Great so far ...
... though it's going to hurt in the morning!

We're forty-somethings who've always done a lot of walking but that's been about it, partly due to back problems necessitating low-impact exercise.

I decided to buy a cross-trainer, mostly for its cardio-vascular benefits. We looked at several much more expensive machines, but they were all either too big for me (5'6"), meaning that I was uncomfortably leaned forward, or too small for my husband (6'1"), meaning that he was bashing his knees on the uprights. We were reluctant to spend so much money on something that only one of us could benefit from. Also, they were often HUGE - our house isn't small, but space would have been an issue.

So we decided to try this one, because it was inexpensive if only one of us (most likely me) could use it comfortably, and we wouldn't feel it was too much money wasted if our enthusiasm waned. Also it looked a bit more compact, which was also a plus.

It arrived in good shape yesterday, and the husband assembled it today. Generally easy, with well marked components, as has been said before. But we did notice one bit (the pedal hinge bolt) where we thought the written instructions were misleading and contrary to our instinct as to where a washer should go. If in doubt it's best to look at the exploded diagram (which confirmed our hunch).

We found it to be advisable to protect the area around the machine with newspaper for its first use, as we did get one large dollop of grease out - luckily it hit the radiator, not the carpet!

We've both tried it. It seems very robust, smooth and acceptably quiet in use and, much to our surprise, it works for both of us with our differing sizes.

We found it quite hard work to start with, which probably shows that we need it! As I said at the start, I think I might hurt in the morning! There's plenty of scope to increase the resistance and time, so it should still provide a good workout once we're a bit fitter.

Overall very pleased with our purchase, which was much better than we expected for the money.

Great value for money
This strider gets your heart rate going and is great fun to use while watching tv or listening to music. Once put together it seems very sturdy and durable.

I would recomend this to anyone looking to get something fun to keep them acitve and fit but not spend as much money as the other striders and cross trainers.

Another plus is that this strider has free super saver delivery where as the others I looked at all incurred a £30 delivery charge.

It was slightly more complicated to put together than I expected. I accidently over tightened one of the nuts which meant the crank would not rotate, so I had to take almost everything apart to figure out what the problem was and start again!

Outstanding Service
I bought this last month and cannot recommend it and Body Sculpture highly enough. A couple of weeks ago mine developed a fault with the right pedal section. I was unable to undo a particular part as it had stuck fast and it would need quite a large part replacing. I wrote to Body Sculpture with my warranty on the Monday by first class post and on the Wednesday all the parts I requested arrived! Outstanding!
