Hi!!! Does anyone have a suggestion about either a brand or where to purchase an elliptical that would support someone that weighs 320 pounds? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks :-)

    I did a quick Google search and found this link on Yahoo! Answers. I hope it helps.

    Check out Amazon! I don't know much about ellipticals, but I just went there and this is the first one I clicked on. It can support 400 pounds, although it is expensive. But if you look through the descriptions you can probably find one that costs less and also supports enough weight.

    Unfortunately any piece of equipment built well enough to support higher weight is going to be quite spendy. You may be better off financially to join a gym.

    This, http://www.d icksssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13025720, is the one I have (remove the space in the url).

    It has a weight limit of 350 lbs.

    I absolutely love it! It's been far the best investment I've ever made in my health/wellbeing. :) What I like most is that the foot pedals are both very close together and very large. It makes for a wide range of placement options.

    thanks for the help folks!!! I figured the price would be up there, but I think the investment is better than going to a gym. thanks :-)

    The $1k for the elliptical I linked to at D!cks's Sporting Goods was absolutely worth the investment. It's makes it so much easier for me to workout when all I have to do is change and walk into my garage.
