ProForm 6.0 ZE Elliptical User Review

I was really upset after I put this machine together, every time I took a step I could hear an annoying clunking sound.  My fault – I can’t blame the machine. When my husband came home he patiently disassembled it and put it together correctly.  I think I should just stick to the challenging workouts instead of being challenged by mechanical things, I should know better.

Anyway, that done I’m really enjoying using my ProForm 6.0 ZE Elliptical.  It’s made of sturdy materials and I especially like the fan and being able to plug in my iPod.

It’s basically a very good little machine, made by a reputable company at a very reasonable price.

Bottom Line

ProForm 6.0 ZE Elliptical is a sturdy and well-designed machine that will give the user a great cardio workout, without having to leave the house.

Schwinn 460 Variable Stride Elliptical Trainer User Review

I was like a kid at Christmas opening this and it took me ages to unwrap everything. I didn’t complain. I’ve read Schwinn 460 Variable Stride Elliptical Trainer reviewtoo many reviews about machines that have arrived badly packaged with parts missing.

The machine was for my wife and she was away when it arrived so I built it for her. Not too difficult but I doubt if she could have done it one her.

Problem? Yes, like I said I bought it for her, but when she came back from her mother’s three days later I had already started using it!  Wow is all I can say, I’m very impressed. This is a great addition to my weight bench and the other equipment I have. I love we each have our own programs and the big touchscreen tells me everything I need to know.

The variable stride adjustment is easy too and allows us to both be comfortable and get the best workout.

It’s a cool looking piece of equipment too and it doesn’t take up much space.

Bottom Line

The Schwinn 460 Variable Stride Elliptical Trainer is a great buy and a fantastic looking piece of equipment you’ll be using for years to come.
