Amazon.com Product Description Enjoy a total body cardio workout without trudging to the gym day after day with the Body Rider BRD2000 dual cardio trainer. The BRD2000 is actually two fitness machines in one, with a pair of elliptical arms and foot pedals for upright elliptical use, as well as an adjustable seat that turns the machine into an exercise bike. As a result, users can vary their workout routines depending on the goals they're trying to achieve. The BRD2000 is built around a chain-driven fan wheel, with high-momentum fan blades that run quietly and smoothly without impacting your knees. (The fan also produces a gentle breeze as you exercise.) The electronic console, meanwhile, makes it easy to track your workout, with measurements for time, speed, distance, and calories burned. Finally, the unit's seat adjusts vertically and horizontally to fit users of different heights and weights. Too busy to hit the gym on a regular basis? The BRD2000 will help you see results in only 20 minutes per day three or four times a week. About Elliptical Trainers Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips. Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home. Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.
Product Description This patented 2-in-one Cardio Dual Trainer is used as an Elliptical Trainer or an Exercise Bike. The high momentum fan blades provide quiet and smooth rides with zero impact to your knees. The motivational electronic display console measures Time, Speed, Distance, and Calories Burned while you exercise. Use it only 20 minutes a day, 3 to 4 times a week, you will get the results that you always wanted.

Excellent Excerise Machine!!! September 30, 2009 Katherine S. Warner (Ohio) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love this product!! I haven't exercised for quite awhile. I have degenerative bone disease in my knees and lower back and hip. This has been very easy and low impact on my knees and lower back. It feels to get to exercise again. This was easy to put together and most of it was already done. It was packaged very well and came at the right time as indicated to me. I would recommend this to anybody who needs that low impact type of exercise. I have been using the bicycle part of it and have gone up to twenties minutes already. I am so pleased. This is certainly a wonderful machine!!!!!
Just what I wanted December 12, 2009 A. Pokrywka (Philadelphia, PA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was compact and inexpensive, just what I needed. I didn't want to spend hundreds for an elliptical if I was only going through an exercise phase. It was easy to put together, although I would use your own tools and not the ones it comes with. I love the seat. I can sit when my legs really start to burn without having to stop completely. It's a great starter machine. I would recommend it.
Pleasant Surprise December 21, 2009 V. Lewis (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have used this machine everyday for 5 days for at least 20-30 minutes and have already lost almost 3 pounds and almost an inch off of my waist! I am an absolute bargain hunter and will not spend more than I have to for anything. I believe this is a great product for the price and I got mine on sale for only $99 at Modell's! Certain things I don't trust having shipped so that is probably why I didn't have such a hard time others are. Sorry guys. It does exactly what its supposed to do. This product has been very good in performance. Smooth operation, not jarring. I use it primarily at night and it has not interrupted anyone's sleep. The bike seat is a great addition. Helps me work my thighs well and keep my heart rate up if I do not feel like standing. I am 5' 4" and I am comfortable using the machine. I did reverse the handles contrary to the instructions because it felt like I was punching towards the floor. Now they tilt inward towards me to prevent that feeling. The elliptical has a small footprint, it takes up a little over half the length of a yoga mat that I have it on. It has made a little more noise after a few days but a little WD-40 solved that problem. Thankfully I did not have an issue with any missing parts. Deal with a reputable seller and you will not be disappointed in the product for those of you looking for a good value. I gave it four stars for a not so accurate calorie counter since calories burnt vary from person to person. I use a heart monitor for that, now I just use the computer for the clock to keep my workout time.
Not that bad... September 14, 2009 E. Siegler 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I ordered this based on the price and the fact that it had a seat as well as the arm bars I read the reviews of more expensive models and had a bit of anxiety towards putting it together. It only took about an hour and as long as you use your own tools and not the dollar store rejects they give you should have no problems.
I am giving this only three stars based on 2 things, First I am 6foot tall and when I use it as an elliptical its a bit tight and I do tend to punch myself a little when it comes back but I solved that by reversing them.
The other reason is also the handles being a little short. It feels like I'm punching downward instead of parallel. This machine is definitely designed for smaller men or women. but, besides that I do get a decent workout on it. Overall if you're looking for a value I would recommend this.
Body Rider Elliptical Trainer December 13, 2009 M. Mortensen (Wisconsin) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a little dissapointed in this product because I checked out several other elliptical trainers before purchasing this one. They all mentioned that you had to have very long arms to use them. This one did'nt mention that specific problem, however, I am a short person, and I can hardly use this trainer because I have short arms also. I think you would have to be part monkey to be comfortable using this product. I will make the best of it because I cannot afford to waste $150.00.
