Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-11 Summary: I love this machine!!!! This is the best machine ever! ... When I first starting using this machine I worked out for about 10 minutes and thats all I could handle. Within a week I worked up to 20 or 30 minutes and then increased it to 1 hour 3 to 4 times a week. What I love about this machine is you get immidiate results. I am 5'7 and I went from around 155-160 pounds to 130 pounds in about 6 weeks. I went from a size 10 fitting tightly to a size 4. I had it set on interval training I beleive.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-03 Summary: Solid machine ... I have had mine for a number of years. It gets daily, hard use from both myself and my children. The machine is smooth, solid, and always performs well. I originally bought it because I used a Precor at a health club for several years. The health club had several other elliptical makes; I preferred the Precors. The differences between this model and the club model are not all that great, certainly not worth paying more money for. For example, this model has a painted steel front ramp on which the wheels roll up and ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-30 Summary: Almost gym-quality ... I bought the Precor 5.17i. on sale from Sport Chalet for $2,000 plus tax. It is very smooth and quiet. It is lacking a hand-grip pulse monitor, but it does work with chest-strap pulse monitors. I tried other brands that were cheaper, but they felt cheap and wobbly. The Precor machines are solid and stable. Overall, I am very happy with the 5.17i. ...more
