling on a particular elliptical make and model.

it’s a good idea to take a look at elliptical trainer ratings. Find out what the professional reviewers have said about different machines and also pay close attention to ratings given by previous customers. Those who actually use the machines on a regular basis for their own training might have some insight professionals can’t provide in their ratings. Take a look at the ratings and compare the different features machines in your price range offer. If you’re looking for a total or nearly total body workout, there’s almost nothing out there that can compare to a good elliptical. These machines provide buyers with an array of different options, oftentimes combining the benefits of a treadmills, a stepper, a rower and even a cross-country trainer into one purchase. If you’re planning on buying an elliptical fitness machine soon, decide what options are important for you and start looking for ratings and reviews on models that meet these options and fall into your price range.

Once you’ve decided on an elliptical training model, the next step in making a final choice should be reading the fine print. Check the machines you’re considering buying for their warranty options, manufacturer reputations and overall customer satisfaction. If you check into ratings and reviews in advance of buying and compare those findings with your own personal needs, you’re likely to find the best elliptical machine to buy!

Now Princess I hope this will help you out a bit. And I wish you good luck in whatever you buy. ...And a very good evening to you my love xoxo



May the year a head be filled with joy and happiness..

You want a big fly wheel that will provide a full range of motion. The little wheels (on the cheaper machines) don't provide as much of a work-out. I have a Reebok one that I paid about $700 for but it was neither easy to assemble nor space-saving.

The treadmill is greater good on your knees yet burns greater energy. i might basically run exterior except it is too warm or too chilly or raining. The Eliptical is far less no longer ordinary on knees yet from time to time your ft visit sleep.

wow! the guy above me sure is motivated!!! ( that did not sound right!!) lol, anyway, I personally would go with a bowflex. But to answer the question, I would also go with a bowflex eliptical walker thing. It inclines and is like a treadmill/eliptical trainer. That is my dream excersize machine.

You should go to a local gym get a day pass if you are not already a member. Try them out. The ones at the gym are top of the line. However ask a worker there, sometimes they can let you know where you can get one at a discounted price.
