Actual buyer, actual user all 240lbs. of me

If you are wanting a $3500 piece of equipment from a professional gym, then you shouldn't be here in the first place. If you want a maintenance free piece of equipment, then you shouldn't be looking at workout equipment period. As with all workout equipment, this elliptical will need to have preventative and routine maintenance. When you unpack the equipment, make sure you don't throw anything away until you verify all parts are accounted for. The one and only problem I had was with one of the caps being the wrong size, which was rectified immediately by Walmart without me having to take the elliptical back to the store. Read all the instructions first before assembly (I'm a 42 year old male with a background in aviation propulsion and I wa...

Moderately priced, moderately built

This model was easier to assemble than previous years models from Gold's. The main brace came loose during first use. I also had to disassemble wheel covers to replace the belt which had not been properly tensioned at the factory. I also had to drill a new hole and place a bolt and nut assembly through the main brace to prevent the whole thing from working loose. I also had to do a lot of noise abatement by applying lots of duct tape where metal rubs on metal. I knew what I was buying as high quality machines are much more expensive. My fixes are holding up for now, however I must tighten all screws and nuts before every use. Squeaks will drive you nuts unless you apply lubricants.

    Great Elliptical for the Price

    I really wanted something basic that could get the job done. The other $4000 units just were way out of my budget and most of the functions I really didn't need. After looking at a lot of models under $500 I decided to try this one. I am very please thus far and have been enjoying the workout daily. Assembly was pretty straight forward. I took my time and things worked out well. I think the average person could assemble the unit within a couple of hours. The only mistakes I made were because I didn't read the instructions fully.

    Just put it together and not disappointed

    I just put this thing together and I can only assume that those people who have had difficulties probably couldn't point out a screwdriver. It went together very easily and even though the instructions say it requires two people, that can only apply if the first person does not have the use of both arms. I did it alone at a casual pace and it took about 2 1/2 hours. I tried it out when complete and was pleasantly surprised at its silence but we'll see how it goes over time. Price point was a major consideration for me and based on my experience thus far I would recommend this machine.

    Great Elliptical for home.

    We bought this elliptical for my wife, she uses it everyday and she likes it very much. Bought it from there online store and when it was delivered the box was in rough shape. When I opened it and took everything out of the box there was only one piece of plastic that was broken that covered the upright at the base. I called ICON customer service and got right through and told them what I had found and they where very helpful and sent out a new piece which took two weeks to receive which was not to bad. The instructions where easy to follow and the only thing that I did is the piece that the upright slides over and then you bolt it to, before I put the upright in place I put some grease all around that section that the upright slides onto. ...

    Easy to assemble

    Love the built in incremental workout plan. I already had the power adapter which if you don't have I recommend getting. Also added some M3 Command tabs to route the power cord to keep it out of the way when using the equipment. My only complaint on the product was after about 4 uses it started squeaking as you used it.

    It works

    Two people are not necessary to put this together. I did it in four hours with one useable hand/arm. The hardest part is connecting the wiring as some wires are just short. The plastic covers on the joints for the arm bars do not snap together and had to be thrown away. All necessary parts and tools are packed together. At most you will need a phillips head screwdriver as one isnt included. The console is either battery or dc adapter powered. Both must be purchased seperately. The advertising says there are something like 14 or 24 workout apps included with the machine. So far, I havent found them! There is also no IFit card unless you purchase it seperately from golds gym. I seem to remember the ad saying the card was included too. Have so...

    90 day warranty says it all, it is junk

    It's pure luck if this machine works for you for a year. I researched and researched and figured I was safe even though there were some bad reviews (depending on where you read). While it's hard to believe that such a simple device could break, this made in china machine is a cheap imitation. I had the 510 eliptical for 4 1/2 months when it just started grinding. After taking it apart to see if it could be adjusted, it was apparent that it had self destructed. When I called the factory, they told me the warranty was 90 days and that was that. Even their manager said 90 days. I can't believe anything that cost $400 (w tax) wouldn't last at least a year. I knew it was tinny as I had to tighten up all the screws with ratchet allen wrenches. I ...

    Don't don't don't buy :(

    Not worth the money !! Misaligned parts, made it very difficult to assamble, plastic parts did not snapped because of misalignment, when being used it was unbalanced , very unsteady and the bolts started to unscrew, restistance didn't work and the screen didn't light up .You get you pay !! But I didn't know it was going to be this bad is. I wasted my time and my husband had a hard time put it together and then he had to take it all part ....in and out and returning etc.

    Dont waste your time or money, poor construction

    First off im only writing this in hopes of saving at least one person the headache this purchace will most likely cause. This was very poorly constructed and would creak and sway when in use and at only 190 lbs I find this outrageous with a 250 max weight limit. The staff at the store was very helpful with my return yet I was out 3 hours of assembly time plus the time and gas used back and forth. I spent more on this one over the 310 model in hopes of getting more quality, nope still lacking in that department. Please save up the extra money and get something more solid. I wont cheap out on quality if its something you want to last, and if you work out on a regular basis it should last! Hope this helps someone!

    easy

    I read some of these reviews and finally decided I would find out for myself what this was about. I am not a mechanically inclined person at all, I put this machine together by myself, it was very simple. Just read the instructions. It runs very smooth. I am very impressed. I used to workout on a commercial elliptical, this one is just as nice and perfect for me. Here's to getting and staying healthy!

    Do Not Buy Golds Gym Products

    Bought my Golds Gym Stride Trainer 510 in February 2016 at my local WalMart By April 2016 the threads on the Eddy Mechanism where the drive belt turns broke off. Waste of money!

    Tighten thoroughly and maintain form

    Using for supplemental work for running, with having a toddler and a newborn baby. Used 20-45 minutes 3-5 times/week , and less now that the baby is getting older. Works very well as long as you are using good form. It did start to squeak after about a week of use but I retightened everything on the front and it has been fine ever since.

    Great machine, easy to assemble.

    Great elliptical machine. It feels solid, the pre programmed work outs are great, and really get you sweating.

    Don't Waste Your Money!

    Learn a lesson from me and don't waste your money! I thought this machine would be great, considering I had purchased Gold's Gym fitness products in the past without any issues or regrets. However, this elliptical is super flimsy and very cheap quality. Be smart and don't throw $387.00 of your hard-earned money out the window!

    Lemon

    I purchased this machine to replace a proform I had for over 5 years (no warranty). Something told me to get the additional warranty that Walmart provides and I am so thankful that I did. I am on my 3rd repair call in less than a year. Finally, the repair company indicates that there is nothing more they can do to fix the machine and I will be receiving a full refund. I work out daily and the inconvenience alone is worth a 1 on this review. However, other things that were a problem were the fact that the pre-programmed workouts did not work properly, there was absolutely no tension change. I could only get tension changes if I used the manual program. Again, I purchased this machine in May of 2014. My first call to file a claim due to the...

    Manufacturer Defect

    I purchased this Elliptical 7/19/2014. Used very little until February 2015. Used it for 30 minutes at a time for five days straight till it broke. I had made no adjustments. It was setup the way it came from Walmart. I have pictures that show a manufacturer defect. Part of the front pulley that the belt runs on broke in two. It was round and a bearing fit in it. I called to get the part from manufacturer. They told me that I had to buy the Eddy mechanism for $347. The whole machine is priced at $348 at Walmart now. They did offer me a discount on the part, but I do not want to put $200 in something that is going to break soon. I believe they count on people not using it much, because it does hurt when you just start using it.
