The resistance is stuck on 25. However Bowflex are sending me a new right arm as well as a console. I hope this fixed the problem. We love it and use it a lot.

Hey Russ - stoked to hear you're enjoying your BXE116 so far and the workout it's giving you. Keep up the great work, we're rooting for you! --Bowflex Team
Wow, this machine is awesome. It is so quiet no one knows you're using it when they are in the next room. It's so smooth, and I sweat a ton! My workouts have definitely moved to a different level. My only complaint is the lack of resources. I can't find any instructional videos or tips on how to use the machine. I found some for other brands that have helped, but nothing from Bowflex. Such as, the right posture, how to use the display, and where to place my feet, etc. That's my only complaint, that I had to use a different brand to show me the right way to use an elliptical. And, I still have no idea why the display shows what it does, because the distance and calories don't make any sense. Regardless, my back hurts less now that I'm not running and I am getting to a killer workout. #sweepstakes

This product comes in a huge box with a lot of parts but the instructions are really clear. Once set up getting started on using the machine is very easy. It has cool features like a fan and speakers for your phone. I have knee issues so the low impact simulates running but without the impact so its great for that!
I like the machine. My work schedule changed which results in less time for the gym. This allows me to get some exercise at home.

I just love this elliptical. I have used it daily and my youngest loves going downstairs with me while I exercise and he rides his scooter. Good bonding time!
