I bought this unit to allow myself to have a reasonable aerobic without damaging my joints any further. It works very well and its small footprint is wonderful. The instructions say it takes two people to put together but I put mine together by myself although I wont say it isnt without its challenge. The reason you should have two people is because when opening the unit from a half circle to full, the spring tension is extremely tight as it should be and if youre not careful when doing it by yourself, you easily could get injured. Therefore, I recommend two people for safety reasons. Im very happy with my unit but a little disappointed that it isnt really as portable as its said to be. Once that unit is opened up, closing it again would not be without challenges. Once again, due to the spring tension. The unit is very sturdy and so far so good. The handle being taller for an adult does wiggle a little bit but nothing that concerns me. Overall, Im quite pleased.
Really nice piece of equipment
