Amazon.com Product Description Forget the gym. Now you can enjoy a full cardio workout in the comfort of your home or office with this compact elliptical trainer from Stamina Products. Unlike full-size ellipticals, this trainer doesn't have arms or a front console. Instead, the trainer is essentially foot pedals only, with a chassis that's small enough to store under a desk or in a closet. Despite the small size, the trainer still packs a workout wallop, letting you burn a similar number of calories as jogging but without the risk of injury to the back, knees, hips, or ankles. Just keep your feet moving on the pedals--which continually oscillate in a low-impact manner--and you're set. Other details include sturdy steel construction, non-slip pedals, and an electronic fitness monitor that tracks the number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time, and calories burned. About Elliptical Trainers Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips. Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home. Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.
Product Description Get an effective, low-impact workout with the innovative and uniquely compact Stamina InMotion E1000 Elliptical. This perfectly sized workout companion gives you an effective cardiovascular workout with damaging impact on your knees, hips, back or ankles. This miniature fitness machine features adjustable tension so you can control the intensity of your workout and includes non-slip pedals for ultimate safety. The foot pedals can be worked in both the forward and reverse directions so you can work your lower body in different ways. And, an electronic fitness monitor tracks number of strides per minute, total number of strides, workout time and calories burned to keep you motivated and moving toward your fitness goals. Theres even a scan function that lets you monitor all your stats. The InMotion Elliptical is so compact and lightweight it can fit easily under a desk or in a closet! So workout wherever you are with the compact and convenient Stamina InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE July 29, 2010 J Family (Frisco, TX) I LOVE this machine!!! I have two small children (3 and 2), and it's hard for me to get to the gym. So, this product is perfect. It's small and doesn't take too much space. I can jump on and off of it in a whiz. It has resistance, as needed. It was simple putting it together. I want to buy one for everyone I know!!! It's perfect!!!
Rock Solid July 23, 2010 Master Administrator (Portsmouth, Va) If you can read directions; you can put the e1000 together in 10 minutes. Its simple to assemble and operate. My first test of this machine was great; my wife likes it as well. I'm also sending one to my Dad. Stop hesitating and order one one of these e1000's while they are still available.
Love It! July 22, 2010 Christy This little machine delivers as promised. Perfect for space challenged homes like my own. The stride is much shorter than a full size elliptical but very easy to get used to & actually a better & more comfortable stride for shorter people. I've been using mine for six weeks now and am still 100% satisfied!
Great...for a while July 20, 2010 Shiloh (MN) I ordered this because I live on the third floor of an apartment building and I needed something to do besides walk the dog (especially when the weather isn't great). I wasn't expecting too much of a workout, but I was glad when I read this item had adjustable tension, since it would be harder to plateau if I could increase the intensity gradually.
I used this machine once a day for anywhere from 30-90 minutes. I don't think the calorie counter is very accurate (way overestimates), but it was a good workout.
However, only 8-10 weeks after I started using it, it got so noisy that I had to get rid of it. My husband and I took apart what we could (without fully disassembling), and applied WD-40, grease, cleaners, etc...nothing fixed the squeaking shriek it had begun to emit. One of the steps also started coming loose, not because of a loose bolt, but because it appeared that the hole where the step was screwed into the arm was getting looser. I don't believe that any machine I paid $90 for should have to be disassembled, reassembled and fanagled with so much, just to make it serve its function, so I was very disappointed.
So, while I really enjoyed the machine's initial quiet operation, its adjustability for tension, its size, and the quality of the workout, it did not last long enough to justify spending $90 on it. Perhaps if you are planning to be a light user (not every day, and/or not for very long each time), this might be right for you. Also, if you are pretty handy and/or don't mind having to fix this thing up every few months, you might like this machine.
Not for advanced exercisers. July 13, 2010 J. Bertolette I read all the reviews before purchasing this product, and was on the fence for a while, but decided to buy it for those evenings I just didnt feel like it/have time to go to the gym for my normal workout. It's definately a great product for beginner exercisers. It gets your heart rate going, breaks a little bit of a sweat... but I have to agree with the other reviewers that the stride length is very frustrating. I'm used to maximum levels on the treadmil/eliptical so this little thing seemed very restricting to me. I am 5'6" tall... maybe that has something to do with it. For beginners or people that need an easy way to get off the sofa, this product is awesome.
I do have to say that Amazon was AWESOME in handling the return of this item. I was worried because of the weight, what the item was etc., that I would not be able to return it. I simply followed the online instructions and placed the box outside my door and the UPS guy came, slapped a sticker on it and off it went, no charge to me. And my credit card was credited in a very short amount of time. Thanks Amazon!
