Review on EFITMENT Magnetic Elliptical Trainer With LCD Monitor And Pulse Rate Sensors by Angel Serafini

I want to note right at the start that I got this on sale for $150 and I am a 6' tall male. I was looking for another machine to replace my higher end elliptical because some parts kept breaking. It came way earlier than estimated and was relatively easy to build, took me about an hour.When I started to use it I was pretty bummed. The circle of motion you move in is so small it's like riding a child's bike. Rather than the long stride of a gym elliptical, this one keeps your movement really limited and focuses a lot on your thighs. The foot planks were uncomfortable to use as well and I needed to use shoes because they hurt my feet. It was honestly just a weird, hunched workout.As I used it a bit more I got used to the motion it wants you to use rather than a traditional elliptical and I am enjoying it more. It's small and easy to move. It is flimsy though. I'd guess I'm around 180 lbs and the whole thing sways when I use it and i need to keep re-tightening the hex bolts on the main column because of all the rocking. Make sure you keep the provided hex wrench.Overall I am satisfied with this machine after about a month of use but I'm honestly not sure how long it will last. If you're able to afford a higher end elliptical you should definitely do that but they are so expensive it's unreal. Especially if you're used to using them at the gym, this machine will take some getting used to.I would also say I wish the display would hold my phone better. It perfectly holds my phone but there is so much rocking just from general use my phone sometimes slides off and falls on the floor.
