This machine is awesome! In 8 weeks I lost 30 lbs and 6 inches in my waist and 5 inches in my hips! The close placed foot pads and the longer
20.5" stride is so comfortable to use. My gym had the commercial model and when it closed I knew I needed to get a home OCTANE, have never been on any other elliptical so comfortable to use!

Octane Q35 Elliptical - Excellent, Problem Free by: David in Denver
We bought the Octane Q35 elliptical trainer in December 2008. After much research I decided that it would be better to get a simpler version of a better brand (like a good Mercedes) than a lesser brand with more bells and whistles. I have no regrets. The machine is smooth, the variations provided by the simple electronics are enough, and the unit is compact in comparison to other brands. I love the ability to move arms on the unit. The number one reason I like this machine is the natural curve that the arms have. The Octane Q35's arms move straight forward and back rather than inward toward the machine's center. If you try both, you'll see there's a slight ergonomic advantage to the pricier models.
