DESCRIPTION
Confidence Fitness, is a Palm Springs, California-based company that has been manufacturing various sporting goods for over 40 years. With its experience in the field of fitness, the brand has gradually established itself in Europe, where it now sells a whole range of equipment at very competitive prices.
The Confidence Fitness 'Space Saver' is an Elliptical (also called Cross Trainer) for those who want to train in the comfort of your own home. This type of bike is ideal for you keep in shape because it offers low impact cardiovascular exercise. As its name suggests, the Confidence Space Saver elliptical cross trainer has been designed to take up as little space as possible in your home. Its revolutionary design allows you to train even in small spaces. This compact device offers dimensions of 90 cm long and only 50 cm wide which, with increasing space constraints encountered by nowadays is a significant asset. The Confidence Space Saver is equipped with a 6-function computer that measures elapsed time, speed, distance, odometer, calories burned and pulse in real time. The resistance, magnetic type, is adjustable to allow a physical training adapted to your level of practice and physical form. The pedals are "non-slip" to ensure safe training even if the surface is moistened with water or perspiration.
A manual with instructions and assembly tools is included. The manufacturer guarantees the product for 1 year but do not expect a much longer life. With a maximum user weight of 100 kg (80 kg according to our recommendations), this bike is suitable for slightly overweight people but for others, it will be necessary to turn to more solid devices.
This machine is relatively easy to assemble (few parts and the assembly instructions are clear and easy to understand). A single person can complete the set in half an hour. The device, when assembled, is quite small, does not take up too much space and you can easily put it away after you finish your session.
The bike arrives completely disassembled, it takes 1 hour for assembly, taking your time. Assembly may present some difficulty for a person who is new to this type of product, but overall it is within everyone's reach.
When it comes to compactness, no doubt it is obvious. Its dimensions will allow owners with little space to train without sacrificing too much m². The information displayed on the screen is useful and quite reliable, but the screen is too small to see everything properly while exercising. The main downside is reliability and durability. This bike is indeed not very reliable in use, the screws of the arms are unscrewed and the tensioner is poorly fixed. Unpleasant squeaks are present during use. The bolts have to be tightened quite frequently. The machine is barely adequate but at this price, around 140 €, you shouldn't expect much else. The materials used to make this device are not solid and the bolts loosen after a few uses (especially column support). With regular use, if it lasts 2 or 3 years you may be considered happy.
From a training point of view, this bike offers decent performance without being extraordinary. The adjustable resistance is suitable for light to moderate use.

BOTTOM LINE
This device is barely good for regular use. Its overall quality of manufacture does not allow to be registered in the long term. Positive bridge, the compactness of the device and its light weight which make it possible to move and store it very easily but this is done to the detriment of stability and sturdiness.If you are on a tight budget, or the need to spend exorbitant amounts of money just to buy an exercise machine isn't justifiable, and little space in your home, this bike may be a purchase relevant but keep in mind that its lifespan will not exceed 2 years.
