Hey,
I'm just getting into "working out" so I was wondering where I could buy an elliptical that isn't too much money but also won't break as soon as I step on it?

    How much are you looking to spend?

    That's a tough price range for a decent elliptical. You'll find that there are basically 3 levels - under $750, $750-1500, and $1500+. The under $750 tend to be crap and won't last if you actually use them. The mid-range is hit or miss, some are very good, some not so much. You have to count on the reviews to see which ones are worth buying. The high end is generally good equipment, but really expensive. Many get up in to the $3000-5000 range for the type you see at the gym.

    After looking at a ton of ellipticals we ended up getting the Livestrong LS10.0. The LS8.0 is similar any you can get it new for around $750-800. It's worth spending the extra couple hundred $ to get a quality machine.
