Body Champ2-in-1 Upright Exercise Bike and Elliptical Trainer with Seat, Heart-Rate Monitor, and Programmable LCD Console, BRM3671

I needed a new fitness machine as my treadmill gave out and I wanted someone with less impact so I went with an elliptical machine. I really didn't want to spend over $1000 for these machines as I just wanted a basic good machine. I held off on buying one because I was extremely worried I would have problems assembling the machine. So I read many reviews and looked at many different machines and I picked this one based on other buyer's review, so I wanted to give my own review if it helps anyone who is deciding to buy one. When I received the package, I took out every single piece and put them on the floor. I was kind of intimidating seeing so many parts. I do have to say the bolts, nuts, etc were categorized in their own little compartment which made finding the parts to use extremely easy. Not only did the instructions tell you the part number, it also gave you an illustration. I just looked for the part number as it is labelled on the cardboard that the stuff is on. Anyways, it took me 90 mins to finish. I could have been done probably in a little over an hour but I installed 2 pieces on upside down :-( and had to undo it. If I looked at the diagram better, I wouldn't have made that mistake. You can consider this good or bad but it was a pain to take out the individuals nuts and bolts because they were all taped down. This is good since they won't be missing or anything but a pain to take out (yea I'm lazy). And there were NO missing parts. Some of the parts came oiled because my hands became a little greasy. You can definitely do it by yourself but it is a little easier with 2 people on some of the steps. Once I got everything set up, I did try it and it works great. I do get a little winded on it and as other said, it does wobble a little back and forth. Not bad for me - 5'6 150lbs. If they made the front and rear stabilizer a bit longer that would have solved the problem, or made a middle stabilizer but I don't mind. I'm trying to figure out how to use the computer problems as you can have manual, training, heart rate training, and user created training. I been using the manual mode because the others tend to have a countdown timer and it goes off and I'm still figuring out all the settings. But so far I'm glad I bought it. If you are a little intimated in setting it up, like I was, you can do it. Just be patient and look at the diagram. It will tell you which parts to use and how many, and it is really easy to find the part since they are grouped together and taped down really good. I'll give another update once I use it more.

I bought the Body Champ BRM3671 Cardio Dual Trainer after having gone to various stores in my area and checking out the Ellipticals there. I was actually looking for something that wouldn't take up too much space and could be wheeled from one room to another so I could store it in one room and pull it to the TV room to exercise and watch TV. I came across this trainer which looked compact enough and had a dual purpose of elliptical and bike though it didn't have wheels. The accompanying video looked promising too.Assembling the product was easy enough - very good instructions and all the parts and tools needed were numbered and marked.The Ist day I used it, I tried the 'manual' setting (it comes with manual as well as 10+ preset workouts to choose from) and the lowest level of resistance. It was easy enough as a starting point. The stride length was shorter than other ellipticals probably because of the compact nature of the machine. Not a big deal for me since I'm not tall but my sons are 6ft so for them it wasn't the best. Moreover the machine shakes quite a bit while being used. But we felt we could live with it. But the 2nd day I tried the machine it wouldn't work. I tried the same easy setting and this time I could barely move the pedals. At first I thought maybe my legs were tired but my sons and my friend couldn't move it either. We tried it a third day and same thing. Something went wrong in the mechanics of the trainer. I must state that all in my family are within the weight allowed on this product.I called Amazon and they responded very quickly, kudos to them. They said I could return the product for a full refund. Moreover they sent UPS to my door to pick up the item since it weighs close to a 100 pounds and there was no way I was going to be able to drop it off at a UPS depot.Since then I've Googled for reviews and quite a few of them have liked it but a few have stated that it's flimsy.Pros - Compact, space saving exercise equipment. 2 workouts in 1. Wide resistance range with quite a few preset workouts.Cons - Stride length is short. Shakes quite a bit. Broke down after just one try.
