The very nature of cardio equipment is that when you use them you are grinding it down and wearing it out. I've worn down 4 or 5 ellipticals in the gym and had treadmills break while I am running on them, I'm only 170 lbs but using these things frequently ensures they will break. I would save the money if I were you, everytime I break one of the things in the gym I'm glad I did't spend money on them. I can feel how they slowly wear down, first you'll get little vibrations each rotation, then noises, then loud thuds and grinding noises and eventually it's kaput (that or the handles or computer will break). Just my opinion, buy something else unless you get a treadmill built like a tank. The best treadmills for low impact break the easiest and I've never seen a reasonably priced elliptical that's built to last.
