For cardio? An ergometer (rowing machine). Concept 2 is the gold standard. Super well-made, and will give you a fantastic workout, provided you use it properly. Also helps build muscle, which is nice.

Thanks - but the max trainer isn’t weights, it’s a cross between a stair climber/elliptical workout.

Any other suggestions?

Someone recommended a Bowflex Max Trainer to us for a good workout machine - it’s a quick workout that your whole body will feel. Any similar machines we should consider before pulling the trigger on this one? We like that it’s a whole body workout and has a small footprint.
