Great for new moms!, 17 Oct 2005
By Maia Hightower "Tiago's Mom" - Published on Amazon U.S.
This review is from: Schwinn 418 Elliptical (Sports)
I bought this elliptical to work off the baby weight I gained after the birth of my son. I tried a gym membership first, but who wants to waste time at a gym when I've got my new pride and joy at home? Consumer Reports recommended the elliptical as a best buy, so I decided to give it a try. First, it comes unassebled. The directions are a bit scanty, but easy to figure out. I was able to put 95% of it together by myself while my son slept in about 2.5 hours. I did need a bit of hubby brawn for the last couple of steps. All in all, it looked fantastic put together. Advice: don't rush putting the parts together. The brawn part involved the sheet metal screws and the glider covers. As for the ride...Fantastic! It is sooooo quiet. I can excercise at night when the little one is sleeping without a sound heard in the room next door... and I can hear his baby monitor without difficulty. Sometimes I exercise with the baby looking on in his intelletrainer. We exercise together, grooving to ABC's. All in all, a great purchase!

It's very hard to trust on the internet for large item purchases..., 13 Dec 2005
By L. Quido "quidrock" - Published on Amazon U.S.
This review is from: Schwinn 418 Elliptical (Sports)
I checked around for elliptical trainers before I bought this from Amazon. It was difficult to know what to believe. I found the Schwinn in four different places, and based on the positive reviews and the purchase price, I decided to go for it. I'm glad I did.
Size wise and noise wise, the Schwinn is pretty compact and very quiet, compared to some that my friends have purchased. I've also found it very sturdy, although I'm not a really large person.
Amazon's vendor used a superlative local shipper to get my order to me on time, with little fuss and muss, and in good shape. It was challenging to put together (I had help!) but worth it. The settings and features are professional, and while I haven't explored all of the 10+ workout programs, I think I bought a winner!

Look out god bod 2005, 24 Aug 2004
By G. D. Ryan - Published on Amazon U.S.
I purchased this machine at costco ($699), thinkling it wouldn't be as good as the precor at the gym, but it would have to do as my scheule for working out is never the same.
I absolutely love it.
It's a real heavy box ( nearly 200 lbs) so you may want a friend around to help move the bloody thing. It requires assembly. My 14 year old daughter put it together so I imagine most people will manage.
This is just as nice and effective as the precor we used at the gym; we have it at home in the living room as a reminder to take 30 minutes, watch a sit come and get our work out done.
The stride is nice ( even for people with longer legs) and the programs have a variety of workouts for all levels of fitness.
I would definately recommend this machine to anyone who is in love with the much more costly precor machine- or for anyone who wants to burn burn burn those calories
