How effective is this machine for weight loss?

It would probably be a very effective tool for weight loss, If I were able to do the positions in the manual. I am disabled (Multiple Sclerosis), in a wheelchair and therefore not a great person to ask. When I first purchased the product, I called the number in the manual and actually spoke with the person depicted in the manual so I can say that it has been without a doubt the best money I've ever spent to help me aid in my mobility issues.

I haven't lost any weight, but that wasn't my goal. I bought it to tone up and develop definition. It works pretty well even though I don't 'bring it' as much as Tony and his crew do. If I did everything exactly as they say, I'm sure I'd look totally awesome.

LOL that depends on your workout/diet regime & your current weight and size. The trimmer only helps to shape your waist & shed water/sweat. It works great for me during my workouts but its not a miracle belt. Sweating helps to speed up metabolism and shed water weight. which is why its a big part of losing weight. If you're not sweating you're not shedding. The belt helps you do that.

I think it could help. In the past I have lost weight just doing 30 mins on the elliptical and 15 mins of weights 3 times a week. But every one is different. Good luck.

No it did not help with weight loss. It did help with hot flashes. I did not help w weight for me. Maybe someone else will have luck. Still a good product. L.Lee

Hi, I only have experiencce with the "performance" model. Unfortunately I sold it six months later during a temporary money crunch. I can't advise you on your specific question, but I will say "Damn I wish I had it back!" It was effective in maintaining my form during a time I couldn't work out.

I have done a bit of research online and I have discovered that although there are a lot of dummie sites claiming it is a miraculous weight loss aid, the tests carried out have shown at best it is of no help in losing weight. There is ZERO scientific evidence that it works. That is according to independent website dealing with reviewing health supplements. I'm sure if you google you will come across the said articles.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me it was a lot slower. I did lose weight, but it wasn't that extreme. My goal was 20 lbs and I'm about 3/4th of the way there. I can tell you one thing, it did help even when I wasn't exercising and that's always been a problem for me. Hope this helps!

Sure anything that gets you up moving and causes you to sweat will help lose weight but only a cardiovascular workout which is what this machine helps with won't help you lose a lot of weight. This machine is good when paired with a full workout that includes some strength training too.

I have lost about 5 lbs so far and I am only wanting to lose about 10 - 15 lbs. I really like the way it works, no irritability, nervousness or shakiness.

It really does work, I'm still using it and I've lost 13 pounds, but I suggest when taking it to drink a little more water. :)

It gave me more energy and I also started losing weight - gradually. I think I lost about 5 lbs in a month and kept it off. I think it rev's up a person's metabolism. it's actually a wonderful product IF it were not for the side-effects that *I* had experienced. It probably would work for most people - just not me. One just has to be careful when taking the product and also be diligent in one's research.

I'm not sure, it's a fairly sturdy piece of machinery....my husband had no trouble on it and he was 240 before losing weight..........

it is good for running and walking it has different types of mode that will help you lose weight I have it almost 5 years now, I never had any problem plus very easy to set up , these machines are not commercial made which means ok for residential use , should lost a very long time for a family use. it is also very affordable compare to so many other machines out there.

Yes, I have lost over 40lbs in 5 months doing the elliptical for about 50 minutes in the morning and doing a full hour of Zumba in the evening anywhere between 4-7 days a week. I was more consistentl with Zumba precisely because it was so much fun while getting a great calorie burn. Don't be too concerned about staying on beat, my motto was as long as I was moving I was burning and I lost going from a size 14-16 to down to a size 6-8 in only 5 months!

I use the machine and I'm 6'5, 250 lbs. When doing some exercises I need to lift my feet in the air because There is no where on the glideboard to put them when I'm laying down. But that makes it a better workout because I'm using my abdominals. As far as weight is concerned, I do some explosive excercises on the machine and it doesn't move or slide on the floor and the machine is pretty sturdy. I use the weight bar to add extra weight making the machine carry the maximum load of 350 lbs. The machine is solid. I definitley recommend it. I use it in combination with free weights. I love it.
