Wave Gym Machine

[satanboy]

I used the Wave Gym Machine at Virgin last night as all the treadmills were occupied (and there was a queue). The machine shows that you burn almost 50% more calories using it than the treadmill (for the same 20 minutes). Can this thing be believed? If so why aren't more people using it? There is no stress on the legs like when running.

Can't post a picture right now because I am at work, but just google Wave Gym Machine and you will find it.

I think it may be due to the fact that it is indeed more difficult to use and not the "norm" i know in our gym we have two different sets(brands) of elliptical machines, and the one set is just plain uncomfortable where the other is more comfortable.
