 Love it! Jul 04, 2011
By AKR3
I just had another baby and was in the market for an affordable elliptical that would fit our (crowded) home. I was torn between the Proform 590E and a comparable machine. After researching and reading a ton of reviews I decided to purchase the Proform and I couldn't be happier with my decision. It looks great and is incredibly quiet and offers a smooth elliptical motion. One of the arms is a bit wobbly, but that could be due to assembly - otherwise it's very sturdy. Delivery was as promised and the driver placed the box in our garage. It took my husband and a friend of his about two hours to assemble, but they said directions were clear and it was easier than they anticipated. Very happy with our purchase and with Amazon!

 Quiet, stable, makes you want to excercise Aug 22, 2011
By Ali Julia
I compared three different Elliptical Trainers (Schwinn, Sole, and ProForm) and settled on this one. I became interested in Ellipticals because of my knee problems. Ellipticals pedals revolve along an elliptical path making each stride uniform and thus easier on the knees. I tried a few different ellipticals and noticed that not all ellipticals have the same elliptical path - some are more round (similar to peddling a bicycle) and some are more elongated (similar to skiing motion). The stance also differed somewhat. I read that the narrow pedal position is more ergonomic, but I felt more comfortable with pedals wide apart because I was more balanced. ProForm felt the most comfortable and Consumer Reports ranked ProForm fairly high in their report as well.
Set-up:
Elliptical trainer requires a space similar to a love seat coach. I also needed to have a little extra room around it for safe dismount. My original thought of placing the trainer in the corner of the basement did not work because elliptical also needs vertical space, as the machine elevates you.
The elliptical trainer is heavy. On my own I could not even budge it. Delivery people left the unit near the entrance. I hired someone to set it up for $120.
Overall, I am pleased with the Proform Elliptical. It is quiet, stable, I am comfortable on it, and I like the little fan that blows cool air into my face. But most importantly it makes me want to exercise.

 Product is okay- not great. Nov 03, 2011
By Zip
The optical showed up in a large cardboard box that was clearly damaged. There were multiple puncture marks in the box and parts leaking out of the box- bolts, nuts and screws falling out of the box.
I opened the box and took inventory- all the big parts were there but almost all of the screws, nuts and bolts were missing.
I called the manufacturer six times over three days, all during business hours, before I was able to get through to someone who was able to send out replacement parts. I sent several emails that were never returned.
About two weeks later I got in the missing parts. It was simple enough to put together.
This elliptical feels cheep- I'm a bigger guy, 6'1- 235 lbs and I feel like I'm going to break this thing using it normally. I have had to re tighten a lot of the bolts as they are wiggling out of place with normal use. You get what you pay for I guess.

excellent machine! Will update later but loving it so far Apr 07, 2012
By A H
I received this elliptical on Friday, April 6th (ordered it April 3rd) and I am so glad I chose this machine! Assembly (once I had the right tools, as listed on page one of the instruction manual) was a cinch, and I put it together myself. It took about 3.5 hours total for me to do it-but once I was done I didn't feel like working out right away-lugging the parts from my living room to my bedroom was a workout in itself! I had no issues with missing parts or mechanical failure, and I even tested it out before it was fully assembled (NOT ADVISED) to see just how sturdy it was. It passed with flying colors :) I love all of its features, the speakers are nice and loud, and the tread is nice and smooth. I am near the weight limit and do not feel like I am going to break it, so that is a plus! I lost about 20 pounds on my own before purchasing this, and now I can't wait to kick my workout into high gear! Thank you Amazon and ProForm for helping me make this wise health investment! The price is great, the delivery was prompt, and the product satisfies.

 Free Shipping because they are going to walk it to my house. Feb 16, 2011
By Cheryl D. Regueiro
This was suppose to be delivered 2 weeks ago. They have not given me a ship date now they just say they cant find it. They should put out of stock if it is. The free shipping is not a good deal when they take so long to deliver it. Or even if they deliver it.
