My wife and I love our Max8 Trainer. Easy to assemble and easy to use but gives a great workout. I am 70 years old and have worked out my entire life. This is one of the best machines I have ever used.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is tougher to use than a normal elliptical but doesn't take as long to get a full workout. Getting it started is a little but not a lot more difficult, It fits in better where you have limited space and is easier to move than most gym type equipment. We are pleased with our purchase.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Quiet, Strengthens
I would recommend this to a friend!

Power lifter and body builder at age 54, needed something that will get heart rate up quick and burn fat - perfect machine. Have knee replacement in each knee and no impact - feels great and can let arms take on brunt of work when needed.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
