Can a lady put this together? Is this a good machine for a 50 something lady to use?

Sure, if you're ready to step up to the most under appreciated machine that will turn you into a, "smokin" 50 sumpin gal. trust me, I am 66.

yes,the only tool i needed beside the ones that came with it was a phillips screwdriver,just study the diagrams.lay out the parts and all the little bags that are in the big one and dive in,you should start with clamps all the way down and move them up till you find your zone,its a very sturdy machine.and remember the shocks will heat up

My husband put mine together but he said it wasn't hard to do. I really enjoy mine and I think it would be a great machine for you. I switched to this from running because of knee and heel problems and needed something lower impact. It works great and just from 20minutes 3-4 days a week, I've lost 35lbs

I'm a lady and didn't have any trouble putting it together by myself. Several reviews said it was really difficult to assemble and the directions were poor, but I didn't have any trouble. I did pay attention to the pictures though. I don't see why it wouldn't be a good machine for a 50-something woman to use. You can adjust the resistence to accomodate your strength level.

I had no problem putting it together and I am 50 something...it does have quite a bit of resistance.

It took my husband 45 minutes to put it together but he's Mr. Handyman. If you know how to use basic tools, like a screwdriver and wrench and maybe have an extra set of hands around, you should be able to do it. yes, I'm in my 60's and this machine is great, particularly because it's up off the floor, which is what I needed. My only criticism is that the resistance is pretty low. I'm not in shape at all but could use more resistance.

It's a little awkward,but if u have any mechanical experience and can read and follow instructions u shouldn't have a problem. Some advice, leave the plastic boots that are on the rowers off. They are not necessary.

Yes, it needs to be assembled. But it's very simple to put it together. One person can easily do it. I'm 65 and had no trouble at all.

It does come in alot of pieces. At first it was overwelming for me to sit and see all the parts but I took a deep breathe and followed the instructions - and little by little I put it together. I have to say I am 65 - so if I can do it - anyone can. One issue is that the instructions are all pictures - no specifics written instructions - to me made it harder than it had to be. But I did put it together in 2 afternoons - about 4 hours total

I would suggest having a drink or to before you start Kidding aside.. I think it would be nearly impossible for one person to put together If you have a spouse or friend to help it will be much better. That is particularly true with the handle assembly. I don't think it is conceivable that one person can do that part. Also make sure you have plenty of room and lay your parts out as they go together....,easy to get stuff reversed on it

I'm a 65 yr old grandmother and I did it all by myself in about 3 hours. If I'd had someone to help me hold some of the pieces in position, it probably would have taken half as long. I w!uld say this is pretty easy to put together. It's super sturdy and my grandson is crazy about it!

The machine come with all of the parts and a tool to put it together. I would say that it took me about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to put it together. The directions come with written instructions and a picture. There is a video that you can watch but I just followed the booklet. It says that assembly requires two people but I managed alone. I have put together other things before including furniture. I hope this was of help to you.

It's been a while, but I think I used a hammer and a screwdriver set to put it together, and some of the parts didn't fit together too well. Some of them were also a little heavy, and you must do a lot of leaning down (or kneeling down) while assembling it. I'm 57 and have rheumatoid arthritis, so it was a little tiring for me. I suppose if your health is good and you are in good shape, you should be able to do it.

Although the directions have warnings about putting it together without help, I was able to do it without problem. I am woman over the age of 60.

It's fairly difficult to construct. You will need to use glue. I'd say if your 12 or older you can put this together with only minor difficulties. One last thing,... It looks awesome!!

I'm a small woman and I set it up alone. Took about an hour. The thing is its bigger than a doorway so put it together in the room you want it in. It's also incredibly heavy. I managed to move it myself, but I struggled a lot.

I just put it together last night by myself with a handheld screwdriver. I'm 28, female, 110 lbs. A few pieces were a little tricky to balance while attaching things alone, but overall it was pretty basic.

Could you please tell me your opinion....can a 5'1" woman use this machine? I need someone's advice and since you have the machine, you would know better than some kid at a store.

Not much, as I recall only the front leg , the rear legs and the monitor need to be attached. Oh and the monitor arm also. They supply the tool to attach everything and ten hex key bolts to mount legs and monitor arm. Went together very easy, I'm a 48 year old lady and took me maybe 35-40 minutes to get put together. I love this machine and feel great using it, my husband likes it too.

I'm a female although pretty handy with tools, I was able to assemble it myself within an hour. I think I needed a screwdriver. I don't engender

This machine comes in two large boxes and is in a few pieces that are not too difficult to put together. The important thing is to be sure you level the unit before using it. That too isn't difficult to do. Good Luck.

No, but the instructions are great and it is not hard to assemble. My wife and I assembled it in about 45 minutes. We are both 65 years old.

Kathi F., no it is not completely assembled; however, I quickly assembled it, it is so simple. You won't have any difficulty. I love the machine. It is well built and strong. It really gives me a great workout. Of course, I'm in my 70's. Perhaps that's why I get such a great workout. Nonetheless, I move very fast. The faster, the more effective the workout. Hope you enjoy it.
