Teeter FreeStep Recumbent Cross Trainer Stepper, Zero-Impact Exercise Bike Alternative w/Patented Physical Therapy Stride, Up to 350lb, Free App w/Trainer Workouts

This was simple to put together and super easy directions from the book. I got it done about 2- 2 1/2 hours but that’s due to having issues with the elbow guard nothing from the company at all. I had to use my own tool for that and to squeeze the guard together. Got on the machine and walla working out at home for the first time in 40 yrs of going to a gym. It’s about time I did this and this machine is what’s needed for my knee issue. I used an expensive one for knee rehab. So glad I finally leaped and got this. Now since I went to the gym I got the dial dumbbells and workout dvds. I highly recommend this machine. If I would have thought it more through I would have gotten the one with 21 levels all because it would be more challenging. Just saying for those whom workout that level 13 is quite easy for me (now I didn’t go for 30 minutes either. I started with level 1 and working through all levels). But if you are starting out, I will say this if you can afford to get the 21 levels than buy such. If you can’t afford the higher end one than get what you can afford. You won’t be disappointed at all. Any workout is a great way to stay flexible and be able to move about when you get older. Update april 22, 2026 I can say since I have been using this for a few weeks now that if you use your arms against your legs, makes your legs work harder and your arms. Which I was a tad sore the next day which is a good thing. I use the every other day and what’s nice is I watch my programs and welp walla I worked out either 30 mins or 45 minutes. Sometimes I go through 2 shows. Very nice and never thought I would love being home while working out 😊

I just put this together today. LOVE IT. Packaged extremely well, incredibly sturdy with perfectly machined heavy-duty parts. Very easy to put together. I have neuropathy in my hands but was able to fairly easily assemble this myself (I’m a mildly “handy” woman in case anyone is wondering) though it probably took me a little longer than average. The instructions are some of the best I’ve ever seen, so clear and easy to follow. Screws, bolts and washers all neatly se parated into small plastic bags for each stage of the assembly, no missing parts. After assembly I tried it out, and it is everything I wanted. This is a high quality, very sturdy machine, and beyond well worth the price. If you are worried about the quality because it’s only $750 and all the other machines like this are thousands of dollars, don’t be. I have pain and numbness in my hands and feet, and this machine is perfect. Big wide pedals so I don’t have to worry about my feet slipping off, easy to grip handles, very smooth motion and whisper quiet - it barely makes any noise at all. I was very impressed; in all ways it is better than I expected and more than I could hope for. If I had anything to complain about it would be that the seat bottom is a bit small for my bottom, but it still seemed comfortable when using the machine. I tried all the different positions (very easy to adjust the seat back angle, seat height and the many different arm handle positions) and it really seems like this recumbent elliptical hybrid can do it all. Also the place for my iPad is perfect, grips it nicely. I have A LOT of medical problems that make exercising difficult but I am looking forward to using this piece of equipment, and I can’t say enough good things about it. I thought buying one of these online was a bit risky (because what if after assembly I didn’t like it and had to return it?) but finding a store that has a few true hybrid ellipticals that are recumbent to select from and try out was not happening in central North Carolina. This machine exceeded my expectations and I urge those of you thinking about it to be comfortable choosing this one.

4 not 5 stars due to my personal needs. I an under 5 feet tall and that is just a bit too short. It causes my foot to hyperextend when rounding the elliptical. I have successfully modified the pedal without damaging or changing the machine. Comes in many many pieces. Hardware is well marked. Instructions are reasonable. 2 senior women were able to put this together. Machine is heavy and feels very sturdy. Gym machine I wanted was over $3000. This is a very budget friendly option. Machine runs smoothly. Display seems interesting but I am only interested in my time on it. Best feature is the tablet holder. It’s great. I am older, short and overweight. I am very conscious of my movements getting on and off as I know I am a fall risk. The machine itself is stable. Over all happy with purchase.

Good for exercise

I used to be very athletic but I used up all my mileage by the age of 45. So at 62, I, of course, have knee, hip and back pain, like most people who purchased this machine, and for the first time ever, I actually look forward to exercising! It is whisper quiet and almost too comfortable. Don't get me wrong, you can work up quite a sweat! I love that you can move your upper and lower body at the same time; this is exactly what I was hoping to find and the price is almost too reasonable, compared to other similar machines. Awesome! I've used it for a month now, and I have increased my endurance quite a bit. I use it almost every day for 30 minutes to an hour. I love it! Oh, I had one little issue, and this company (Teeter) is incredible!! They are very responsive and resolved the issues immediately. Can't say enough about them. I raved about my new exercise machine to my boss, so he bought one. Now he's hooked. My neighbor tried it and will buy one soon. I have to highly recommend this machine because it is effective and a great alternative to walking, or other impact exercises. I can't comment on assembly because my hubby assembled it while I was at work, but he said it took him less than an hour. He said unboxing it took longer.

This is the second stepper I have purchased. The first one bought in 2019, Jan. Unable to take it with me when I had to move. It helped me rehab from heart attack. I am 90 now and still use it everyday for 20 minutes plus. Can’t walk without a walker so this keeps me active and my breathing has improved. Love this machine.

Has ZERO noise level, first piece of equipment I have owned that doesn’t make some kind of noise which is awesome. I had my son who works in an auto repair shop put it together and it took him maybe an hour. While an allan was provided we did need to pull out my tool kit for a bit to make putting it together easier. This was mostly purchased for my 6’4” 220 lb son who has a brain injury and usually works with a trainer at the gym 2x a week, but we won’t go into that ( year of 2020 incase you’re reading this in the future). I am 5’6” I personally feel like there needs to be a bit more of a range length wise for the arms, but overall it’s a nice set up. You do kind of have to step over a small bar to get onto the seat so if you have mobility/stability issues keep that in mind ( always a concern for my son) Over all we have been using it twice a day for a month now and I have recommended it to others who miss the gym as much as we do. For us it does what we need, the price is decent, the quality of machine is very good and ZERO noise is perfect for working out any time.

It’s durable and stable and it’s not noisy, but it’s not helping me lose weight! That’s what i bought for me to workout and to lose weight!

We debated in the FreeStep for months and finally decided to buy it. We couldn't be happier! It's a great all over body workout and we feel so good after we've worked out. We've had other cardio machines and weren't happy with them, but we couldn't be happier with our FreeStep. We want to workout and we enjoy our workouts which is half the battle! Highly recommended!

Love this equipment . Easy to assemble . Very kind to the back. Quite. A bit bulky in size . But overall great for the price

good exercise bike
