Elliptical too heavy for second floor bonus room over garage?

I wanted to post this before I got the machine out of its box.

I recently bought this elliptical machine. The box says that it weighs 130 lbs. I weight 170 lbs and was curious whether or not this would be bad for the floor of my bonus room that is above me garage.

Does anyone have any experience with using an elliptical on anything other than the first story of your house? Is it something that I should worry about?

Here's what my house looks like.

Should not be a problem on the second floor. Think of all the weight that bedroom furniture and the people place on a second story bedroom. By the way that is a great elliptical.

Thanks for the response and also, thanks for the compliment! I know its not the quality you guys shoot for in ellipticals, but I appreciate you making me feel good about my purchase, nonetheless.

As a former builders apprentice I can pretty much tell you that it wont be to heavy for that floor. But then again would you believe some character on the internet dum dum dum

Oh yeah, 300lbs is nothing for the support beams. If you have 2x8's then I wouldn't start getting worrired till the 1000-1500lbs mark.

Yeah, should be alright. Although, bedroom furniture generally spreads the weight out more. Nice house btw . Looks nearly exactly like my grandparents house in South Carolina, you live there?

Thanks for your responses, guys. I was on the elliptical for 1hr15min over the weekend. I think it'll be fine.
