I want to pull the trigger on a machine for home and it's between this and an elliptical. Any reviews from the losers bench?

I don't own one but my gym has 4. It is a tough workout. 10 minutes on it and I am exhausted. I own an elliptical though and I love it.

I'd go for the elliptical myself. A treadclimber has more moving parts to worry about and, IMO, doesn't give as many options as the elliptical for working out. You can find stairs anywhere to walk, but the elliptical lets you work out different muscles by going forward, backward, and varying the intensity of both the foot and arm movements.

You both bring up great points. Hmmm... Finding an elliptical with a high weight capacity that doesn't break the bank is proving difficult.

Check out walmarts website. They have a lot of options. That's where I plan on buying mine

My husband bought me a nice one from a used sports equipment store. You may want to look at some used ones. A lot of people buy them and don't end up using them so they are practically new.

I thought the treadclimber mimicked the motion of an elliptical, stair climber and treadmill??

The only treadclimber I've seen was more like an escalator...an endless flight of stairs. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong machine?

I LOVE the tread climber!! So much better than the elliptical and you burn more calories in a shorter amount of time!!

It looks like a treadmill but goes up and down like an elliptical but is an actual belt. I dunno if that makes sense lol. But google it. It looks great!

I have a treadmill but, am interested in treadclimber when my treadmill dies but, I'm kinda clumsy. Titania, do you think I'd be ok? I read while on the treadmill and think I'd probably fall off the treadclimber if I weren't paying attention. What do you think?

I can't use the tread climber I'm too clumsy haha. Lissa maybe you are thinking of the stair master?

I can't concentrate on the up and down and the moving parts at the same time hahaha.

My mom used to call me Grace when I was little because I have no coordidination at all lol!!! I did find it awkward at first but after a couple of minutes I got the hang of it. And you can control how far the tracks go up and down. I really enjoyed using it compared to the elliptical or the treadmill...something different and I liked the fact that it burned more calories. They have them at the 24 hour fitness where I live. If they have one near you try getting a free guest pass then you could try it out before you buy it

Yeah, they make great places to hang up clothes

I got one and realized how bored stiff I was using it, even watching TV while doing it I would get soooo bored. I joined a gym and swim now which for some reason I am OK with - not bored at all.
