Comments

• If you really want to get an elliptical, save up and buy something better. If $400 or so is all you can afford, the Proform Ergostrider 3.0 is representative of the offerings at this price level. What you basically have here is a machine with limited functionality, limited stride, and limited quality. Don't you deserve more for your home? We think so and that's why we think you should save up and buy something better. The Ergostrider 3.0 should be your last resort.
