Nice machine. Great value. Levels may not be very distinct but suppose 16 levels creates this.

5 Jaimyon P.
Squeaks a little, but very quiet for the most part and works great! The quality is really good, very sturdy! Love it!

5 Itzel g.
When building the machine it takes a while but it's worth it in the end. Step by step to build. It's the right size that if you make space for it's worth it. I use it regularly for exercise for cardo. Workouts are easy and I highly recommend the resistance. It's a self investment. Please be aware that some of the leg pieces that hold the machine up will come out. But you can always pop them back in. Be kind to yourself and the machine it's worth it.

5 Eugene G.
So far nice elliptical, size is better than I thought, had a problem with assembly. Tension wire in main frame was inaccessible, had to purchase a pair of 11 inch needle nose pliers to reach it. Reached out to Sunny for help with this they sent me a video of how to connect it, which I already knew how to do, so that was a waste. But other than that that so far so good.

5 Tami S.
So Happy With My SunnyFit Elliptical! I am SO happy with my SunnyFit elliptical! I was a little nervous about getting started, but after my very first 20- minute workout, I knew I had made a great choice. It ’s smooth, comfortable, and gives me a really good workout without feeling like I ’ m fighting the machine. I especially love being able to use it right here at home and fit my workouts into my day. The SunnyFit app is a great bonus, too. There are so many ways to keep things interesting and stay motivated. I ’ m really enjoying my new elliptical and, most importantly, I ’ m actually looking forward to using it! That says a LOT. 😄 If you ’ re considering getting one, I definitely recommend giving SunnyFit a look. I ’ m excited to see where this journey takes me! 💪❤️

I love my mini elliptical trainer. it is part of my workout routine. It sits in front of the loveseat and I pedal it as I read or watch TV. It is a great additional boost to my workout. I am really happy that I purchased it! I also have your exercise bike.

Really like it. It is quiet and can adjust level of resistance. Have n't yet used the battery for feedback. It will be helpful to keep my knee joints in good shape. Only regret that I did n't get it when I was rehabbing from knee surgery.

I love exercising on this Eliptical. Easy on my joints. I can do a light workout or a cardio workout. The Sunnyfit trainers have several workouts on the app that are amazing. I waited to do this review to see if I have any issues. The only thing that comes to mind is it does n't like going in reverse like my Orbitrek did.

5 Cheryl W.
This is first equipment purchase. Love this machine: heart: ️. Hope it last for years. Seems very sturdy and well built.

5 Kathryn B.
I ’ ve used this 2x since purchasing/setting up, and so far no issues! I ’ m a middle aged woman- who isn ’ t too handy- but set this up without the help of my husband. I did have to go online to watch a video for 1 particular step I didn ’ t quite understand. Other than that, the instructions provided with the machine are sufficient and fairly easy to follow, and without breaks, it took just over 2 hours to set up. The machine( so far) is basically silent while in use, a real plus so I don ’ t have to blast the music or tv unnecessarily. I have yet to utilize any of the workout programs in the SunnyFit app, but I have found a few that are of interest to me for the future. I appreciate that the machine is a few inches shorter in length than my last elliptical, so it does take up less space. The computer panel is fairly simplified and easy to use. Again, I have only used it a couple times since receiving it, but I am already very satisfied with my purchase.

5 Todd K.
I was skeptical because of the price. But this was easy to put together, shipped fast, in good protective packaging. Once assembled, it is VERY quiet during use and has a great stride length. The adjustments are noticable and the monitor reads well for interactive tracking. I am impressed and very happy with this home gym investment.

Could n't be happier. Totally recommend! The App is great.

I bought this a few months ago and I keep it in my office. First, let me start by saying that I did a lot of research on these machines and this is the one I kept coming back to. It was a little more expensive than the others I had seen, but the craftsmanship and smoothness of this machine is far better than any others I had seen and tested. It was easy to assemble and the directions for use are simple. I am so pleased with how smooth this machine is. The timer, counter and calorie counter really help keep me motivated. It's a wonderful workout machine for those of us with `` desk jobs. '' Best part is.... I 've never used it sitting down, although you can, I 'm able to stand and pedal which has proven to be a great core exercise too. Great machine!

5 Prissy
I bought about a month ago. First one came in damaged but had no problems at all with the company sending a new one and paying return shipping. It really gives a great work out and is easily moved to other rooms or carry to work. I am impressed.

5 Les55555
I bought this a month ago and absolutely love it. So easy to use and store, not to mention it gives a wonderful workout on my time.

5 jwaand
The machine is smooth and very quiet. I have owned 3 spinner bikes, and I find this to have almost an identical motion and feel, except it is much quieter, more compact, and less expensive. I sometime place a chair in front with it's back to me, and it is similar to the handlebars on a bike( also if you need balance the chair serves this purpose). I did n't think I would use the Strider while sitting; However, sometimes I have completed my workout, but the movie or TV program in front of me has n't finished, so I turn the strider around sit down and pedal rather than just sitting in front of the TV. This is one of those purchases that has proved to be better than I expected.

5 Sadiesmom
This item is great to workout standing up or sitting down. It is super quiet so you can use it while watching t. v., at work under your desk. Would be great for an apartment because it would n't disturb anyone else. It is great for all ages but it is a really good workout for elderly people too.

