Love my stride! I've had it for almost two months and it's a fantastic addition to my home gym. The same amazing instructors from my Bike and Row machine. Echelon equipment is high quality but the live class's make it truly amazing.
It was relatively easy to assemble. It did not come with instructions but we watched a YouTube video. We couldn't find the Allen wrench until after we were finished. ü§£ So far it is working well, and you wouldn't know it was an open box. I highly recommend it!

Hey Mindy S.! Wow, thank you for the awesome review! We're thrilled to hear that you're happy with your purchase and found the assembly process a breeze, even if the Allen wrench played hide-and-seek. üòÉ
Love this machine. We were tight on space and it is compact enough to fit in our office. It is also quiet and cushioned! My baby’s room is adjacent, very close proximity to our office and the sound of the treadmill and my feet thumping on the tread does not wake him up. No issues connecting to the WiFi. I am having trouble connecting by my Apple Watch via Bluetooth, but I will look into it a bit more to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong.

Thank you for your kind words, Brittany! We're delighted to hear that the Stride 8s is a perfect fit for your office. Here is the link for steps on how to connect your apple watch. https://echelonfit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405529862291-How-to-Pair-Your-Apple-Watch-with-the-Echelon-Fit-App
From the unboxing through today it has been bad at best. The buttons on the handle bars arrived cracked. The connectors for the monitor had the wires coming out. More often than not (90% of the time) I have to login to the tablet at least 3 times plus an unplug and plugin to get the login to take. You never know when it will work. Took over 40 emails back and forth and uploading pictures with support to finally get new handle bars and screen replaced, btw they arrived with zero instructions, I just had to figure it out. Now one of the led light strips on the side of the belt is out. Updates are a crap shoot, most of the time they fail. After ALL that, once I can get to the workout screen then it works but for what this cost it shouldn't be this way.
