Roger Black Gold Cross Trainer, H165cm x W70cm x D110cm, 8-Level Tension Control, Gym Equipment For Home

Product Information

Aimed at those who are REALLY on a tight budget, this space and money-saving 2-in-1 elliptical trainer is a winner! However, you may need to jump off and tighten a few screws to fix the problem, but this is usually the only adjustment you need to make with any of the three models in early use. Which Is The Best To use? While the idea of a 2-in-1 elliptical cross trainer is money and space-saving from the start, it can be quite an investment. Is your machine of choice the bike but you would like to mix things up with occasional cross-training? That’s perfectly fine, but then your focus should stay on the bike features.

The range gives you three different model options at slightly different price points. All fall within the mid-range in terms of pricing and features, but you definitely get an incremental feature and build quality improvement between the models, making it a serious decision in terms of which to buy. According to the OxfordLearnersDictionaries.com, the textbook definition of a cross trainer is “a piece of exercise equipment that you use standing up, with parts that you push up and down with your feet and parts that you hold onto and push with your arms”. A bit confusing, we think!

What is a Cross Trainer?

It is a very competitively priced piece of equipment that would suit most budgets and offers you excellent and efficient results that will help you burn calories and lose weight- whatever level of cardio you’re after. There is a clear instruction manual to show you how to do all these things, and also comes with guidance on exercises you can do and the best way to use the machine. You can see the full assembly instruction manual here. When there is a range of products that obviously is encouraging you to trade up to the top version, it can be tough to resist this. If you don’t need all the features and accompanying complexity of the top range product, then you have to make an informed decision about which version will suit your needs.

The Plus model is fairly straightforward, but users do report it can take up to 2 hours to complete. The average seems to be around 1 1/2 hours. This isn’t a problem if you are a beginner, but if you are hoping to keep your machine for the long term, then the 4.5kg flywheel and resistance levels will not be challenging enough if you are hoping to progress over time. This is especially true if you are a male, or a younger person. If you aren’t comfortable using the cross trainer arm function when you start out, just get used to the foot motion and slowly introduce the arm element when you are ready. Once you get in the cross trainer zone, you will likely notice a difference to your arm and leg tone, which is great news for those bingo wings and Summer fashion choices.However, if you want to take your fitness to the next level with user programs and more detailed information then you should be looking at the Gold and Platinum models. The more feature-rich control panels on these two models will help to keep your workouts interesting as well.
