I have used this machine everyday for 5 days for at least 20-30 minutes and have already lost almost 3 pounds and almost an inch off of my waist! I am an absolute bargain hunter and will not spend more than I have to for anything. I believe this is a great product for the price and I got mine on sale for only $99 at Modell’s! Certain things I don’t trust having shipped so that is probably why I didn’t have such a hard time others are. Sorry guys. It does exactly what its supposed to do. This product has been very good in performance. Smooth operation, not jarring. I use it primarily at night and it has not interrupted anyone’s sleep. The bike seat is a great addition. Helps me work my thighs well and keep my heart rate up if I do not feel like standing. I am 5′ 4″ and I am comfortable using the machine. I did reverse the handles contrary to the instructions because it felt like I was punching towards the floor. Now they tilt inward towards me to prevent that feeling. The elliptical has a small footprint, it takes up a little over half the length of a yoga mat that I have it on. It has made a little more noise after a few days but a little WD-40 solved that problem. Thankfully I did not have an issue with any missing parts. Deal with a reputable seller and you will not be disappointed in the product for those of you looking for a good value. I gave it four stars for a not so accurate calorie counter since calories burnt vary from person to person. I use a heart monitor for that, now I just use the computer for the clock to keep my workout time.

I thought this exercise bike would be perfect. I wanted an elliptical and a bike, and it’s both. So I thought “yes!” But the truth of it is, I never got to use it. It was damaged in shipping, and honestly I don’t know if I would have been able to put the thing together even if it hadn’t been. The basic hull (fan motor) was already assembeled, but everything else was in a jumble of pieces. I’m a pretty smart cookie, but it wasn’t packaged in any logical way, and you need an entire room of floor space just to layout all of the pieces. I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone who is direction-challenged or someone who just wants to get the thing and start exercising.

Not realizing that the shipping could be an issue, I ordered the Body Rider and eagerly anticipated it’s arrival. I was sadly disappointed to find the plastic housing which covers the wheel mechanism to be cracked when I uncrated all the parts. My concern was that it was more than cosmetic, but I might have pressed on, if I hadn’t found that the bubble cover on the hardware card had come apart, so that all of the hardware for assembly was freely dispersed through the box. After I gathered all of that up, I found that some of the washers were missing. I have no desire to be a fitness machine repair shop, finding the correct hardware to make up for what was missing, so I returned the unit. Since it was out of stock I could not get a replacement (although I would be hesitant given my experience), so I have asked for a refund, which, four weeks later, has not been completed. I would recommend that there be additional padding for plastic parts, and that the bubble card for hardware be enclosed in some zipper type plastic bag.

I am a little dissapointed in this product because I checked out several other elliptical trainers before purchasing this one. They all mentioned that you had to have very long arms to use them. This one did’nt mention that specific problem, however, I am a short person, and I can hardly use this trainer because I have short arms also. I think you would have to be part monkey to be comfortable using this product. I will make the best of it because I cannot afford to waste $150. 00.

This was compact and inexpensive, just what I needed. I didn’t want to spend hundreds for an elliptical if I was only going through an exercise phase. It was easy to put together, although I would use your own tools and not the ones it comes with. I love the seat. I can sit when my legs really start to burn without having to stop completely. It’s a great starter machine. I would recommend it.
