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

I bought the Teeter freestep recumbent cross trainer LT1. So far so good. I don't like that the seat doesn't move forward or backward. I think that could have been included in this model for the price they charge. But anyway it serves my needs. I was using the professional kind at my physiotherapy sessions. I decided to get one so I can continue the workouts at home.

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.

Overall, excellent piece of equipment (if not too restricted in movement/not too overweight), provides a very good adjustable intensity workout and range of motion, is easier on the joints then most equipment of this type. Overall an excellent piece of equipment that provides a very good adjustable intensity workout and range of motion and is easier on the joints then most equipment of this type. However, IMO, a design flaw that needs to be improved. If you are limited in motion, a senior? with joint paint and or too overweight you might need help getting on and off of this machine without worry that you might slip/fall on mount or dismount; (providing a simple T-Bar behind and above the seat would also help provide a better hand hold). If, IMO teeter could somehow reduce the height of the bars that you have to step over so that you could easily lift your leg up and over to/from the pedals to more easily mount/dismount and lower the seat level so a shorter person could mount/dismount easier than I would improve the rating to a 5 star. For most people who are not physically challenged then because of the way the pedals move up and down as opposed to a bike like circular motion, then this machine is much easier on the knees/hips etc. Also if you raise and put your feet up (as the video shows) you can get an excellent upper body workout while resting the legs and provides variety while giving a really good workout to your arms/shoulders. The seat levels are adjustable for taller people and overall if you are Not too physically disabled/challenged this is an excellent piece of equipment that with some modification by the mfgr could be great for almost everyone. Note: we bought a wider separate padded seat cushion to put over the seat provided that also helps. Suggest that mfgr widen the seat, but again for most people in my opinion, it is high quality constructed and provides a really good exercise/conditioning workout, is quiet and time flies on it when watching TV.

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 love my Teeter! Breaking it out of the Delivery box was more challenging than the assembly. I put it together by myself. using the video instructions it was perfect. It’s a pretty solid workout machine, and I really like the ease of using it. I decided to put the benefit of walking after a meal to the test by using my Teeter for 20 to 30 minutes after each meal and to my surprise I truly believe I’m seeing results I couldn’t be happier. The price was perfect. it doesn’t take up too much space it was easy to put together. My only drawback was the seat was very hard and made it challenging for longer workouts, so I simply ordered the cushion seat which also came timely and it has changed everything. Well worth the price.

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.

The Teeter Freestep is a very "AVERAGE" home ex piece of equipment. It will get the job done, but very light wt materials and not smooth elliptical pedal motion...maybe it will improve as more broke in? I would limit the max wt to 250Lbs. I am a PT w 35yrs of experience. I am a very fit 61yo, 6',2" 215lb male. Also, I am a VERY Frugal/Budget oriented ex equip buyer for my private practice clinic. I buy most of my ex equip off Amazon. Some pieces cost > $2-4000 in order to accommodate larger pts and complex rehab pt's etc.. But, for my "normal Gym "worker outers" I often try less expensive ex machines and many times they do quite well. However, This one looks far better in marketing video then "actual" in person. I would pay NO MORE then $350 for this machine. For the same apx $800 (or less) you'd be better served getting the ProForm 16.0 MME Stepper, or the ProForm Cardio HIIT. For those whom can only sit, get one of the Stamina stationary bikes for apx $250-$350 and add an "ergometer" upper extremity pedaling for about $150 more and save a few hundred dollars. And NO, I am NOT a ProForm or Stamina Sales Rep. I am a PT in OHIO. Good Health to you. *Mr Teeter, lower your price to $350, $400 max..You'll still make lots of money and then I would recommend this piece of ex equipment...but not at $799...too many other better values to choose from.

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
