About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.
Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won’t strain sensitive joints.
I am really suprised they deleted my review of 1 star on this item. I did try to raise it to 3 stars considering the the good technology they had put in this machine. In fairness to others that would like to hear from others that didn’t rate it that high. I would like to republish my experience again. It was a good machine but the difficulty I had was the the stride length that does not seem to go as far as the available 26″ available due to the need to make the extra effort to push it to it’s limits. As you would notice an immediate relief just stepping off it and in to a schwinn 430 of 18″ stride length only. As I was comparing them next to each other. I actually returned the 430 earlier due to it’s stride length feeling short for me. Hoping the available 26″ stride in the 460 would feel better. Suprisingly the 430 felt longer since the 18″ stride is avalable end to end of the 18″ unlike the variable stride length that makes it shorter at times because it is not fixed. Trying to keep it to under a $1000 on my purchase but the only resolution I got was when I went upto the sole E35 2009 model which is worth the extra $300.

I got this machine online and it came up with no power supply. I’ve tried to call customer support many times and they are either closed or they never pick up the line. I was put on hold for over 1 hour and that is because my cell battery died.
I don’t even have the info to return this machine. I wish I had bought it at a store so I could get customer service. Beware, their customer service is indicative of how much they care about their reputation.

Unit was easy to assemble,fourth day of use the screen locked up and displayed an E-2 code. Spoke with Nautilus, they said the cable from the screen to the base was defective, sent a new one, had to disassemble the mast to install it. Second week of use: when I pluged the unit into an outlet the machine starts making a loud clunking noise in the base. This issue has not been resolved yet. The base is pre-assembled so it’s not an owner assembly problem.

This piece of equipment is well built and sturdy. the screen is fine and has good programs to choose from. The big downside is that I purchased this expecting the arms and legs to be attached to the resistance flywheel but they aren’t. Meaning the way these are build is that the pedals have an arched CAM and as you pedal foward in a small adjustable radius you are basically pedalling a bike while standing. then as you increase the radius-(eliptical stride) the pedals then float out further from the CAM. So basically it is a bike with large pedals that ajust your stride. Arm workout? forget about it. if you push hard with 1 arm that sides foot will go forward or backwards faster then the other foot and the only resistence that arm gets is the resistance you foot gives is. so the machine does not provide any arm resistance. and the legs are independant-so one leg can be using a wide stride radius and the other can be a small. this all adds up to a choppy and uncomfortable ride. and you can not get it to go faster than 60rpms. because the harder you push the pedals seem to go wild. It is like a gazelle mixed with a eliptical.
The only good aspect of this machine is that if you pedal backwards and hold the arms still you can simulate a stair stepper machine.
by far the cheapest and worst adjustable stride machine out there.

I bought this machine from Amazon based on positive reviews and because I like some of the other Schwinn ellipticals.
I recieved the machine very quickly but right away I did not like it. It was very uncomfortable and felt too jerky. When I tried to put out maximum effort it felt like it was going to fall apart with me on top of it and I only weigh 135 pounds! This is the machine for someone who wants to just walk and watch tv, not someone who wants do a full throttle work out with maximum effort. Also, the different strides were a bit uncomfortable and I had a lot of cramping in my lower legs.
My advice is to not buy this machine unless you have already tried it and dont mind possibly losing $200 in fees if you get it and decide to send it back. At first I thought Amazon was going to charge me a restocking fee and a return shipping fee but they didn’t. This whole mess only cost me about $50 but I was lucky.
Look into Sole machines as they are much more sturdy and more like a machine you would find in a gym. Amazon sells these machines as well and they are much better than this one.
