What is the weight limit? I would use it for increased fitness, but mainly for weight loss, I currently weigh 350.

I am not sure about the weight limit, but I started using this when I was at 250. I have lost about 15. It is well built, for 350, you may want to look at some for higher quality. It is still doable and you will get good result.

The weight limit is 250#. I would recommend rowing for weight loss. The action of rowing spreads activity to many muscle groups but is quite low impact on joints. I don't believe a rail rower would work best for you because it requires fairly tight crunches. Some rowers do not require as tight of a curl on the release stroke.

The specifications of the manufacturer state that weight to be placed on this machine is limited to 250 lbs.

Purchased this for someone who weighed about 350 and it was perfect. If the weight limit says up to 450, I would give it a chance.

300lbs I was 250lbs when I got it. I'm currently 230 and it supports me just fine. Saves on my knees and back and as I have back problems and arthritis; it's a must.

I am not sure of the limit. I weighed around 220 when I started several months ago and it worked for me.

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though. I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However...

Although I don't know the exact weight rating I can tell you I weigh 250 pounds and it had no problem supporting my weight. It was certainly good for more. It was also more comfortable than the usual cheaper models.

I will go look to see if I can find a limit on the chair - I remember seeing something - but don't remember the amount - HOWEVER - I was 275Lbs when I used it and I used it a lot. It was a LIFE SAVER!!! I had two hip surgeries.

This is a very sturdy machine. I weigh 170 and have no issues. I think 300 would not be beyond it's capacity. I use this for bench curl, rowing, and leg curl only - I don't use it for leg extension.

They don't post it anywhere but once you buy it and receive it, the pamphlet reads at the very bottom that the weight limit is 220 pounds. If you choose to use it and you weigh more than that, you are risking it. If anything happens you can't blame them because you used it not in accordance with their rules. I do not know why they do not post the weight limit on this page. That's an important piece of information. 220 pounds is not much for overweight people trying to lose weight. I tried it for a few minutes anyway, and if you have any knee issues this will make them worse. It will burn more than walking, but you are risking injury in more than one way.

Only if you actually use it regularly. If you use it as a clothes hangar, stalk it, or use it as a statue it could possibly reduce your tone and fitness. It is an excellent fitness machine; the problem is it does nothing unless you actually use it appropriately. I've lost 20 pounds on mine, just 50 more to go.

Hopefully you are not carrying that much weight. I would not try and push that limit. Good luck.

I weigh 220 (all right, 225) and if I used it regularly I think it would break as it's a little flimsy. Worked fine for my mom (150).
