I went into this shop on recommendation of my parents who had recently purchased some equipment.\r
Salesman was extremely rude and condescending. Didn't even get a chance to ask a second question. Just turned around and walked out of the shop. \r
\r
Not sure if it was just a bad day for him or he would prefer to deal with 75+yr old senior citizens who, if like my parents, prefer to trust a shop owner's integrity versus thorough research on the Web. I'm not positive, but I believe the main brand carried was SPORTSART . Decent equipment , but with rsome eservations as stated on a top equipment review site - below.\r
\r
I was looking at model below price around $3300.\r

""SportsArt E 82 -The best of the SportsArt elliptical lineup . . . at this price we would buy a Precor.\r
The SportsArt E 82 is the most durable of their elliptical lineup. The E 82 has some mechanical and electrical upgrades from the 805 and 807 but the price is almost ridiculous. These machines are typically well built and reliable. Over the long term you will have some problems with the stride control motors. The only problem with this machine is that it should have an MSRP of around $2,499"".\r

BTW - my parents exercise bike sits in the corner of the room by Orthopedic Surgeons recommendation.
