Is the treadmill hard to assemble by myself?

It's better with two people. But it is possible for one person to assemble.

Yes, I wouldn't recommend assembling by yourself. Especially if you need to carry the item up stairs or move it around as it is very heavy. Once you have it in the location you'd like to use it, a helping hand is useful to keep the spring loaded parts in position for assembly. It took myself and my husband to carry it up 2 flights of stairs. I really would have liked a 3rd person for stair lifting. I think it would have been entirely possible for me to assemble it by myself once it was in the right place, but it sure goes by faster with two people.

Hi, Sonia! It was not difficult, the instructions were fairly good. but, the treadmill part is heavy, so if you can have the delivery people put it where it is supposed to be set up that would help. I did it all myself in about 2 hrs. Just be smart about the heavy part. I laid it on the ground and cut the box away then pulled it out from underneath.

Some parts are heavy and i am a weight lifter. But not too heavy...I did it by myself.

I'm sure there are some people who could accomplish assembling it alone, but I wouldn't advise it.

I love mine. I can do it by myself no problem. Its a little faster with 2 persons but not by much.

It was not that difficult. The machine was together in under 20 minutes. It may be helpful to have a second person helping but not completely necessary. I did this on my own. The most frustrating part is getting the wires in position, that's where most of the time is spent.

Yes, it can be a little difficult but if you rotate it as you push it or pull it. You can move it alone fairly easy especially after u do it a couple of times. Otherwise it is a pretty decent product

I had to assemble mine. I didn't think it was really very hard. It's worth the effort, I love mine.

I am a fairly handy do it yourself older female. I purchased this while I was having some work done on my home so I took advantage of an extra person. The assembly is straightforward but it is somewhat awkward to raise alone. Everything is assembled by sliding pieces through slots, so I imagine once it was pulled out of the ground or off the anchors and laid on its side, it would pull apart.

No. And it takes two people to assemble it well. I did it alone but it wasn't easy. Also, while I still use it after a recent move, it doesn't travel well,.either.

No, you have to put it together but it was not very difficult. Probably took me by myself 20 minutes.

I'm a healthy 60 woman, and I put it together by myself. HOWEVER....it almost required standing on my head. It took me about three hours by myself. Definitely try to have a second person for balancing panels and holding things level! That being said, it's a nice piece for the price and solidly holds a large flat screen TV.

I'm a lady and didn't have any trouble putting it together by myself. Several reviews said it was really difficult to assemble and the directions were poor, but I didn't have any trouble. I did pay attention to the pictures though. I don't see why it wouldn't be a good machine for a 50-something woman to use. You can adjust the resistence to accomodate your strength level.

No, you have to assemble. It is not hard as long as you have proper tools and follow instructions.

Joy, I had my son & his girlfriend put it together & she did most of the detail work, they said it was little difficult but they got it done in 3 hours. It is a nice Elliptical, hope this helps.

Anybody with a strong back and a little bit of mechanical knowledge can put it together easily. Even by yourself. It's much easier with two people but I did mine by myself.

I had some trouble assembling mine and it took about an hour. The first step was the hardest. When I laid the frame directly on the floor on its side as described, the base didn't line up at all and it looked like I was going to have to force it into place. That's probably why two people are recommended, one to hold the device and one to assemble. I lined it up better by propping up that end of the frame on 1-2 inches of cardboard so the base lined up way more easily. The rest of assembly was easy by comparison. It is a nice looking model and seems to work fine. I have a lot of experience using treadmills at the gym and this one looks like a good model for the price.

Kathi F., no it is not completely assembled; however, I quickly assembled it, it is so simple. You won't have any difficulty. I love the machine. It is well built and strong. It really gives me a great workout. Of course, I'm in my 70's. Perhaps that's why I get such a great workout. Nonetheless, I move very fast. The faster, the more effective the workout. Hope you enjoy it.

you must assemble it but it is not hard. I did it myself and usually I leave those types of things to the hubby.

Yes. I think it is heavy. Around 80 Kg (176 pounds) if I recall correct the weight was written on the box. So, you need another person to help if you gonna move it by your self to your house. However, after you install the treadmill it much easier to move because it fold-up and has wheels. Good luck
