My wife and I use this strider nearly everyday. We love how easy and convenient it is to step on and exercise while watching TV. Also, great customer service!
I am a 51 year old man, 6'1" and 215 pounds, with very arthritic knees who is not allowed (Doctor's orders) to walk or run and must use a no-impact elliptical to exercise. I bought this machine more than 3 years ago, in July, 2012. Since then, I've used it hundreds of times, burning up to 1,000 calories per session. My knees feel great using it, the calories burned are real, and the E1000 paid for itself in terms of gym membership savings within the first month!
Also, as tiny parts have worn out (inevitable with any workout machine if you are a large and and use it as much as I do), I have found it EXTREMELY easy to get replacements from Stamina. Their customer service department is INCREDIBLY helpful, and the parts are very inexpensive and easy to replace.
This is EASILY the best workout/exercise machine I have ever purchased. I plan to have one of these until I die.
I have purchased 2 of these units as they work great for my clients. My clients are mostly elderly and suffer from osteoarthritis This device has provided them with a pain free exercise that can help keep them moving
I always used an elliptical machine at the gym as best workout machine for hips/back without stress on knees, ankles, back etc. When the gym closed I researched &, based on many good reviews bought this Stamina InMotion Compact Strider. Easy to store & gives me the workout I had at the gym less the side handle bars - but I just use hand weights at times with it as suggested on website video. Great that I can get a good workout at home despite weather, no gym costs, no special gym clothing, etc.
I bought this a month ago to use at my desk at work. My tweenage daughter ask to keep it at home so she can use it. Now that is great to hear when your kid wants to get some exercise in too.
I have bought this product 2 seperate times. The first elliptical lasted me a few years of regularly use before multiple parts needed to be replaced, so I bought a new one. The second one- the foot pedal fell off 6 months in (the reason for 4 stars, not 5), however, their customer support were very helpful and replaced the base of my machine for me. It's very compact, easy to use.
I purchased this product after using it at a friend's house. I really like it for an at home workout. It's good for cardio and your core. My only complaint is that the wheels wear out quickly, however they were replaced for free under the warranty.
