Does anyone own one of those new Livestrong elliptical machines?
atmfee asked:
I am buying an elliptical machine of some sort and was interested in the livestrong brand I saw at Dick’s sporting goods. Just wondering if that’s a piece of crap or good enough to last a long while. It’s about $1000. Any suggestions on brands of ellipticals that are good? I don’t care about the fancy heart monitors and crap like that.

We just bought the “top of the line” Livestrong elliptical from Dick’s last week. While the machine looks pretty cool, it is a hunk of junk.
The delivery guy/installer from Dicks came to my house and put the machine together; and the circuit board wan not functional. This item is obviously covered under warranty, but I purchased a new machine (and would expect it to work).
I just called Dick’s to discuss, and my solution is simple. Return the Livestrong and swap it for the Sole 35. The Livestrong is made by Horizon, and Horizon is definitely an inferior product. My suggestion is to bu the Sole (it might not look as cool, but it will last alot longer)
