The Fitness Club Feature is Excellent
My PT recommended that I look at an elliptical as I am starting to have some knee joint pain and he felt that this would be better for me than a treadmill which I was originally looking to buy. This is an excellent value with the features you get. The display is large and easy to read and use with all the direct buttons you push one button instead of scrolling. The pedals have a built in suspension and I am thankful that my PT recommended an elliptical for me as I have noticed ALOT less pain after working out! The motion is smooth and the machine is very quiet and easy to hear your music thru the console speakers or when you are wearing your headphones. The handlebars are really nice. I am not sure what they call it but the handlebars go towards the center of the elliptical instead of front to back and it feels more natural. I would recommend this to anyone especially if you are looking for a little extra motivation to stick with your routine, the Fitness Club should help.

Great Value For the Price
Our budget was $1000-$2000 range. We needed something that was not as big as some of the units at health clubs but wanted something solid (not a Gazelle type product), and this one fit the bill for me (6'1") and my wife (5'7"). I would say that we are moderate users and our anticipated usage is 6-8 hours per week.
It took me about an hour to assemble by myself and was simple and straightforward. We are very impressed with the machine. It is very simple to use (GREAT CONSOLE), very smooth, and extremely quiet!
The built-in pre-programmed routines offer a nice range and the Fitness Club has been nice for my wife and I to monitor and track our programs. Our daughter is now home from college and she is using it as well and plugs her iPod into the console and listens to music through the USB port.
We both really enjoy the arm motion and it feels very natural compared to pushing / pulling motion of the other units that we tried at The Sports Authority. We are very pleased with our purchase
