For those who can’t decide between buying a new exercise bike or a new elliptical, this is your solution. The Confidence 2-in-1 Trainer is your perfect machine. It combines the comfort of a bike with the intense workout of an elliptical. With a cushioned seat, padded handlebars, and non-slip padded pedals, you’ll achieve the workout you’ve always wanted.
With this cheap elliptical, you don’t have to choose which piece of equipment you want: You can have both. But while the parts are strong, it takes a little patience and a little time to build it. After a while, the parts start to weaken, as it happens with every workout machine. If the machine begins to wobble, tightening the nuts and bolts should fix it. As time goes on, the computer will start to flicker and falter, but a replacement of batteries should do the trick.
Overall, this is a decent machine with a few glitches in it, but it will last long enough for people who are looking for something to start on before moving to a better quality machine.
It will work pretty well for people who live in small living spaces, like apartments or small houses, though it may not be the quietest machine to use. The noise may echo through the floors and walls.
But despite the few glitches it has, the machine is of decent quality and at this price, it’s a small investment for those wanting to get themselves into shape.
