ProForm PFEL05918 HIIT Trainer Lite 5.9

A great workout for sure! A climber, stepper and elliptical all in one. One of the factors that drew me in was its small footprint and not overly-bulky appearance. It’s also very easy to maneuver to a different location. One thing we did have trouble with was getting some of the bolts to fit properly and/or align perfectly. We spent 40 minutes trying to align just 2 bolts. Aside from that, assembly was fairly seamless and took about 2.5 hours overall. Currently 3 months since purchasing and have yet to encounter an issue.Side Note: A lot of people haves complained about the iFit compatibility and “forced” membership. While there is a sticker that says you must activate it in order for the machine to work.... it’s total BS (same applies for any other machine that pushes the iFit). All you need to do is hold down the Bluetooth button for approximately 15 seconds where it will make a single beep. This is a one-time thing that you need to do and it will completely unlock the machine.

This was time consuming to put together. Make sure to grease where is says to when putting it together. Now for the actual work out get ready. I can do about 45 minutes to an hour on a stationary bike and 30 minutes on a stairmaster. So far, I have done about 15 minutes on this machine. It's an amazing work out. It doesn't hit your glutes very much but the front of your thighs will burn! I overestimated my fitness level. I will post an update after a month or so of using this machine 3 to 4 times a week...... oh, and it is not too big or bulky which is a plus and easy to move!

I have had my machine for less then a month, I really enjoyed it up until last week when the setting became very tough. It states it is on level 1 but it feels like its automatically on level 6 or higher which get discouraging when trying to workout for more then 10 min. I have tried to unplug it and plug back in but still feel tough. The machine also has alot of lube on it so it is not that.

This machine gives a great workout, however, when changing resistance levels it makes a horrible clicking sound that only goes away when putting the resistance past 8. I also DO NOT like that I have to pay $15 per month just to be able to use the elliptical.
