JFIT

I've had this for a couple of months now and love it! I have mobility problems with a hurting foot, a tricky knee, and CFS, and haven't been able to do my daily walking. I've gained weight because of it and not having any exercise is compounding existing problems. I have a glider but after 10-15 minutes my foot begins to hurt and I have to stop. I have pedaled upwards of 2 hours (light resistance) on it with hardly any discomfort in my foot.There is some assembly but it was no problem and I had together and was pedaling in 15 minutes. It is heavy, but that's no problem for moving it under the desk from where it sits nearby.It's been used at a slow 'cruiser' pace while I read, watch an episode of a show or movie, or search the web, and at a pace with resistance to bring out a sweat and leave me feeling like I've biked 15 miles up and down hills with wobbly legs afterwards (I love that feeling and miss it from my cycling days!). I get a really good workout with this little machine. I was taking a break every other day to avoid fatigue, but my legs are noticeably stronger even with the irregular use, something I notice most going up and down stairs. This, of course, is helping reduce knee twinges. My energy levels are slowly increasing as well. I am noticing that I don't have to take a break every other day as my body recovers. I am now able to do a little bit every day with no break days. 30 minutes - 1 hour building up to a mid resistance and then tapering back down, or 1-2 hours of cruiser pedaling, then 10 minutes on the glider to help give range of motion stretching for the hips. I have been feeling better, sleeping better, and though I have no scales to measure weight, I can feel that a little is gone.It does get squeaky on occasion, but a drip of the oil provided and it's back to a very low thrumming sound. The resistance dial has worked with no problems so far.I will update as needed for any issues or problems, and will report on how it holds up after more time has passed.

Initially I purchased this for myself because I wanted to exercise while working in order to lower my blood sugar. I received it a day or two earlier than the shipping stated it would arrive, which was great. I then assembled and placed under my desk. My boss walked in, pointed at it and said "I want one for everyone!" (small company, under 20 employees). Since then I have purchased 6.I only have three negative notes:1 - One arrived missing a screw/washer and unfortunately Amazon can not just send the replacement part so I have to return the whole item.2 - You will want to preemptively use a spray on lubricant on the track where the wheels roll. This eliminates a bit of a squeaking noise. And I'm glad it doesn't come pre-lubricated as it would make the small bit of assembly very awkward.3- The info display is difficult to read when it's under the desk/un-lit/at an awkward angle. Also, you need to reset it each day to get a daily tally.. But I've found I don't really care how much I've done as what I'm really focused on is work.I will update with feedback from my employees, I expect we will have 8 people using them by the end. A few folks find it difficult to concentrate while using the equipment so they have passed on getting one - something to consider before you buy.I personally have found it's so great to use, medically my blood sugar is not just under control but my medication is being lowered because I don't need as much now that I'm burning energy constantly. I think it's a great piece of exercise equipment, I think it's so easy to use and the price makes it totally affordable.

I moved to an office with no great places to walk outside or inside and I was getting extremely run down so I ordered this under the desk JFIT elliptical, I wanted one I could stand on. A cheaper device a decade before and it was only good for banging your knees against the desk. My only purpose in getting the JFIT is to get my heart rate up, I wasn’t not looking for exercise, burning calories or pedaling my way through work for several hours. I brought it to the office, the set up was easy, and it works well. The downsides are when standing the elliptical can skip around but not by much, nonethless have a wall to brace against just in case. It’s a little noisy, as other people have mentioned, but acceptable. The range of leg motion when standing is limited but it does the one I asked which is move my heart rate up. I did try it under the desk and that works well too, the range of leg motion is slightly better. Pedaling backwards while seated is a little noisier. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

Great quality and product! This mini elliptical has totally upgraded the stagnant hours I spend on the computer. Researchers are finding that sitting for long hours is as bad as smoking in terms of reducing blood flow and all the bad that comes with it. This little device is perfect! It is not that small, but it is maneuverable with the wheels on the front end and a handle on the back end. You can choose your settings for a more strenuous session or just easy & mild. Its quiet and iit feels sturdy and smooth. Both the standing and sitting settings make the exercise more diverse while you are able to target different muscle groups. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
