If she is just 100 lbs, what is her short/long term goal? Maybe a cheap one is all she needs?

Best elliptical machine under $1,000
Hi guys, im looking for recomendations on an Elliptical machine for my girlfriend for christmas. She wants to workout at home. I guess it should be able to hold someone my size too. (270lbs) shes about 100 lbs soaking wet. We went to all the stores today and all felt awkward, but I guess we are comparing them to the miltiple thousand dollar ones in the gym.
any advice is appreciated.

she just wants to stay healthy and firm up a little. me, ive still got 70-90lbs of fat to burn. so we want a good one. maybe spending a few grand is an idea, if they offer financing.

My favorite choice for ellipitcal machines is the cybex arc trainer. I am not sure on the price. It is probably pretty expensive but it feels the best and most natural to me.

NEVER buy your girlfriend/wife a piece of exercise equipment for X-mas, even if she says that is what she wants!

Check around and see if there is a store near you called Play It Again Sports. They buy used equipment for resell.
Also, check a few gyms in your area and ask if they are about to replace their equipment. You might get a good used one there.Long Live The Long Bikes

LOL....I nearly blew coffee through my nose when I saw that commercial. I knew that was a mistake when she pulled back the paper.