5 Rich77
This really works well and does n't take a lot of space.. Assembly is easy with the supplied tools. It runs quietly, so far, so that you can watch TV or read while using it. We found a standing workout was tricky as the flywheel does n't provide enough momentum for a smooth, non jerky feel. Might be okay with practice but seems better and smoother from a sitting position. A Youtube video mentioned raising the front with two 2x4s but I felt that put bending stress on the `` Bottom Board '' so I built a ramp that supported the entire machine. Happy with it so far.

5 Mark G.
Thus far I am very happy with this mini elliptical. It provides the resistance and my legs get to do the work! I 've used three different of these. The first used non- metal parts and eventually parts ground against each other leaving a powder residue behind. The second was motor driven and I never felt I was doing the work. This mini elliptical lets me do the work at a good resistance level.

5 Julie T.
I have to say, I am happily surprised with this Elliptical. First and foremost for me, a priority is the absolute lack of squeaking, grinding, grating or squealing noise when in operation. I bought it because it was labelled `` Ultra Silent '' and I was certain I would be horribly disappointed. Color me exceptionally wrong( and that is a rarity in my existence) because so far, smooth, and quiet beyond belief. Easy to assemble and up and running in about 30 minutes. It fit in the tiny weird alcove in my living room and my head does n't hit the ceiling which was my fear. I do not have to move the unit to use it due to the cleverly designed compact size. The next test will be continued usage and if the silent factor is maintained.

good quality device at this price point; straightforward assembly instructions; smooth stride; virtually silent; no jerk( kinematics)

5 JoeandPeggy
This machine was recommended to me by a medical professional. I was skeptical because I could not tell by the pictures has it was constructed. When I received it, I was very happy with the construction. It is built very sturdy and yet maintains the light weight feature so that it can be moved easily from place to place. Assembly is well documented and takes only a few minutes. It also only takes a few minutes to master the initial rhythm of the machine. This machine is very practical for home use. My wife and I are both using it. However, for us it has an added bonus. We do travel often in our travel trailer. This machine is easily transported and set up while on the road as well. I have used many different types of exercise machines. For the size and cost, the Stamina has exceeded my expectations.

5 mystiq
I like it a lot. It does n't take much space and the strider experience is very smooth!

5 Vieve13
I received Stamina's InMotion Compact Strider as a birthday gift almost a month ago. As a former personal trainer, I was pleasantly surprised when such a small, lightweight, and inexpensive machine could provide such a wonderful workout. I also love the convenience of this product. It is completely self- powered, except for the battery- operated step/time/calorie/distance counter, easy to put together, and even easier to use. It is also versatile. You can stride forwards and backwards while standing, with or without the resistance bands, and you can also turn the product around and stride forward and backwards while seated. You can literally burn calories while sitting on your couch watching TV. One more thing that I love about Stamina's Strider is, that while standing, you automatically engage your core muscles and get an ab workout in addition to your legs( and arms if you are using the bands)!

5 Katherine
I am 62 years old and exercise regularly- try to stay active. I work at a desk job and this has really helped me to be able to move more often throughout my workday. I try to do at least 6 workouts for 10 min each. this has also really helped to improve my balance- a concern as I get older.

5 SROCH3032
This is such a great piece of workout equipment! I can use it standing up to work my legs and arms. I can use it sitting down while watching TV or at my desk! I have a full size elliptical in my basement that I will probably sell since I got this awesome compact machine!!! Love it!!!

Finally, ensure the machine has a comfortable stride length to accommodate your natural movement.

Many ellipticals in this price range typically have weight limits that can accommodate a variety of users. These limits often range from around 250 to 300 pounds, but it is important to check the specifications for each model to ensure it meets your needs. Additionally, the construction and materials used can influence the overall stability and durability of the machine. Always consider your own weight and usage habits when selecting an elliptical.

To determine the right size for an elliptical machine, consider the available space in your home or gym. Measure the area where you plan to use the machine, ensuring there is enough room for movement and access.

With an elliptical under $500, you can engage in a variety of workouts that focus on cardiovascular fitness and lower body strength. These machines typically allow for both forward and reverse pedaling, enabling you to target different muscle groups. You can perform steady-state cardio sessions, interval training, or even low-impact workouts while standing or seated, depending on the design. Many models also offer adjustable resistance levels to customize the intensity of your workouts.

The average lifespan of an elliptical in this price range typically ranges from 5 to 10 years, depending on factors such as usage frequency, maintenance, and build quality. Regular care, including cleaning and lubrication of moving parts, can help extend the life of the machine.

Resistance levels among ellipticals under $500 can vary widely, offering users different workout intensities. Many models feature adjustable resistance settings, allowing for a customizable experience that can accommodate various fitness levels. Some ellipticals may use magnetic resistance for a smoother operation, while others might employ a more basic system. This variety enables users to gradually increase their workout difficulty as they progress in their fitness journey.

Using an elliptical can provide a low-impact cardiovascular workout that is easier on the joints compared to other machines like treadmills or stationary bikes. It engages both the upper and lower body, allowing for a full-body workout that can help improve endurance and strength.

When considering the noise level of ellipticals in this category, it's important to look for models that feature quiet operation, especially if you plan to use them in a shared or home office environment. Many ellipticals are designed with magnetic resistance systems, which tend to operate more quietly than traditional friction-based systems. Additionally, consider the construction materials and design, as these can also impact noise levels during use. Reading user reviews can provide insights into the actual noise experience of different models.
