Any idea on where to try them out and if you have one, which one is good.

I figured in stead of watching the "biggest loser" on TV while stting on the couch, I'd "move" to it :-)

I am in Leesburg, and there is a sears by my house so I might check them out on my way home tonight.

Go to your local gym and ask them for a day pass to try out the machines to see if you want a membership. They normally do allow this in hopes of a new member. I personally don't own an elliptical as they are big and bulky. I have a Gazelle which is like the elliptical but its a cross-country skier and easily folds up for storage. I know someone down south just past richmond that has one for sale for $75 and it has all the "bells and whistles". Good Luck!!

Personally, I hate the elliptical! I own a gazelle and love it. I have knee problems from an accident years ago and the gazelle is the only machine that does not hurt me. But please do go to the gym and ask for a tour and day pass.

Another one for going to a gym to try one out. My hubby wanted one and I was totally against it. Well, we got it and I hated it. That was 2 years ago and has now become something that I go for on cross training days. In fact - I just did 45 minutes on one at the gym.

If you decide you want one, check out Sears and take a few for a test drive.
