Question 1

A bit confused by reviews, is this machine effective at burning calories=weight loss?  Does it strengthen muscles? Positive or Negative experiences welcome.

Accepted Answer

Movement is what makes you effective at burning calories and weight loss. This is just a tool. I found going at a moderate pace for 30 minutes usually burns 200 calories for me (according to Apple Watch metrics, so take that FWIW). I also lift heavy and am currently cutting calories. Over the past 4 months I have dropped 36 lbs and this machine is part of my process. This alone will not do the job, but as part of a well executed plan it works.

Question 2

is it all ready put together

Accepted Answer

Wish others would have explained this better! It is literally already assembled... only need to put about 5 screws in. The manual is confusing thinking you have 46 different parts / screws to assemble but all those instructions have already been done for you. After taking out all the parts it took me about 10 minutes to put together - if that.

Question 3

What is the footprint?  How much space does it take when set up and when used, with the movements?

Accepted Answer

Only about 3 to 4 feet standing and another foot or so for the swing.  It's very compact; more so than almost any other exercise device around.  It's light weight also allows it to easily be moved to any open area.

Question 4

I am only 5"1, too short for using the trainer, right?

Accepted Answer

I don't think you are too short,  Ling.   I'm 5'5".    The "handle bars"  are upright.  You can take hold anywhere  on those handles, high or low.  Sometimes I take hold of handles a foot lower than usual just for a change .  There is rubber covering  at the top but you could put black electric tape around the area that you felt most comfortable in.  You would really not  need the tape.  Might be less slippery. You could actually get someone with a small hacksaw and cut the upper part of the handles off quickly.  There is some stuff at the hardware store that you can dip hammer handles into to form a hard rubber seal.   You could put that on the handle tops  if you cut them down.   If you read a lot of the  reviews you will notice many decided to take the "chest stablizer"  off.   They felt it was in their way and  they felt much better without it.   I think it was put there so people with poor balance had something to lean on. I find it a bit in the way too...but out of laziness I haven't removed it yet.  But I plan to.   I think that stabilizer piece will land right in your chest area.  That would be my only concern.  But I think you can take it off and feel perfect with this machine.   The foot pads can swing  your legs in a long stride or short  so that won't make any difference.     I'd go for it.  Aside of the poor directions for putting it together & showing how to read the dial, it's a great machine.   I use it every night for between 20 minutes & an hour & a half  while watching my favorite TV shows.  I starting doing just 5 minutes at a time.   Now after 2 months I watched the whole Academy Awards Ceremony!   If you put it in front of your TV, you will be sure to use it.   Dr. Oz  took his furniture out of his living room and replaced it with bicycles......so his kids could only watch TV when  exercising.
