I have a ProForm XP 160 elliptical. It's from the same company that owns Nordictrack. It's very sturdy. Holds up to 275 lbs. It counts calories burned, carbs burned, distance, etc. It has quite a few different workout programs and built in fan. There's more though. I can't remember everything off hand. I paid 700 for it, but that was about 3 years ago. An elliptical similar to this should run around 300-400. Proform.com usually runs specials each month, with free shipping as well.

Hello,

We have a precor elliptical machine. It cost around 4000 or so. The ramp goes up and down which my husband and I both love.

We use it mostly everyday between the two of us and have had it for about 3 years without any trouble.

We would buy it again.

I don't own one but the gym I go to has about 8 different kinds. I have tried all of them and some I hate and one I love. My advice it to try it out. If you are going to spend that kind of money you need to be real sure you like the one you get. All the ones at the gym are very nice and very expensive but I wouldn't give a dime for some of them.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
