Horizon Fitness EX-59 Elliptical Trainer Exercise Machine for Home Workout, Fitness & Cardio, Compact Cross-Trainer with Bluetooth, Built-in Speakers, 10 Resistance Levels, 300 lb Weight Capacity

This machine is very sturdy and doesn't move. It has 10 levels I had a hard time getting past 2. I sweated profusely. Never heard of this brand, ChatGpt suggested it. So glad I purchased it, Affordable price

I bought this a year and a half ago. I have used it 2 times per week that whole time and it has been reliable. Love the shelf which I used to watch my kindle. It has a good stride, easy to use. I had 2 issues with the console, but they were easily solved through customer service, just needed to be updated. I highly recommend taking the arms off periodically and add some white lithium grease. I waited a year to do this, but it could have been done sooner, because it was starting to get noisy. Overall, very good value for the money. Worth it for me because I gave up my gym membership when covid hit and its probably saving me money in the long run.

I didn’t really help with putting this together, my husband did all the work. It seemed easy to put together though! The only issue is the left handle has been a tad loose from the beginning and we can’t seem to fix that. Also I wish there was a way to turn off the beeping function so it didn’t beep every time I press a button (I change levels a lot during my workout). But the elliptical itself functions as it should, no weird noises or anything and I’ve been using it for a year. It’s also easy to move around the room if you want to change its location.

Worked wonderfully for a few months and then started squeaking. Now it’s clunking and moves when I use it. The metal is broken. I bought a warranty but of course it’s just out. Definitely not worth the close to $700 it cost. I’ve owned cheaper ellipticals that lasted longer.

I’ve had this elliptical for a few weeks now and I am truly enjoying it. I live in the northwest so being able to get my heart pumping and blood flowing even on days of inclement weather has been great.My wife says that from the next room it is quiet when I use it. She also stated that it is more compact than she had envisioned.My kids loves it and are able to get some of their bottled up energy out during this isolation period too.It was easy enough to put together, it took me probably a good hour to do it. I suggest: that to avoid future squeaking, spread as much of the lube provided on as much of the shaft and hole parts as possible. This may involve squeezing it off of the prophylactic covering the shaft during shipping. They did provide the tools necessary for the most part. There was a mix up as far as the number of properly sized washers needed. I had 2 more in one size and 2 few in another. Luckily I had a cache of washers in my garage.My noticed drawbacks are there isn’t a stride length adjustment and at 5’8” and more legs than torso, it falls justly slightly short when going at a harder longer stride. There isn’t a fan, but they usually aren’t strong enough anyway, so I’m not worried by it.The price, the warranty, the flexibility to use at my discretion, the features and the reputation of the brand were right.

Pros:+ 16" max pedal height provides low profile (great for low ceilings)+ Sturdy build+ Simple to assembleCons:- Resistance is much too hard. Only really works practically on level 1 and 2 (out 10) and I'm not a weakling- Stride length is too short- User interface is extremely rudimentary

There are ten levels of resistance. This allows you to adjust degree of difficulty. After first day the console no longer worked but because it was under warranty a serviceman was sent to repair it. Since then the console has worked correctly. I started at level 3 and use it for 22 minutes every other day. Definitely makes you sweat and works your lower body. Don't notice upper body work out much. I'm gradually building up to more resistance. So far it's a good investment if you have the space for it.

Recently received this elliptical machine. It is perfect. We live in a basement apartment and it is low enough so we don't hit our heads on the ceiling. Haven't lost weight yet, lol, but soon.
