Massive in size, expense and in results! November 15, 2008

In my personal effort to keep our economy moving, I decided to make my otherwise unused living room (save for the 2 dog crates that is) into a home gym. I have an old stationary bike, so we moved that into the space from my bedroom. I set out then to buy a treadmill and elliptical. I researched what to buy for days. I've never owned an elliptical, but have used a friends and know they give good workouts. I was not intending to spend this much money on one, but I was intrigued by the reviews that the Agile was part of the new technology. It seems that the arc-type trainers can give many more muscle groups a workout, and Smooth Fitness touts that you can strength and cardio train at the same time. I decided to bite the proverbial bullet and ordered one from their website. They sent me emails detailing the common-carrier freight shipping. It took around 2 weeks from the order until delivery.
My first real comment, besides the fact that you drop a lot of cash to buy this thing, is that you'd better be prepared for it's arrival, both mentally and physically. Smooth has a video and the manual on it's website that outlines how to put the thing together. I watched the video prior to the arrival and felt I was prepared. WRONG. This thing is so big, I can't even describe it. There are 2 boxes it is shipped in. The SMALL box weighs nearly 150lbs. The large box is truly huge. I'm so glad I was putting it into my relatively empty living room. It weighs some 330pounds. Now, I'd like to take a moment to describe my ability to put things together. In my 39 years, I have successfully assembled literally hundreds of pieces of furniture. I've even lent myself out to friends who are assembly-impaired. I've done massive desks, cribs, bookshelves, tables, credenzas, I mean you name it, I've assembled it. I'm good at it and I like doing it. Most things I do all by myself because I'm a perfectionist and I follow directions to a T. Ok, so you get the idea. Now, despite the manual and the video (which I kept referencing religiously as things spiralled out of control) it took me 8 HOURS to put this thing together. No lie. It was absolutely the most horrific experience I've had. This thing is zip tied by some sadists when they pack it. Don't get me wrong, I know it needs to be secure for shipping, but I had real problems just cutting some of the ties. In the video they just touch them with their box cutter and they break. Not in reality. I used a combination of box cutter, wire cutters and sharp scissors and really struggled. Also, I feel the manual is not easy to follow. It refers to pieces by name but there is no diagrams that name the major pieces. There are diagrams with the whole thing blown apart, but it contains every piece, down to the last screw, so it's way too overwhelming to figure out what is what. In the end, I was able to assemble the entire thing by myself, but it is definitely not for the faint of heart. I consider this the Everest of assembly required.
Now, given that it took me 8 hours of literal blood, sweat and tears (and cursing), how is it? Well, mine is still on top of it's cardboard box in the middle of the living room. It's so heavy, I can't lift it to roll it on its handy wheels to move it. I'm waiting for an unsuspecting friend to visit and be recruited to help me. I have jumped on briefly, and I just in the two minutes I was trying it out I felt different muscle groups burning with each change on the "motion" button. Love the thumb "motion" and "intensity" controls. One other beef I have with the manual is it is horrible at describing how to operate the thing. I would like to know what each of the 11 different motions actually is or what muscle groups each one targets. I can't find that information anywhere. There are no youtube videos of people using this thing or workouts posted. I suppose it's price point keeps it from being a wide-spread product. Anyway, I'm looking forward to really using it. I'll post an update in a few weeks detailing how I've done with it.
