   I have used this machine at my gym for the past several months and it is incredible. I wish I could afford to have one at my home. It is low impact and does just about everything…you can use it as a stair climber, a regular elliptical – or because of it’s stride length – you can use it as a treadmill and feel as though you’re running underwater! The arm handles are useful and provide quite a bit of resistance. You can also jog without the handles and really target your core. I have been a spin bike lover for years. However, I love this machine because I can blast 400 calories in 30 minutes! It is truly incredible. I’m so glad my gym has one.

   High quality, the last machine you’ll ever buy, April 17, 2014

   This is a commercial quality machine, and for that, it costs a fortune. And if you are wondering why there are so many elliptical machines for sale on Craig’s list, it’s because people buy a cheaper machine and grow tired of the squeaks, rubs, and flimsy feeling construction.

   I did have an Octane, a rather highly rated and well made elliptical. But, it has only so many possible motions and it did suffer from some electronic glitches in the brake motor.

   So, after doing a lot of research, and trying many different machines, I took the plunge on this device.

   Home installation may be possible for the “do it your selfer”, but the machine weighs about 450 pounds and is a bear to maneuver. The footprint is actually smaller than a typical elliptical, but the device itself is a solid monster that is hard to push, tilt, or move.

   So, I had professionals move it in, set it up, and color me happy.

   I bike in the good weather, and this machine allows a motion that is almost identical to out of the saddle hill climbing on a bike.

   It can be a stair stepper, or just a long stride elliptical. And it has a long stride that is greater than almost any other machine and to give a good forward and backward stretch.

   And it is expensive. The store I purchased it from did allow some bargaining on installation costs and the final price, so I saved a fair amount.

   However, having used it now for almost two months, I am convinced it will be the single piece of exercise equipment that stays with me for the years to come.

   So, if there is a desire to avoid the constant unhappiness with machines that seem to get boring, having limitations, or just don’t provide a variety… and the quality is suspect. I would not hesitate to recommend this device.
