Can anyone recommend a good elliptical for less than $1000?

Trying this question again……….
Going to the gym is too time consuming right now. I really love the Precor they have there but are too expensive. I am looking at a Nordic Track 990. It has an adjustable incline. Any recommendations?? The Nordic track is about 0 on sale now at Sears. Thanks!

    The elliptical is my favorite, too, but for the home I got a recumbent bike because it takes up less space and it’s something everyone can use. I agree that you need to spend to get a decent machine.

    Nordic Track gets lousy reviews.

    Your best bet, and this is how I get many of my major appliances, including the bike, is to hit Craigslist and type in names like Life Fitness and Star Trac — decent brands — and see what pops up. My gym-quality bike was $100!

    my answer would be to just go to a closer gym. I go to 24 hr fitness and only pay about $21 a month its pretty cheap compared to that 1000 dollar machine you wana buy. plus they got alot more machine and dumbbells, barbells etc. more cardio machines. I’m pretty sure that at some point soon after you buy it you will stop using it and it will just collect dust. so save your save the money and get a gym membership. only the intro pay will be high. if you’re good you can get it for 50 bucks for a start up fee, unlike me which payed 100 bucks. but after that its only 21 bucks a month. in a year that would come out to about $250. way below buying a machine.
