Not great for short women
My husband bought this elliptical several years ago, and I just recently started using it because being outside in the winter is not fun. I'm 5'2", 117lbs and I'm finding that I wish the arms were adjustable and that I could bring them back toward me a bit. I'm having to lean ever so slightly forwar...

Out standing elliptical
Verified Buyer
I Purchased this because my sugar level was getting a little too high. But my diet was fine, but my doctor said it was all about getting that heart beating at a rapid pace.
This is my second purchase of a Schwinn 470.

The fan blows to the side instead of directly at the user.

I use my elliptical every other day for one hour. I had a Nordic Track that I used so much I wore the machine out. It is a hard adjustment using this machine. I work out the same amount of time but burn half the calories and the workout is much more difficult. But I am committed to making this work for me. Just having a hard time with adjusting to this machine.
Excellent machine
Verified Buyer
I bought this model because I previously had a model 403 for about 12 years. Except for a display replacement it worked flawlessly over that time. But the program options were primitive and limited. So since the Schwinn seemed to be mechanically sound, I decided to get a newer model with the advanced programing. This has proven to be a good decision as the programs and incline option give a much better challenge. Only complaint is the various ticks and little mechanical noises that come and go with the rotation of the flywheel. Minor quibble but annoying nonetheless.

What heart rate belt works with a Schwinn 470 elliptical, brand and model #
- Asked by Charles
- Verified Reply - MorganHi! The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR® compatible model. (Coded POLAR® heart rate straps such as POLAR® OwnCode® chest straps will not work with this equipment.) Though your machine is Bluetooth® enabled, it is unable to receive input from a Bluetooth® enabled strap or other device.Was this answer helpful to you

How hard is it to assemble? Why would I need to pay the installation charge of $249 for a $899 piece of equipment? Sounds like a lot of money to get this thing put together, so maybe I should pass on this as others seem easier to install. What am I missing?
- Asked by Steve
- Verified Reply - ShawnaHello Steve! The cost for assembly takes into account various factors, including the size of the machine as well as the need for two people to complete the assembly. Before you decide against purchasing this piece of equipment, I recommend reviewing the assembly manual and the assembly video we created to go hand in hand with that assembly manual. The manual can be found here: https://www.schwinnfitness.com/manuals.html, and the assembly video can be found here: https://www.schwinnfitness.com/schwinn-assembly-videos.html.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
What brands of silicone lubricant do you recommend for the elliptical? Is there a benefit to a spray-on type versus one that uses more of a dropper-like applicator? How often should I be using the lubricant on the elliptical? Thanks.
- Asked by Inquiring Mind
- Verified Reply - DarleneHi! Great questions. We recommend 100% Silicone Based Lubricant. Do not use petroleum based products. Weekly: Check for smooth roller operation. Wipe the machine to remove dust, dirt, or grime. Clean the rails and surface of the rollers with a damp cloth. Apply silicone lubricant to a dry cloth and wipe the rails to eliminate roller noise. I hope this helps - Schwinn TeamWas this answer helpful to you
