Horizon Fitness EX59 Elliptical

Great elliptical for the price. Went together in less than 2 hours, and is well constructed. Works great in my basement on foam padding.

Need to add an on/off switch and be able to save preferences otherwise this is a good product, adding those 2 things would make this a 5 star mid-range model.

Use it 6 days a week and I feel great!

Equipment was delivered as promised. Some pieces were broken when delivered but Customer Support resolved problem in a very professional and timely manner. Good investment.

This machine came just as described. I'm 6'5" tall and at the time I started using the EX59 I weighed in at 270 lbs. I started out using a friends rear wheel elliptical but it's pedals were 5" apart and it made my knees hurt. with the EX59's 0 gap, I don't have that problem anymore. I gave the EX59 a 4 star instead of 5 because I think the weight limit should be 250 lbs instead of 275lbs. This elliptical is an ideal buy for someone who is determined to lose weight. 16 levels of resistance and smooth operation make the EX59 a pleasure to use everyday.

Bought this machine based on videos and user reviews and I have to say it has been awesome! My wife uses it daily (and I will start soon wink wink). She absolutely loves it.

Construction is fairly simple if you follow instructions well. The Horizon machine is sturdier and smoother than other more expensive brands. Get this one!

Very happy with the EX59. Appears to be a well made quality product. The previous reviews are accurate, an on-off switch would be nice. Control panel functions do have to be reset, but I didn't have trouble walking through the programing...simple enough. It is a heavy machine. However, that is due to the sturdy construction...I am impressed with the smooth functionality and quality. It was recommended to me and I have already passed on that great advice. I would buy it again, hands down for the price.

This is a good product but it doesn't have an off switch. It has to be unplugged everytime. Also there is no way to plug in preferences for everyday use. You have to plug them in everytime and that is a bit annoying. The product works and is good but it is a bit less than user friendly

I love all the extras on this machine, such as the fan and speakers. Makes working out much more enjoyable. It's a very smooth gliding motion and love the fact I can keep my arms stationary or move them with the handles. This is one machine that makes working out a treat. It's very well put together.

While the display is not as complete or exciting as some others, it has all of the data you need. It's a solid machine that is made to be used daily. It's a heavy brute and had to take it down to the family room in sections and assemble it there, but it was not a big deal. It's easier than moving the assembled unit up and down stairs.
It is good for both my wife, 5' tall and me, 6'. The stride length is good for both of us.
The best way to put it is that I would buy it again.
