FreeStep Recumbent Cross Coach Stepper, Zero-Impression Train Bike Different w/Patented Bodily Remedy Stride, As much as 350lb, Free App w/Coach Exercises

Quality product
I bought this to use post surgery for my at home cardio rehab and beyond. After looking at several options, I decided on this one, and I’m so glad that I did. This is a heavy, well made, quality product that is built to last. I like that it has a console screen and a place for the phone or tablet, and water bottles. There are various settings and options for workouts, and will accommodate up to four user inputs. The most amazing thing to me was how quiet it is. There is hardly any noise at all. This is as good as what I used at the rehab gym, and doesn’t cost near as much as their machines.About the assembly: My husband put it together in about 1-1/2 hours. The directions were straight forward, and the pieces were easy to put together. The main body is in one piece, so it’s a matter of assembling the attachments that make up the rest of the platform, the front, i.e. the console deck and handle bars, plus the seat assembly.The only problem that I’ve had is that the seat adjustment is a bit difficult to lower (quite easy to raise). My husband had to adjust that for me. I’m 5’4” and weigh 108#. The seat and handle bars adjusted to fit me well. I like the workouts, and have tried several of the programs.I do recommend getting the Teeter Mat to go underneath the machine. It will protect the floors and stabilize the machine if you have hard floors. It does have wheels on the back to make it moveable, however it is very heavy (110#) to lift from the front and roll around. I would recommend that you set up the machine where you intend to use it, and not have to move it around a lot.

FreeStep LT3 Recumbent Cross Trainer Stepper
I wanted a recumbent eliptical after using one at the gym. Gym quality recumbents run a few thousand dollars. That seemed like overkill. I found this one on Amazon along with another to compare to. This one had the best reviews and I thought it would fit in the space I had allotted for it. The dimensions indicated it would also fit assembled through a standard bedroom door of 30″. It arrived in front of my garage and was tough to slide into the house. But is wasn’t too far and the unopened box fit through each door with a little to spare. Before opening the box I watched a youtube video which relieved some of my concerns. One suggestion was very helpful “don’t take it out of the box, take the box away from it.” That made good sense and after taking all the loose parts out and separating them. It left cutting the box away and sliding the base out of the box. Assembly by myself, took about two hours. Written instructions were good. Parts marked easily. Teeter also has more video’s though I finished not needing them. A few bolts were a little hard to get started. But eventual successs. Attaching the seat to the seat back had an issue because there are two choice based on one’s comfort. I guessed wrong (it is better for with more space between the seat and back) so after it was all together and I sat on it, I had to undo the seat & back from the frame and redo the seat). The only other glitch on assembly was in seating the bar with electronics into the frame. Here there was nearly a half inch of space with the bar being wider than the frame receivers. It took some straining and manipulating but I succeeded in putting them together. It works fine. Once assembled it wasn’t too hard using the wheels to get it into the room where it was to go. It is not that easy to pick up (110 lbs) and raise high enough for the wheels to work and then it also tends to roll faster. But success. After spending some time trying it out I was pretty satisfied. When using the pedals only without arms one can see it has smooth operation, WIth arms one needs to get a smooth cadence so it doesn’t feel a little too jerky. I was glad I bought the gel seat pad with it since it is more comfortable. The seat adjustments are fair. Sometimes it seems too far away and at other too close. Placing your feet higher or lower on the pedals also makes a difference. I find tt works better if one is leaning back into the seatback when riding, sitting up only increases loss of smoothness. The tension adjustment knob takes some getting used to since it is not easily seen while seated. You end up using it by feel. It works alright. The handles have a couple of positions, these are not my favorite but again work adequately and I expect to get more used to these. The electronics are basic (time, distance and rpm) it reminded me of an eliptical I had in 2002. So actually it is enough for me. Ultimately, I am satisfied with the qualtity and value for this one at around $900. There is a cheaper one by Teeter I never tried. You can’t compare this one to those at the gym that are $2500 to over $4000. Also they weigh over twice as much as this one. Try moving that. I think it will get good use.

Elliptical cardio trainer
This is a very well built trainer. It’s very quiet and operates smoothly. If you don’t want to spend $6000 for a NuStep this is a very excellent alternative for a price well worth the money. Assembly is not difficult but will take 1-2 hours. Instructions are very clear and all the hardware is individually bagged and numbered. Ships directly from the factory and is very well packaged.

Love this equipment . Easy to assemble . Very kind to the back. Quite. A bit bulky in size . But overall great for the price
