4.0 out of 5 stars Good Home Cardio Machine - Recommended November 22, 2010

By C. F. Hill HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER

Amazon Verified Purchase

We bought the Body Champ "Cardio Dual Trainer" for use in our cramped basement and it works nicely for our needs, with the following observations:

Setup -
+ Took my son and I about 1.5 hours to build it from unpacking to plugging it in
+ All parts were included and clearly labeled
+ Although the instructions look daunting, they really were easy to follow
+ Included all of the tools required (screw driver and wrenches), but using a rubber mallet (on Step #3) and adjustable wrench sped the process along

Pros -
+ Versatile; use as a standing elliptical or sitting cycle
+ Effective; provides a good workout in both modes
+ Electronics; monitors heart rate, adjusts intensity, and provides "programed" workout
+ Small Size; takes up about as much space as a traditional stationary bike
+ Affordable; this is a fairly inexpensive choice for a good quality machine

Cons -
- Stride Length; I am 5' 10" and find the stride length a little shorter than would normally be natural
- Sturdiness; At 230lbs, I am on the larger side for this machine and find it does wobble a bit at higher intensities

Misc -
* My 5' 11" son has very long legs (34") and finds that the cycle mode is slightly uncomfortable to him, but is fine for me (30" legs)

This machine was a good choice for us since it has so many important features at a price that was somewhat lower than we expected to pay when first starting to shop for this type of equipment.

Recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Body Champ BRM 3671 Cardio Dual Trainer February 19, 2010

This elliptical trainer was another surprise for us (when you compare with other people's experiences). When we ordered it we were told it will take 4 to 6 weeks to arrive. The surprise: one week, good packaging again, nothing missing inside, no problem putting it together.
It works the way was meant to work. Good for average exercisers and has a seat to be used as a bicycle. Listed on Amazon for a max of 220 lbs weight for a person, but the manual lists it for 250 lbs max, which is good for me. It is a good construction, no noise, no wobbling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, then ok, then great again - wobble and noise issue addressed October 21, 2011

First off, this is one of the least expensive ellipticals on Amazon and it allowed me to cancel my gym membership.

Setup:

- 2.5 hours (reading other reviews I wanted to make sure I did it right)
- Instructions were very easy to follow

First Impression:

- Very happy. I work out very hard and it handled my workout and the hardest level has PLENTY of resistance
- Screen is a little hard to see but others who find this an issue can spend $1,000 on a better machine
- Wobbles a little but nothing unsafe

Second Impression:

- The infamous squeak began. Nothing to bad but worried me. Then it got worse and I got annoyed. My wife said she could hear it all the way upstairs from our basement; not good.
- The computer beep is very loud - don't put this in any room where you don't want it to beep

I called customer service because the squeaking was a deal breaker for me. If they could not help me then I would return it and find something else. She was very knowledgeable which impressed me. She said the problem people have is that they tighten the bolts too much. She said find the squeak and then loosen the bolts, add WD - 40 if needed and re-tighten but not too tight at all. Bingo. The two bolts on the front stabilizer were the culprits. Now the machine is quiet as a mouse. Too bad other reviewers did not call so they could save the time to repackage and send it back.

Bottom line, this machine is great for the price. I will update later if anything changes.
