My experience with a recumbent elliptical had been with a NuStep machine, one of the first companies to market a recumbent elliptical, and I wound up buying one of those. I use it everyday. I have a physical disability that made the more bike like action of the HCI system impossible for me to use. Also, the arm action handles work in concert with the speed of the pedals and can't be disconnected. The faster you pedal the faster they go. I had a hard time returning the HCI and working with the 2nd party vendor that Amazon partnered with to market the machine. They had a large restocking fee and I had to pay the freight to return the heavy machine, even though the shipping was free when I bought it. I had to disassemble the machine, repack it, and make my own freight arrangements. It cost me a lot of time and money to return it, but it was worthless to me. The HCI might work for some, but I don't recommend it. I learned to check the return policy of 2nd party vendors working with Amazon before ordering anything from them, especially expensive items, because Amazon claims they aren't responsible for the return policies of such vendors, and are very little help **Q: Could someone provide the dimensions of the seat? what is the length of the part that touches the thigh and the post part in the center. thanks!** A: Please don't purchase this item. It is very uncomfortable to pedal. **Q: What is the shortest height (legs and arms) can this machine accommodate.?** A: The PhysioStep MDX accommodates users from 5' to 6'5". Please let us know if you have any other questions. Team HCI Fitness 206-739-5400 Langley, WA USA **Q: Does this item come with assembly instructions?** A: Yes. It comes with instructions for assembly. It was easy to assemble. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Fitness Tool *by on Reviewed in the United States November 25, 2013* I have two artificial hips and a tower in my back but I can still keep my legs fit by sitting on this everyday. I love that I'm exercising yet though I can't walk long lengths I can exercise and strengthen my legs. Although I do not like the arm cisers as they are way to far back on the bike so I took them off. This was an excellent investment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very well built, easy to assemble. awesome, stable and quiet *by on Reviewed in the United States April 2, 2013* This is an extremely well built product,goes together in a jiffyvery solid and stable.quiet and smooth in operation. very, very nice product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Machine is Quite Good -- But Not Perfect. . . *by on Reviewed in the United States March 11, 2017* The recumbent elliptical cross trainer (PhysioStep MDX) arrived ahead of schedule by about 2 weeks. The folks who delivered it were excellent. I asked them to put the box on our porch which they did and then they proceeded to unpack it. When they finished unpacking everything, they asked me where I wanted the machine (inside, only about 10 feet from the door) and they carried it inside and placed it exactly where I wanted it in the desired orientation (so I can watch TV while using it). Can’t ask for better service than that!After reading the user manual that came with the machine, I started to assemble it. It took me a couple of evenings to assemble it (I can’t remember how much time in hours). It was fairly easy to assemble and difficult to make mistakes. I guess I took longer than most people have taken but I’m kind of old and don’t move very fast anymore.The main problem I had during assembly was the mounting of the computer / display unit. The user manual instructions were for a different configuration display unit. I found that 2 of the Phillips head display mounting screws were behind and close to the display mount frame – too close to the frame to tighten with the provided Phillips head screwdriver. I had to get one of my right angle Phillips screwdrivers and then I was able to tighten the 2 screws without too much problem. One of the holes had a burr in it that I had to knock out with a small hammer and punch before the screw would pass through the hole.The next discrepancy was the rubber ‘hood’ over the display mount area; none of the holes in the ‘hood’ would line up with any holes in the mount itself. All the ‘hood’ holes were more than one inch too high. Considering how well all the other parts lined up, screw holes, etc., this was pretty surprising to have something this far out of alignment. Oh well, the ‘hood’ fits snugly over the parts it is supposed to cover and does not interfere with anything so it’s not a problem – just surprising considering how precision everything else seems to be.Once I had the machine set up and plugged in (it has no battery), I started to read the operating instructions. I had a very difficult time just understanding the basics because the manual had so many errors that much of it didn’t make sense. I gave up until the next day when I went online and located an updated user manual and downloaded the pdf file. The updated manual was fine! The operating instructions section was quite easy to comprehend because it was quite well written, with no obvious errors. I wish I had thought of looking for an updated manual before I started this project.Finally, my main purpose for obtaining this machine. When I started using it, after adjusting the seat position to fit me, I found that it is extremely quiet and smooth as silk when it’s in motion. It was a few days before I obtained a heartbeat transmitter system (belt around chest that transmits radio waves to the elliptical’s computer / display). I don’t think this elliptical’s pulse readout will work with Bluetooth transmitters although I could not find anything in the manual that specified what to get. I may have missed this information in the manual and I may be wrong but, to be safe, don’t get a Bluetooth heartbeat measuring system if you have this particular elliptical cross trainer.I’m still trying to understand what benefits the swivel seat adds. I have rotated it maybe 45 degrees (to clear the upright lever) to get off and on and I cannot see how this is any easier than not swiveling the seat and just getting on. If you look closely, one of the pictures displayed on Amazon has the right vertical lever removed to show the seat in the full swivel position. This includes the picture displayed with this review.Hope this helps any future buyers.Addendum (annoyance item) -- 4/18/2017:I wish the USB receptacle was located on the front of the display. It is located on the back side and I have had difficulty inserting my USB jump drive while still seated (at the end of an exercise session). I finally solved this problem by inserting a USB extension cable and then bringing the receptacle end around to the front of the display where it is much easier to insert my USB jump drive. ## Frequently Bought Together - HCI Fitness PhysioStep Recumbent Elliptical with Swivel Seat - WERCHO Exercise Equipment Mat 24"x68"/ 30"x60"/ 36"x78"/ 36"x96" Treadmill Mat Exercise Bike Mat for Stationary Spin Bike Trainer Elliptical Gym Workout Fitness Equipment Rower Mat for Hardwood Floors - Ellipse by LegXercise + Non-Slip Mat Bundle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/15080660-physiostep-mdx](https://www.desertcart.be/products/15080660-physiostep-mdx) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
