Awful machine...worse customer service
By Dave A
I never write reviews but felt compelled to write one for the Freemotion f5.6 and its manufacturer, ICON Health & Fitness Inc. due to the awful experience I am having with this "lemon" of a machine. I purchased it in September 2010 from FitnessBlowout and it took a month to get delivered. In the two months that I have had it, it has not worked properly once. First it was the track Shield would not align properly, causing the wheel to scrape along the track shield. This apparently is a known issue because they had a replacement kit to send out. Next it was a screw on the handlebar that would not stay tightened. The solution for this was to glue it in place...how long do they expect that to work??? Incidentally, the same thing is happening on the opposite side. Last but not least, the power cord is faulty. The display turns on and off randomly. ICON is going to send a replacement per the warranty but will not expedite shipping unless I pay for it. According to customer service, that's the company's policy - no exceptions.So to recap, I paid $1200 for a piece of exercise equipment that has not worked properly once in 2 months and rather than spend $15 to overnight the part to me and resolve the issue ICON Health & Fitness has decided to further agitate an already severely agitated customer. It boggles my mind how incredibly short-sighted some companies can be.My advice would be to keep looking for a piece of equipment with a better (and longer) track record and a manufacturer that actually believes the customer comes first...I wish I did.

By Wes Mouch
This is a brand new product and it is the product you have been waiting for. The 35" stride is a full leg stride and an excellent workout.The programming is good not great but good.The problem is that the software has bugs. The sensors have bugs and the unit itself, it has bugs too. We've had technicians out twice and are about to call them again.When they get the bugs fixed wow this will be a great machine. Until then wait.

great machine, great workout
By Ana Garcia
Delivery - allow for 2 to 3 weeks - especially if "free delivery"Assembly - my machine came partially assembled. only parts I needed to put together was the bar handles (handles that read heart rate), bar where console seats and plastic covers for joints/screw covers. It is recommended for two people to put this machine together, but I was able to do it all by myself. It took me almost 3 hrs. You must be very careful when handling the wires - take your time, you do not want to damage any of the pins, otherwise you will experience problems with the console.The workout - I think this machine delivers what it promise. You can definately burn over 1,000 calories per hour. it has various pre-programed workouts -they are fun and make the time go by fast, you can try a differnt work out everyday. the fan helps you stay cool. I normally have a hard time breaking a sweat, not with this machine. I think this machine would work well for a short or tall person, the stride allows for a low impact, no stress on joints work out. i normally experience ankle pain when using eliptical machines, but not with this one.I would recommend this machine - its fun, easy to use and will deliver all that it promises. Also its size is pretty compact given the quality of this machine.
