My 68 year old Grandmother went to buy an elliptical trainer. The salesperson tried to sell her a $2800.00 elliptical. She has a hard time walking for 20 minutes. I don't think she needed to start with such a heavy duty machine. She felt pressured she didn't know what to do. So we went elsewhere and picked one up for $1200.00 It works great. High pressure selling doesn't always work.
