We bought this elliptical two years ago, mainly because it was cheap. You get what you pay for, right? Well, we thought we had gotten a deal, because for one year, this elliptical worked fantastic!! Unfortunately, it only lasted one year. After about 10 mos of using it, it started getting very creaky when in use, and at almost exactly 12 months from the date we purchased it, the sleeve split wh...

The Horizon Series E95 Elliptical Cross trainer is an elliptical that is available currently on the market as a moderate to high end priced elliptical. The machine is easy to assemble, it only took us about an hour out of the box to put together with minimal confusion. The setup and use was the easy part, the machine has easy push button controls to adjust the resistance, time length and diffic...

I recently had a chance to try the Precor EFX 5.37 elliptical trainer.  Although I didn’t exactly know what I was doing, and it needed adjusting to fit me better, I enjoyed the experience much more than a treadmill.I really hate indoor exercise equipment. Send me outside any day instead!  That said, my husband and I were recently at a hotel and he wanted to exercise so I said th...

I got to try this elliptical trainer at a gym, although it is designed for home use, as I was told. Precor EFX 5.21i has 6 pre-programmed workouts to choose from, where the machine will change speed and resistance for you as you exercise. You can also do that manually. There are 20 resistance levels, so if you are a beginner you can start at the easiest one and then work your way up. You ca...

NordicTrack AudioStrider is called so because of the following feature: it has a stereo sound system on the console, and you can connect your MP3 or CD player to it. Those who like listening to music as they work out will perhaps appreciate it, but I personally did not think it was a big deal. I like music too, but what's wrong with listening to my player through earphones, as usual?? On to ...

How can you own your very own elliptical for less than $200 you ask?  It's on sale at Sears for $199!  Well, with tax it will push you over the $200 but, at least your purchase price is below.  Okay I'll stop sounding like an infomercial.  My husband & I were looking to purchase something that is not budget breaking but, more exciting than our...

When I was younger I suffered a serious back injury. Since then, it's been very easy to hurt my back, because I have arthritis. This has made it difficult for me to find a workout that didn't hurt my back. After seeing the Gazelle on TV, I decided that it would probably be my best option.When I first got my Gazelle Edge Trainer, I found the workout so easy I actually worked out too much...

I have owned my elliptical for a little over 3 years now.  I have been impressed with it's durability.  I initially chose it because the stride wasn't too wide like many elliptical machines I tried.  I am quite short, and some of the machines just seemed too big for me.  My husband is over six feet tall, and the stride is comfortable for him.My biggest complaint abou...

School, Work, Family, friends and extra curricular activities.  These really occupies your daily time after  the end of the day you are very tired and not feel like going to the gym at all. School really occupied a lot of my time so I don't have a lot of time to drive to the gym for extra 40 minutes a day round trip.  So, my husband and I decided to buy an elliptical machine ...

We've owned a few treadmills and each of them ended up dying quickly.  When my knees started to bug me, then we started to think about getting an elliptical.  We wanted to invest wisely this time so that we wouldn't need to purchase a new one 6 mos down the road.  We talked with the salesperson about our concerns and he recommended the Precor EFX 5.23.We are really enjoyi...

 This is my favorite piece of exercise equipment. This elliptical was at my local gymn. I liked it so much that I had to purchase one. I like the elliptical better than a treadmill because it is easier on your knees. This machine has to place to plug in your MP3 Player which I like alot because I enjoy listening to music while I work out. It helps get me motivated. It also has se...

  I am not a fitness guru nor am I really fit.  I bought an elliptical trainer in an effort to lose weight.  I have a treadmill that collects dust.  The reason I decided on the elliptical is that I don't feel it is as boring as the treadmill, plus I thought if I could watch tv as I exercised, I would be more likely to exercise.  I went to two sporting goods sto...

We looked at manny different models of ellipticals before purchasing this Sole modle. We decided on this one because it had the best features and fit both my husband and I's body the best. My husband put it together himslef in about an hour and a half. He had no problems with it, but it was very heavy! We had to use a dolly to get it in the house and down the stairs. There's not way two...

Horizon Fitness elliptical machine horizon advantage quiet drive has many key features.  For one it gives you the benefits of a fitness center in the comforts of your own home.  While it is rather baulky in stature it has a nice stylish design that adds a sense of state of the art machinery to your home.  Instead of seeing some run down piece of fitness equipment this product loo...

I have tried a few other elliptical machines and have liked them a little better than this one.  But the one thing on this one that I am not certain that I am really happy about it the stride length.  It doesn't seem to be big enough.  I have long legs being 5ft 9in. but would like it to be a little longer.  Also I feel like I have to keep my knees at a strange bent angl...

The idea of an eliptical is to recieve a workout that is smooth and efficient, and not hard on the joints.  But, unfortunately, that is not present here. This machine makes a lot of noise, and clicks consistantly.  While the resistance is good (I got a good workout), the stability and smoothness is below par.  The screen had entertaining LCD lights, but that could not make up for...

My purchase of Tony Little's Gazelle Edge has proven to be a decent value.  Though the product is quite simple in comparison to the many other elliptical trainers, it provides me with a fast and effective workout which I may not usually get from simple aerobic exercise. The product assembly was very easy to follow.  I was able to have the equipment fully assembled in a reasonable ...

In the dorm I'm living at, they have this model of Elliptical in the fitness room. It is a pretty decent elliptical. One thing that I really like is that it is quiet. I like listening to music while I workout so if a machine is really loud it can get distracting. It also has a heart monitor but one thing that I do not like about it is that the heart monitors are only placed on the stationar...

This elliptical trainer is the smoothest I have been on.  It is very easy to use especially for a first timer.  There are stationary handles near the display monitor, as well as handles that move with your leg movements.  You would think that they make the workout easier cause your using your arms also, but it doesn't.  One minute on this machine and you can feel it in t...

After realizing that I spent most of my time at the gym using an elliptical trainer, I decided to purchase one for myself.  I tried many models and decided on the Horizon Kinetic Elliptical Trainer. This is an awesome elliptical trainer. Very solid, great quality at this price! The guiderails retract for easier storage, and features front wheels to allow you to move it easily. The han...
