    i am affraid you get what you pay for here. imo i would go for one made by life fitness or precor. check them out on ebay?
    if you are serious, expect to pay about £1000.
    anything else is crap!

    u can buy mine if u like cos i cant use it anymore cos of my back and its as good as new.. pm me if interested

    i would be certain u are going to use it before u buy otherwise it will sit in the corener gathering dust.. like mine lol..

    if u are a serious trainer u need to spend a lot.. dont go for the very very cheap ones tho . i would look midrange if u are only semi serious

    I am serious in that i want to diet (well allready done so) and want to get into an exercise programme,of which an eliptical cross trainer will be helpful-but i cant justify spending that much.Maybe i need to buy one second hand.

    u could try a gym??? fitness always helps when dieting i found when i started training i lost inches tho not pounds (already had lost them lol)

    hence i got my elliptical but now my back is bad i cant use it hence its sitting there.. it was very good when i did use it and makes u fit (or dead lol) cos its really hardwork!!!

    if u are near essex and are interested let me know or look on ebay
