 Smooth Machine Aug 11, 2010
It took me about two hours to put the machine together, I found out that the four screws that attached the main frame did not fit and there was no treads so I used 4 nuts and bolts and it is solid.
The machine is very smooth and very quiet. I also realize that using the different programs gives me the time I need to finish my work out specially those days that I am on the run.
Please note that if you use a heart monitor on your workouts, you should use it when using this machine as well since the heart rate monitor on this machine is not very accurate and it takes about two minutes before it gives you a close reading.
You may also find out that you actually burn more calories than what the machine shows, wish is a good thing ( I verified with other 3 friends using their own heart rate and calories monitors)
I also love this machine for my warm up and cool down before and after my runs. Is very nice to have the equipment at home instead to drive to the Gym just to use one.
This is another great product by Horizon!!!!
outstanding! Jul 16, 2010
This machine is amazing: (1) we needed an elliptical that would fit into our basement, which has a low ceiling. This elliptical fits fine; (2) we wanted something simple, but stable. This machine is VERY stable--no rocking; (3) we wanted something cost-effective. This is only about $500. After looking at machines that were $1,500 and up, and trying low-end machine at Sports Authority, that were about to topple over, the Horizon Fitness EX-57 is a revelation. It meets our every need, and for only $500? Incredible. BTW: you can put it together yourself in about 2 hours. Everything fits, very stable, no squeaking.
 Decent Elliptical...for the price Jul 06, 2010
I researched every web site and every online store looking at ratings and prices for various brands of ellipticals. Horizon isnt a top of the line brand, but in numerous reviews it got good ratings for its price range. I knew I didnt want to spend over $1000 on an elliptical. I just wanted a machine for casual use for my fiancee and I....something with various levels, a digital display, smooth action, and a sturdy frame. We got all of that with this ellipctial.
The bad news is that mine came with a broken front casing. It doesnt affect the action of the elliptical at all, its just a cosmetic issue, but it still ticked me off pretty good. After I put all the pieces together (expect a good hour or two doing this), the cracked piece didnt really bother me. Its in the front, it was facing a wall, out of sight out of mind.
The stride is a little close....I thought it would be fine as a I was doing all the research but I think I might need just a little bigger stride. My fiancee loves it though, just right for her.
The display can be a little dark and hard to see since it is not backlit. Jus tbe sure the room is well lit, either by windows or a lamp.
The cup holder is useless...too low and at an angle. I dont use it at all.
The little shelf if perfect for holding my Ipod but I cant imagine trying to set a book on it. Just too small a space. I usually just close my eyes and isten to my music anyways, so that doesnt really bother me.
The action is smooth, the rollers seem sturdy and secure on the tracks. The pedals are nice and big with the edge around the front so your foot doesnt slip off.
Overall, this is a good machine for the price. I would have liked a backlit display, a music port, and possibly a wider stride. But you cant find a sub-$500 machine with all that right now.
