I had a machine very similar to this two years ago and I loved it. Eventually the hydraulic pump in the press stopped working, so I threw it away. I’m glad to have found another one. It’s a great space saving excercise machine. I get a cardio workout using it. And it definitely helps to build muscle on my legs. Really great for toning your legs, buttocks and stomach.

Don’t waste money or time on this item. I wouldn’t even give it any stars if that were an option. Right cylinder was faulty from the start. There was about a 1/4″ gap before any resistance kicked in on the right step. After less than one month, resistance in right step gave out 20 minutes into my workout – 10 minutes into my husband’s. Within 7 weeks from purchase, well within the 90-day warranty, we contacted Team 6 to request replacement part. We were told they did not have the part in stock and they would ship the part when their warehouse received it. When we pressed for a commitment to a date for this to happen, they would not give one. Since they refused to commit to a shipping date, we requested a replacement unit and they refused that also. We tried to work with them through another email, but they stopped communicating with us. After several weeks, we called the 1-800 number, and were told that the parts were made in China and it would take a week for them to get here. HMMM. We started this process about 4-6 weeks before we were told over the phone that it would take a week for them to get the part! We again told them this was not acceptable, were put through to a “Manager”, and got a voicemail. Big surprise. We left our information. That phone call was a week ago, still no replacement part, no unit, and no service. If you can afford a more expensive one, make the investment in your health and do it. Also, the problem exacerbated my knee pain because of the uneven resistance. We bought a StairMaster and my knee is fine.
