    I’ve had mine nearly ten years, showing some signs of wear but replace a bolt or two and she keeps on rolling.

      Just assembled my EX-59 and I can’t get the console to work.
      It was easy to assemble and feels sturdy enough. I just wanted to use the console features.

      Hi Mark,
      Typically you can add 18″ to your overall height to determine ceiling height. The EX-59 has a step on height of 10 inches but I’m not sure of the exact center height of the elliptical pattern. I “think” you would be okay but you should reach out to customer service by phone before ordering and have them provide exact ceiling requirement.

        I have been using the Ex-59 for a week now and I am very satisfied. Assembly was very easy, instructions are broken down step by step, you can’t go wrong. All the tools you need are supplied. The machine is smooth, quiet and stable and has a relatively small foot print. The cost of this elliptical is very reasonable for the quality of this product. All that is left is to use it consistently and stay motivated and look forward to looking and feeling better.
