I absolutely love Elliptical Machines and I want to purchase one for home. I found one online called the Reebok RL 900 Elliptical Machine. I can't find any reviews @ all for this particular Elliptical Machine. Is anyone familiar w/this brand?

Does anyone know of any particular brands they can recommend? This is the 1st piece of large exercise equipment that I have ever purchased that needs to be put together. I am wondering are there people you can hire to put these things together or should if be simple enough for me to put together. Also, I am wondering if I move, will I have to take it apart or is it moveable.

Oh, and I am looking for a machine that has a 350 lb capacity. And if anyone is interested, I found this one on Amazon and they have the free shipping thing going on.

Thanks!!!

I bought a Nordic Track Elliptical last year. I did a lot of shopping around. If you love the elliptical machine at the gym which is most likely a Precor you really want to get the features you like about that. You definately get what you pay for. I looked for one with adjustable resistance and incline. I think I paid about $900 for it. I got it at sears and they delivered it and put it together.

i think mine is a proform.

i went to sears and spent a lot of time usuing all of theres.

Thanks a lot for replying. I will check out those machines.

The one that I am looking @ getting is on sale for $799.00 w/free shipping. I finally told some really good reviews on epinions.com. Now I am just concerned about where to put it.

I opted for a smaller one because of space and price, and I am not as happy with it. I love the elliptical also but I agree you get what you pay for.

I have an elliptical, but darn if I can remember the brand right now. I left the stickers off when DH and I put it together.

BUT, I can recommend that if it's possible........test the machine out before you buy it. I find that each company and each model for that matter, fits YOU differently. You must be comfortable on the machine. If not, you may not use it.

Also, if you buy it at a store they can put it together for you and deliver it. Usually there's a charge involved. I couldn't tell you about moving. I would venture to guess the "moving guys" could take care of that as well. :-)

I love those machines I use my gyms because no room in my house with two boys

Yes please try them out before you buy. All the major sports stores that sell them and even Sears had floor models to try out. I probably got on about a dozen before I bought.

Absolutyely!! Ours was delivered to the main building of the apartment where we had to drag it to the aprtment and up stairs. Putting it together I thought my DH would divorse me for sure!!! :nervous

They are the greatest piece of work out equipment,besides you good walking or running shoe's. try and find one that folds up and down and that has wheels on it to move around easyer?

they are great for gettiing your heart rate up faster and keeping in your target zone! good luck John.

I have a Precor machine, and love it. It's an investment, but I believe you get what you pay for. Mine has the adjustable elevation, but stationary arms. They delivered it to my basement and set it up for me.

That's for all the advice. I still haven't decided, but they still have the special going on...

with new years being the "time to resolve" to get in shape - i bet you can find LOTS of great deals!!
