...their service department about the fault with the computer and a new arrived in the post 2 days later, this one worked fine. When the drive belt crumbled emailed them again with a picture of the problem. They sent me a new bottom section of the crosstrainerin 3 days. The trouble is this one had the same problem as the first. One email later i had a full refund of the purchase price and the postage and packaging. They also said we could keep the exerciser and get it repaired if we wanted.
CONCLUSION
*****************
Would buy a crosstrainer again but not this one. Lost 10lbs, my wife 6lbs in1 month, so they work. The company had great after sales service but let down by inferior product. Maybe i was just unlucky. They have a selection of crosstrainers maybe one of these will be better.
Thanks for reading....

...I needed a replacement for an inferior V-Fit elliptical that broke within 2 months of buying it and set about looking at alternatives. A local gym instructor suggested I take a look at the Reebok range since they have a good reputation for quality, ease of use and being good value for money.
After a lot of looking around, reading up and research I decided to buy the Reebok 3 Series ellipticaltrainer. That was just over 14 months ago and I know that I made the right decision in purchasing this model.

When I opened the box I was amazed at the amount of pieces that needed putting together. That said, everything is clearly labelled with the ?L? or ?R? sticker indicating where it should go. Whilst a sticker may be a bit patronising at first it is very useful since the pieces do look very similar and it is not easy...
