Product Description
Work it out with the Spartan Sports elliptical trainer, which features magnetic resistance and 8-level tension control.
Ok, so I received my elliptical today… My fiancée put it together for me in less than an hour. The machine itself is small which is great if you have space limitations… Ok, now on to the nitty gritty… The machine is compact so if you’re tall, this may be too small. The stride is ok for me and I’m 5’3. Weight wise, on some sites, the machine is advertised as good for people who weigh 225, other sites say 200. I weigh 165 and the machine rocks from side to side. It’s not very sturdy but then again, I have it on my carpet which could be the problem or maybe it’s just no good for heavier folks. The other thing is that the foot pedals are pretty narrow and I find that the inside part of my ankle kept tapping the pedal (I wasn’t wearing shoes so this might also be part of the problem). The monitor portion on mine doesn’t work very well but it could be that it was damaged in transit (which I’ll be contacting the supplier about). Despite what may appear to be a poor review, I can honestly say I like the machine and do not regret the purchase. It’s nice and compact and it serves the purpose of getting some exercise in. Oh, and it does NOT squeak which seemed to have been a common complaint made about other ellipticals that I considered purchasing before I went with this one. Again, I only got this machine today but have already done two 30 minute workouts… Don’t expect a fancy elliptical like what they have at the gym and you won’t be disappointed. Overall, it’s a good machine for the price… If it breaks down on me tomorrow, I’ll be sure to update this review
Hope this helps!
