Due to an old injury one of my feet doesn’t flex properly and it puts a lot of strain on my knee. The Helix has helped tremendously regarding my knee pain. 5 stars for the workout, minus one star because the display will not sync with our home Wi-Fi and the pedals are too narrow for someone who toes out. Display sees our Wi-Fi network, but states signal is too weak so I stream Netflix on my tablet while working out. Programs work well. Injured foot toes out a bit and the front of my foot is on the pedal while my heel rests on the rim. Foot fits completely on the pedal barefoot no problem, but the added sneaker width causes heel to be on the rim. Mildly annoying, but functional.

I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains and love to hike. There is often no room for error and balance is absolutely necessary. I noticed that I was getting a bit more cautious about going down steep stairs and jumping across rocks. I needed to be more secure and balanced. I've been using my Helix for two months and can tell a huge difference. I feel solid on my feet. My legs are much stronger. I'm very excited to see how far this can take me with increased lower body strength.

I love the fact that you can take classes directly from the machine, like with Peloton, but that a Helix workout is faster (and better!!) than a Peloton workout. Also, I've been so scared that I will eventually get my dad's bad knees---so it's nice to know I'm protecting myself against that by strengthening muscles that wouldn't get worked if I was doing spinning classes instead. LOVE it.

I recently had knee surgery (torn meniscus) and wasn’t progressing very well with post surgery therapy

(wasn’t aggressive enough). After purchasing and using the HELIX my entire leg is stronger. I’m still dealing with some swelling and stiffness but overall I’m truly happy with this machine. And I dropped a few pounds to boot.

Great addition to our office!
