Programmed with 12 workouts and capable of creating and saving four personalized workouts, this machine combines an elliptical strider and a stepper to provide upper- and lower-body exercise in addition to a low-impact cardiovascular workout. A battery-operated monitor displays time, height, weight, RPM, speed, distance, fat percentage, calories burned, metabolism rate, and heart rate. (Heart-rate sensors are built into a stationary hand grip.) Plus and minus buttons (+ and -) on the monitor allow a workout’s intensity level to be altered without interrupting the workout. The machine employs a heavy-weighted flywheel-resistance and belt-drive train so it operates silently and smoothly.
The elliptical mode blends stair climbing, cycling, skiing, and walking in a single movement. In forward motion, quadriceps, buttocks, lower abdomen, hips, and thighs are targeted. In reverse motion, hamstrings, lower buttocks, hips, thighs, and calves are targeted. The stepper mode works the same muscle groups with a vertical motion. Switching between modes is quick and easy. In either mode, dual-action handlebars–foam-padded for comfort–add an upper-body workout to tone and firm arms, chest, shoulders, and back. (The stationary hand grip offers an alternative to the handlebars.) A water bottle and bottle holder are positioned on the machine’s upright section. The cross-trainer’s frame is steel and aluminum. Floor protectors safeguard a workout area and prevent skidding. Assembled (instructions included), the machine measures 46 inches long x 30-3/4 inches wide and weighs 153 pounds.
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.

I bought this machine thinking it would be better… It was VERY heavy.. Put it together in about an hour and a half.. Returned it a week later.. I felt it was not worth the money.. It was not very smooth.. and overall was just not satisfied. Hoping my return goes through with no problem. It was not easy getting it packed back up again.

The Stamina 55-2065 Elliptical/Stepper is a nice piece of equipment. The assembly was pretty straight-forward, it took about an hour and thirty minutes which I don’t think is too bad. This machine is not totally quiet but it doesn’t make any squeaking, squealing and/or knocking noises like other ellipticals that I’ve tried. I love the great workout you get with this machine. It works almost every muscle in my body. The workout programs are quite challenging, which is a good thing. I’m still on Level 1 whereas when I was going to the gym and using their machines I was on Level 5. So this is no easy machine, again, that’s a good thing.
Likes:
- Straight-forward assembly
- Very nice looking and sleek design
- Takes up little space and quite compact especially if you want to put it in a small space like a bedroom(where I have mine).
- Two machines in one! It’s an elliptical and a stepper and it’s easy to switch from one to the other. There’s your value right there. No need to buy two machines.
- Well laid out out button controls and clear display
- A nice variety of different settings to try or to challenge yourself. They’ll always be a program that will give you the intense workout that you want. So this machine is great for people of all fitness levels.
Dislike:
- The dual action bars tend to be a bit on the wobbly side. No amount of screw tightening seems to alleviate this. I’m not sure if this is normal for this type of machine or my product has a defect of some kind.
Minor or knit-picking gripes
:
- I wish there was a heart rate monitor on the dual action bars and not just on the stationary bars.
- I wish the display was backlit.
- I wish the water bottle holder could accommodate thicker sized bottles. I know the machine comes with one but I like to use the one I’ve always used.
All and all, I’m quite pleased with the Stamina 55-2065. I did months of research to try and find the right elliptical. I read both the positive and negative reviews for other machines and I was scared to purchase one until I came across this one. I’m glad I listened to the reviews and got it. This is a solid machine and will definitely give you the workout you need. No more gym membership for me.

This is the coolest piece of equipment that I have ever owned. It works out your entire body. I have gotten the best workouts with this piece of equipment and I feel it in every muscle. I am glad that I made this investment and I recommend it to others.

This is as close to gym quality as you’ll find. For the money, its unbeatable. The elliptical is a far better workout than the stepper so you would probably never use the stepper feature. Perfectly silent, solid as a rock….smooth action, easy to assemble and a full function computer. Could use maybe one or two higher resistance levels, but still, the existing max isn’t bad. You will sweat like crazy on this. The body fat calculator, like all the rest out there is completely inaccurate and useless. Only the pinch caliper test gives an accurate body fat reading.
