skyeblu79 0 Posted December 24, 2006 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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladypitboss 0 Posted December 26, 2006 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.

skyeblu79 0 Posted December 26, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patty103 0 Posted December 27, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S@ssen@ch 745 Posted December 28, 2006 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. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladypitboss 0 Posted December 28, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jqpublic 1 Posted December 30, 2006 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.

Nathalie 4 Posted December 31, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
