Plasma Fit Elliptical Machine Cross Trainer 2 in 1 Exercise Bike Cardio Fitness Home Gym Equipment

Very easy to put together and set up. Doesn't take up too much space. Works very smoothly. Gives a good workout for arms and legs. Display shows speed, distance and heart rate. Has tension control.

This product is pretty much "you get what you pay for". Would a more expensive machine have a smoother glide, easier resistance settings (digital vs. a turn-knob), and more stability? Yes. But As I didn't intend to pay $500-700 for a home exercise machine, this trainer does what I wanted. Assembly was rather frustrating (took my boyfriend and I about 2 hrs). Be careful to assemble all pieces in the right order and to make sure items are in the correct position. We installed one of the foot pads backwards and the first time I stepped on it to test it, it cracked. Luckily, it was on the far edge, doesn't affect use, and nothing super-glue can't fix. Using the machine as an elliptical (which was the primary purpose I bought it) is comfortable and easy. There is some sway, but that's to be expected. The seated position is far less comfortable for me. I'm 5'4", and have to lean far forward to grasp the bars. The moving hand bars swing out too far to use and the stand-up bars are too far forward to use comfortably while pedaling. I can do it for a time, but the effort is fatiguing on my back. All in all, I can get a nice work out, get my heart rate up, and can get exercise at home without paying a gym membership, so I'll take it as a win.

I placed this in my closet and pushed it in after I’m done. So easy to assemble and everything works perfectly. Directions are not great, but with some common sense, I manage to figure things out. It can be wobbly if it is placed on a mat or carpet. The display needs to be adjusted if you are over 5’8. I am very impressed with it.

3 1/2 stars. It’s a very nice machine. I bought it for my senior mother who has a little trouble walking sometimes. She has tightness in her legs and a doctor recommended she exercises her legs differently than just walking. We chose this one because it has a seat in case she cannot continue to stand/ride which we think is a plus…but it is really beneficial for her when she does stand. It really works her legs in the quads area where she gets extreme tightness. Working the quads this way helps with the tightnesss that is plaguing her walking. The doctor was right. My only issue. Mom hasn’t complained about it, though she can only do about 40 reps. The issue is…when you’re standing. Your foot slides forward. It’s required that you wear shoes. Your foot will slide forward and stop where the peddle is but your toes will go into the end of your shoes. It is a little problem. I use it once a day for 10-15 minutes and it’s a great leg workout standing, but again, those toes slide to the front of my shoe. Sitting does not have the sale impact. It’s similar to a stationary bike.

*Update: I bought this elliptical in March, and it didn't make it to December. It was not used regularly, and certainly not every month. Screws and pieces started falling out, then I noticed the pedals were stuck and something might be jammed. I disassembled to replace the screws and tighten the rest, but unfortunately some of the plastic on the inside had melted with use. I'm still not sure how that even happened, but it's clear now that I can't fix it and it will be junked. After everything, I'm feeling pretty disappointed with this purchase. Assembly was mostly easy to figure out, with the exception of a pedal and bolt that was received jammed, and I required help from a coworker to loosen it with his power tools to finish. He struggled too, so I didn't feel like a total idiot. Was received with some epic scratching and marks, which was a shame, but I'm pretty much the only person who will ever see it so whatever. Is quiet and easy to exercise with and I feel like I am getting a pretty good work out. Biggest complaint hands down: that seat bruised my fluffy bottom for days and it was very sad. Bought a gel cushion to put over it and it is much better. Still happy with this purchase and it is stuck with me for at least 30 more pounds.

The Elliptical Machine 2 in1 Exercise Bike was delivered on time. It took my son about 20 minutes to assemble. There were no issues what so ever and all pieces were included. We were so pleased as this is not always the case with most purchases. I promised myself I would get serious about my health and workout regularly. I had been doing an exercise program designed for seniors every other day for two weeks; and was becoming bored. ( I am a 69 year old woman.) I knew I needed help to remain consistent and saw an ad for a well known exercise machine on TV. But as I researched I knew the Elliptical Machine 2 in1 Exercise Bike would be perfect for me. I can change it up by sitting or standing on the Elliptical; or choosing the bike to really work on strengthening my knees. We've had it only a few days and just love it. It's so easy to jump on and get a good workout. And the built-in timer is key. I am so proud to see my progress in increasing my time. This machine has even encouraged other family member to start exercising. I think this is going to not only change my life but could very well save it! I shop a lot on Amazon and this machine is by far my smartest purchase.

Pretty good quality for the price. I use it almost every day and it seems to hold up. The few small issues I have are the pulse takes forever to read and always starts over and slowly counts up if you release. Everything is metric which really isn't a big deal as the US standard system is dumb if you think about it. The distance and speed don't seem to be accurate, but again I don't really care (My workout doesn't change if the distance says 5km or 100km, I'm still going to go as long as I want to) I wish there was a small shelf to hold a phone or iPad so I can watch videos. I'm 5'11" and 220lbs and the bike fits me perfectly. Seat could be slightly more comfortable but not a deal breaker, I can go 30 minutes no problem and the seat isn't an issue.

This package arrived with a large hole ripped into the side of the box. When I checked it out, nothing was broken or damaged so I let that go. Setting it up was made more difficult by the inadequate directions. You have to ignore the very complicated picture of all the parts that is the first thing you see when you open the instructions. This is just a complete parts list and should be at the very end, not the beginning, The actual parts are poorly marked and I took a bit of time identifying the right part at nearly every step. Go carefully because re-doing is the pits. Maybe a more mechanically skilled person would have less trouble. Using the trainer is a good workout, but you have to wear good shoes and socks because the pedals are slanted forward and your toes bang against the end of the pedals. I am thinking of adding maybe a few strips of shoe goo or something else to improve the traction on the pedals. Also, the seat is unpadded hard plastic. If you plan to use the seat, you should invest in the seat cover recommended at the time of purchase. When you use the seat, the handles are a stretch. At 5'6", I can just make it work. For all of that, I like using the machine. I generally walk until I feel a good burn and then rest on the seat for two minutes. Generally, I can keep my heart rate in the target zone for 20 to 40 minutes without too much trouble or over exertion. I think this is a great machine when space is limited and your budget is relatively small.
