In a bid to lose a few pounds after uni (too much alcohol & too many takeaways) I was looking for a good all round exercise machine, and ellipticaltrainers were recommended by some friends.
"Why?" I enquired.
"The answer is simple" came the reply, "they are a great cardiovascular work out and the pedals mimic the body's natural movements when running, so essentially you are running, but there is no impact - saving your joints and bones!"
"Genius!" I replied.
And so my quest to buy a machine began.
After looking at a variety of makes and models, I decided upon the York 3100 EllipticalTrainer & Cycle. It looked the sturdiest, could handle the most maximum weight (16 stone - not that I was this large, but obviously the larger the maximum weight, the stronger the machine), was from a brand that I had heard of and trusted ...
Advantages: Burns fat fast, heart rate monitor Disadvantages: Takes up alot of space
of any previous training you have done on the exerciser, but you can easily write this onto a note pad.

Once on the cross trainer you will find it's action very smooth and on the low setting very easy to use so is ideal for someone who is very unfit or not used to training. As your fitness improves the cross trainer is capable of keeping pace with those improvements to a high level of fitness.
Instructors recommend training at various speeds and the programs on the cross trainer allow this. The graph on the computer shows how the tension is set for each program, the higher the line the harder it is the lower the easier. Any time you find the going to hard or easy just press a button to adjust the tension.

This has got to be the most successful piece of exercise equipment we have ...
Advantages: Great fat burning exerciser. Automatic magnetic resistence. Disadvantages: Poor quality.
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 cross trainer in 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 cross trainer again but not this one. Lost 10lbs, my wife 6lbs in 1 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 cross trainers maybe one of these will be better.
Thanks for reading. ...
