Body Rider 3-in-1 Trio-Trainer/Elliptical, Upright Stationary, and Recumbent Exercise Bike ALL IN ONE Space Saving Machine BRT3980

This is very quiet unit with good quality. All my family can use it. My 6y and 11y boys both love it, even they only can use elliptial mode. I am 5 feet, I can use all modes easily. We set it on the carpet, so it is not very steady, but none of us is more than 140lbs, so this is perfect for us. It gives all of us good work out at level 1. My 11y boy has been in a swim team for 2 years. Sockets did save our setup time for 0.5 hours. My 11y and me set it up within 1.5 hr. If you set up a kid's bike before, you should be able to set up this. Following the instruction manual is import and the instruction is clear and easy to understand. This unit is cheap ($325) compare to gym equipments.

I enjoy this machine. It's alot sturdier than I expected it to be. Knocked off one star because regardless of amount of use or weight of user, the nuts/screws need to constantly be tightened and the washers sent with machine are low quality (most of them split and I replaced with better washers). Assembly wasnt horrible (took about an hour and a half). Nowhere in directions did I see where to install part #58...just saw it on the exploded diagram. After completely assembling, I went back and added them. That was an annoyance but a solved problem nonetheless. Myself and other various weighted family members have been using machine everyday for the past 3 weeks. Machine is holding up well. The seat does have some flex/wobble to it. Seat stays tightened well and does become a little uncomfortable after extended use. The monitor itself is picky...will sometimes get a random E1 error (have gone through the trouble shooting issues etc). I found for my machine, I just have to unplug and replug then the E1 error is gone. The caloric burning counter and heartrate monitor are inaccurate (after 45min of intense working out, I dont believe I have burned only 25 calories and my heartrate only stays at 65 - 85 the whole time). I have also done the trouble shooting on those two features but nothing has fixed it. Not a huge deal for me as Im concerned more about distance gone and being able to control the levels of resistance. As for stride, Im 5'8" and I find the stride just a hair short for my personal preference. When not squeaking because of nuts/screws, this machine is whisper quiet. This is a great machine for those just starting to work out, getting back into working out, or those who are limited in working out for whatever/health reason. For the more experienced/hardcore exerciser, this machine is not for you.

It is a great bike for someone just starting out with trying to get in shape. The controls are pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it and it has a nice variety of different workouts to use. It was very easy to put together. Like others I agree that the instructions were very well laid out. I bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas since she had been wanting one for awhile. I have used it some myself and like it pretty well. It is not gym quality as others have said but you get what you pay for. My review cannot be 5 stars though, due to several factors. First, the bolts will not stay tight, even with nylon lock nuts on them. I am constantly tightening the bolts. I would recommend to anyone putting this together, get some Locktite and maybe this won't happen. I am seriously considering getting some and disassembling this thing to use on all the bolts. Also, due to the loose bolts, it tends to squeek and creak and pop while using. Also, just recently, it feels as though the motor is slipping. The peddles feel like they are not consistently the same tension and my girlfriend has noted a smell coming from it. I am going to keep an eye on it and see if it gets worse. Judging by some of the other reviews, I am not sure I want to call the 800 number.

This is great value for the money. It is obviously not commercial quality but it sure does a good job. The workout is tough whether standing or sitting.It took me 3 hours to set up but that's not because it is difficult. The machine is shipped in several pieces and requires time to be done properly. All the tools required are included but a socket set would have easily knocked 30 minutes of the set up time. The display is not the easiest to read but you do get used to it and I guess that helps to keep the price down.

First off, I received this machine very quickly. Had it in my home three days after ordering it. The box and everything in it were in great shape. No holes or crushing.My husband put this together in about 1 1/2 hours by himself. The directions were very clear and easy to understand and all the parts were well labeled.I am thrilled to get three machines in one. The price is low enough that I could easily afford it. It is a challenging machine and I get a great workout. I am 5'4" tall and the stride matches my stride comfortably. And it is a small enough machine that it fits in my very small living room. Sturdy as well.I definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a great workout machine that is versatile.
