This item is featured on the Biggest Loser show, has anyone used them before, if so what is your impression of them? Very costly to own however. I sure would like to replace my elliptical machine for an Arc Trainer.

They have them at my gym. I LOVE it. It burns calories like crazy. For example, the other day I burned (according to the machines) 133 calories in 30 minutes on the recumbent bike, and 188 calories in 15 minutes on the Arc. It's extremely low impact, too.

Me too! I wish my current gym had them. I got much better results than the elliptical when I was using it. It was so much more fun too. Kinda like biking standing up or running in the air.
