Stamina InMotion E-1000 Elliptical Trainer

I bought the InMotion Elliptical last week, and put it under my desk to use at work. I suffer from terrible arthritis in my left knee, and movement is the best therapy. After just two days of using the InMotion Elliptical machine, I had almost no knee pain and am walking up and down stairs without hesitation. It fits under my desk, and I use it automatically as soon as I sit down. It has been a life saver for someone who sits at a desk all day and the knee pain was almost impossible to bear at times. It is almost nonexistent!

I was looking for a way to add extra exercise to my routine in my small apartment and this is perfect I can use it in the living room without taking up space plus it's so quiet I doesn't disturb anyone, plus it's my favorite color (orange).

The Stamina InMotion Compact Strider has been one of the best and least costly piece of equipment I have bought. It may seem a bit bulky under my desk at work, but it has kept my energy up and keeps the circulation moving throughout my legs (no more swelling in my lower limbs). I love this strider and use throughout most of the day 5 days a week, I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay active while at a desk job!

Easy instruction and assembly

This Stamina® InMotion® Compact Strider was a gift from my brother. It is easy to use and gives a great workout for my senior citizen husband. He sits in his wheelchair and peddles away as he watches TV. Great item.

I am a very active 54 yo professional woman who talks of walking at work but never does it. I also have degenerative disc disease that results in annoying to terrible sciatica symptoms if I sit too much and let my core strength dwindle, which happened recently. So I am back at the gym doing a lot of targeted work for that in addition to this little machine, but I am on it right now as I type on my new standing desk at work. It took me a couple of sessions at home for me to be able to do it for long periods and to get used to the small radius, bit now I love it. I haven't tried it while sitting, but I may at some point, I guess a little loosening and warming of the hip joints and other regions couldn't hurt. It is very quiet so far, here on a concrete floor with low indoor/outdoor carpeting, and fits compactly under my desk when not in use. It engages my core and involves balance, and it turns out that the small radius makes it more appropriate for how and where I am using it. My three co-workers are making as much noise if not more right with their mice and keyboards than the strider is. It doesn't hurt that the fan above us makes a similar much louder white noise. Generally, it's exceeding my expectations by quite a lot.

It is 38 pounds, was a little cumbersome to carry into my office. Runs relatively quietly. It does not slide away from you when in use. No complaints.

I am 6' 2" and about 60 lbs overweight (250), I have been exercising regularly every night for about 15-20 minutes and this is a great workout. SInce I am also a smoker this is good cardio and excellent for toning and weight loss. I have never been so excited about an exerciser but really love this one and plan to seriously keep working out until I am at my ideal weight. But don't forget muscle weighs more than fat- your pounds may go up but your body tone starts slimming down. I saw this same product in a high end catalog for $129 but I got a great price at Walmart!

I love this elliptical trainer. I moved to a very small house from a much larger apartment and couldn't afford the space for my traditional elliptical which saddened me. I was surprised to find that an elliptical existed in such a compact style and after watching videos on youtube decided to purchase it. It didn't take long to get used to taking smaller strides than a standard-sized trainer and I was really surprised at how stable it is and I balanced easily on it no matter which way I twisted my body. I am 5'9" and 179lbs as a reference. When using this I got what I consider important signs it was working: sweat, accelerated heart rate, and sore muscles the next day....also it's fun if you're listening to music and moving your arms about like a maniac on the dance floor. Another great thing, it's super quiet.

We ordered this mini elliptical because of our budget. We are about to order a regular elliptical for about $260 on here but wanted to go for something cheaper so we decided on this one. I gave it 3 stars for two negative reasons: 1. It squeaks incredibly LOUD! We tried to WD40 it from where we could see the socket from where the pedals came from but it did nothing. You might have to open the entire compartment to really stop the squeaking. 2. The stride on this is SUPER short. I'm very petite (4'9) and the stride is still hard on me. I just had to get used to it. But other then those two problems you should decided whether those would be too much for you to purchase. The price is fair on it, its actually large in person. So if your on a budget and wouldn't mind dealing with its flaws then I'd say go for it!
