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.
Sports reviews of Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer [Discontinued]
Customer Review: Best mid-priced elliptical out there
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Our new Schwinn 430 arrived last night. The delivery company called me Tuesday to schedule a day for delivery and told me the driver would call an hour before arriving. We got hit with another snowstorm on the scheduled delivery date and the roads were becoming treacherous throughout the day. I received a call at work around 3:00 in the afternoon to let me know the lift had broken on the truck and the driver was running a little late, but I was assured he would be there between 4:00 and 5:00. The truck arrived at 4:30, despite the broken lift the very friendly driver brought the heavy package into our living room.
It took my husband and I about an hour and a half to assemble the elliptical. We did read the other reviews and bought some lithium grease before delivery. The directions were clear, and assembly was easy and straightforward. We both got on the machine just to try it. The machine was very smooth and very quiet.
I came home after work tonight and did my first workout on it. The machine was as solid and smoothe as the ellipticals at my gym, it kicked my butt. I wasn't expecting that intense of a workout on a home machine.
We researched and tried out many machines before deciding on this make and model. The Schwinn 430 feels solid, is well engineered, and has a small footprint. Awesome machine for the money!
Customer Review: Awesome Deal
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I started my research for an elliptical with gym quality but within my budget. I read several reviews that this ellipticalSchwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer, was the best deal. When I did a search and found the Schwinn 430 on Amazon for $200 less then the retail cost, I was hooked. It was an even better deal that is applied for Free Shipping, this saved me another $123. Unfortunately the only issue I had was the shipping. My husband and I both work and the freight company didn't provide a time frame that worked for our schedules, so I had to pick the item up vs. taking a day off work. Even though I had to pick this up , it was an easy and quick drive the freight company was very nice. Please keep in mind, this item is heavy, it was difficult for me to help me husband carry this in the house. Be prepared to have a helping hand or two or a hand cart. When I did get the elliptical in the house and began unpacking, I was skeptical about all the parts being in the box, as I read reviews that some people had parts missing. I was in luck, no parts missing and it took me about 2 hours to put together. I had the help of my husband which went a little quicker. But I could have easily done it myself. I did read other reviews that the machine squeaked and afterCustomer Review: Great choice for the price.

I bought this elliptical machine after wanting one for years. Dropping $600 on anything is a huge deal for me, so I did my research. This definitely seemed like the model everyone raved about on every site I checked out.
It took 3 weeks from the day I ordered it from Amazon to the day it was delivered. I couldn't fit the box into my basement stairwell, so I opened the box upstairs and brought it down in pieces without a problem. It took about 3 hours to put together - the directions are not super complicated, but it just does require a little patience.
I was worried about the height - I'm 5'11" and my basement's ceiling is 7'11". Luckily when I'm on the machine I have about 2 inches between the top of my head and the ceiling. If you're over 6' tall and need a machine to go into a basement with 8' ceilings, you may want to try a different model. If you're shorter than 6' you should be perfectly fine.
The elliptical machine is very quiet, very smooth, and very sturdy. I was worried it would wobble, but it doesn't at all. I wasn't able to find this model in a store to take it for a test drive, but I'm very happy with it. It doesn't bounce you up and down the way a lot of machines do - it's more of a natural running motion.
For this price, I'd say you couldn't get a better deal!
Customer Review: Great workout. Love this machine!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this machine from Amazon in July and have been enjoying working out on it for the past couple of months! Several things attracted me to this machine after doing extensive research on various sites: lots of great reviews including ease of assembling; cost value and stability for the amount of machine delivered; small footprint size; stride length; and ability to go forward and reverse. This machine delivers on all counts that were important to me.
It took me about 2 hrs to assemble by myself which was better than expected considering the amount of parts laying on the floor. I had no problems following the well-written instructions and all parts were included, except that when attaching the pedal piece to the arms I did have to use a pair of pliers to keep a bolt on one end stationary to tighten the bolt on the other end.
I use this machine about 3-4 times a week and it's very smooth and stable, and feels just as good as gym ellipticals I've used in the past. True that a backlight on the LCD would be nice but it's no biggie as I can just turn on a lamp if need be. I love the versatility of the programs versus manual.
All in all, I'm very very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend it, including the fact that I saved on shipping by buying through Amazon.
Customer Review: great quite machine, perfectly does its job, sold as described
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I didn't do much research for buying this machine. I just started looking for an elliptical home exercise machine. And then found out on google that amazon has this machine, and over 400 people have already wrote review. Well, i read the reviews and decided that this is it. I usually take a long time to make a decision in purchasing the big ticket items. But, i decided about this machine within 45 minutes. I truested and liked the other folks who have used it and shared their experiences.
The machine is really quite (except for a few bearable squeaks) and the display is not bad at all. I can see the display without any problem. Usually I have the room light on when working out. Assembly was OK. It took about two hours between me and my wife putting it together. Make sure not to loose any washer, locker, or nuts. Schwinn did not a supply a sigle spare assembly nuts. The only thing that I wished that the machine had was a fan. I can turn the ceiling fan which works fine for me, but there may be other users who may not have the fan facility at the location where they want to put the machine. But, i will still recommend this machine to anyone. There are numerous options available for cooling off. The machine has flexible programming, it's up to individuals to choose whatever fits for them.
