Elliptical is much gentler on your knees if you've ever had problems.

Re: poll which one if you could only get one

I think the treadmill gives me a better workout.

Re: poll which one if you could only get one

I like the elliptical but I feel the treadmill is more versatile.

Sometimes I just want to walk.

The elliptical will only do 1 thing.

The treadmill will allow you to walk, do incline/hills and run.

I would get an ellipitcal. For me, if I wanted to go I could just go to the park and run. You can't go outside and ride an elliptical.

Definitely the elliptical. Besides the fact that I prefer it because I find the motion of it easier on my body, I feel like it gives you a workout that you can't get through other exercises. The treadmill is just a substitute for walking and running, which you can do outside. The elliptical works different muscles.

Treadmill for me - I just prefer walking or running to the elliptical. I guess there is similar variation on the elliptical but I like the different things on a treadmill - elevations, increasing speed, walking/sprinting, etc.
Personal choice for me.

I love the elliptical. I find that I burn a lot more calories using that than a treadmill. PLUS, an elliptical is a lot less harsh on your body. I ran on the treadmill at the gym on Monday and my knees and calves were killing me!! I think I had a pinched nerve.

I am selling an elliptical. Barely used. FM me if you are interested.
