MARCYBionic Body Magnetic Tension Under-Desk Elliptical Mini Stepper Trainer with Resistance Tubes NS-1009, One Size

I like the sturdiness of the product, but that means it is very heavy. It has a handle that makes it a little easier, but still too heavy to move around a lot. It is so quiet, so watching tv is easy to do while using the elliptical. Many options for resistance.

Easy to put together, all tools included. It makes a little noise but is quiet enough that none of my coworkers hear it. It fits under my desk perfectly so I can use it sitting down or lift my desk & use it standing. I really like it. I gave it only 4 stars because it has that new lubricated smell. It's tolerable but, I'm hoping it goes away. I use it several hours at work 5 days a week. It's been 2 weeks now. Also, the handle is fabulous for repositioning it.

This one came with a serious bolt and its 3 washers missing from the end of the right pedal crank, allowing the foot piece to fall off, right away.I have made temporary repairs and put in a trouble ticket to Marcypro.com to get the proper parts.It allows peddling from a chair, but will also accommodate an average to smaller sized person to stand on it and pedal, as long as they have reasonably good balance. It weighs 35 pounds and has a great handle for adjusting and relocating. Made in China.

This is a really heavy duty piece of home equipment--it weighs over 40 lbs so it's pretty hard to move it around (the handles help). I found the forward pitch took some getting used to, and it also meant that I couldn't really use it while sitting. And the arm bands were mostly useless since you can't adjust the length or tension, it doesn't really make sense what exercises you could do while stepping. This was a well made machine that did help me get some exercise during covid shutdowns, but it's not ideal.

Was simple to put together. But after just a month it’s already not working. So definitely wasn’t worth it.

Been using it for nine (9) days to supplement 30 minute per day treadmill walks. I use in standup position for 15 minutes 2 to 3 times a day (daily). Exertion level feels like a brisk walk. Within one (1) week I have noticed strength and endurance improvements. For years, I have regularly worked out at a commercial gym (strength training and cardio). Including commercial elliptical machines. I don't ever recall experiencing such noticeable improvements. I'm actually wondering what is so different about this machine/routine.

Before I start, I want to say that I waited until a few months (I bought it 3 months ago, in May) so I didn't drop an overexcited review but a fair one.Overall, the thing does what it's supposed to do. On the brightside, it's beautiful, small, and the screen remembers your last session so you only reset it if you want to. The resistence levels are nice. I think I would've liked the resistence bands to be stronger. I like the fact that I can use it sitting or standing and that it's actually kind of fun, and when I do it standing, it is very tiring!However, there are some actual flaws. Two of them ever since I got it. That being said, I'll start with the fact that after a month at most, it became very noisy. On every step, it squeaks and it's somewhat a loud squeak. It goes away, but it comes back every time. That is the least of my complains, though. The leveling lever is of poor quality, and you have to be very careful not to touch it or it will reset to the lowest strength, and then setting it back up is also a pain in the ass, since it's so fragile it doesn't stay in position easily. The other problem is the screen: I'm convinced that they could've spent 3 more dollars in a better screen that instead of one button it had 2 or 3. The problem is that the sensors aren't very good, so the screen sometimes stops recording the steps and time, or it just won't start recording. Resetting the screen doesn't do anything. The best way I found to kind of force the restart is setting the lever to the lowest strength, but as I said, then it's not necessarily easy to put it back where I want it.After a month, I called amazon and supposedly, the manufacturer would call me but it didn't happen.The reason that I'm giving 2 stars is because, even though the lever and counter/screen seem a naive problem, they are a pain in the ass. It's been times in which I was exercising and that thing decided to stop recording (the sensors, I guess, aren't very good either) and I didn't realized until later, so there was no way to know when it had stopped. Also, it would be nice to provide instructions on how the screen is supposed to behave. Maybe all I've described it's actually expected, but it's still super annoying.

All the other products that I purchased before were very noisy. This one is very quiet, even after using it for about six months now. It is a touch on the heavy side, but other than that, I don't have any issues with this product and am very satisfied.

Excellent delivery. Great machine, very easy to assemble. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Bionic Body is a stationary bike, not a mini elliptical trainer! Misleading ad. Not suitable for me. Thumbs down!

It's a little to large to fit under my small desk, but I always use it in the standing position so not a big deal. I try to jump on for 100 steps at medium-high resistance between meetings while working from home and have noticed some weight loss within 2 weeks.Takes a few workouts to get used to the shorter stride, as well as the forward-pitch (if using in the stepper position), but overall not a steep learning curve.Great compact machine for those looking for a potentially varied workout.

Easy to use, comfortable, well made, sturdy,

This seems to be a sturdy piece of equipment. However, the range of motion is limited. For myself I cannot use it standing up. It's very awkward to use standing up. I tried & I feel like I'm going to fall over. In recumbent bike mode you have to dial up the resistance to the top to get any kind of exertion. The placement of the resistance bands isn't ideal either as it hits the pedals. I think this item is overpriced. But I can't return it now anyway.
