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

Product Information

All of the models come with the tools you need to assemble, so you won’t need to find additional screwdrivers or spanners.

The Plus version is the budget one. It has the smallest flywheel weight, and has only eight resistance levels, compared to the 16 resistance levels of the Gold and Platinum models. Changing the resistance is also a manual process on the budget model, via a knob on the front post. And when you want to mix it up a bit, the 6kg flywheel gives you a fair amount of resistance and allows you to really push that leg workout. Before you get started on a cross trainer, albeit at home or in the gym, decide whether you want a functional, manual workout or one that is more high-tech and interactive. In short, many cross trainers will be similar in function although it really depends on your ‘wish list’ and budget. Whilst some machines might offer a greater choice of programmes, or even allow you to remember your workout or watch your favourite Netflix.com series, you are still exercising and working up a sweat, with or without the add-ons. The second key thing around storage is the fact that the lower price Plus model is 20cm than the other two models.

So, with such a small price difference between the three models, we would have to conclude that the extra features, build quality, stability and long-term progressive use you can get, the Platinum model offers brilliant value for money. For those who need extra safety and comfort, this machine will adhere to your needs, featuring wide slip-proof footplates, adjustable seat and handle position, fully adjustable resistance, and a solid steel frame to provide stability and maximum results. All three models in the range have a good variety of features for the price, that’s important to say. 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? All three models offer great value for money and any one of the three will be a great choice. Is just a case of making sure the model you choose will fit your needs both now and in the foreseeable future.

If you want to buy the best recumbent bike and elliptical combo, this is the right product for you. This high-end, sturdy but compact exercise machine provides you with a realistic outdoor workout experience. Aimed at those who are REALLY on a tight budget, this space and money-saving 2-in-1 elliptical trainer is a winner! In terms of storage, there are two key things you need to be aware of. The Gold and Platinum models require plugging into the mains for the control panel to remain active. This is not the case with the plus version which works by battery.This piece of equipment is an all-rounder- it is perfect to help you with your fitness regime with both the option to use as a cross trainer or an exercise bike. It is low impact, so you can burn those calories without worrying about hurting your joints. Depending on the type of programme you use, fat burning is a key component of your cross trainer experience, coupled with muscle toning as well. If the body doesn’t have fat to burn, it will create and enhance muscle definition.

This is the top of the range of three models. It’s still well within the general mid-range price point for a home model but comes with a really competitive range of features and a good specification. When you step onto the cross trainer for the first time, make sure you are wearing comfortable clothing and trainers that are already worn in a little. Ensure your room is well ventilated and that you have some water to keep you hydrated during your training session.

Alternative Cross Trainers & Ellipticals

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. As the name suggests, this equipment is usable for two purposes: as a cross trainer or an exercise bike. With a high resistance from the handles and the pedals, the machine offers a full body workout when you use it as a cross trainer. Another cheap but sturdy machine is this light-weight hybrid bike and cross-trainer. With only 28 kg of weight, it’s easily stored and fits any corner. The more advanced Gold model is also simple to use, but obviously you will have to interact with the more advanced control panel to get the best out of it. The heavier flywheel gives you a better range of options, and a more solid base to work from, plus a smoother ride. 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 target buyers for this hybrid cross trainer and exercise bike range from total beginners to advanced workout enthusiasts. This is why it’s important to base your decision-making on these essential criteria: Who is going to use it? For those of you who might have knee or posture issues, a cross trainer is a sound choice of home fitness equipment as it allows you to maintain the same postural position and also puts limited stress on your knees and joints. As with any piece of equipment, you get to know your pace and comfort zone so if any niggles start to appear, you can slow down or change your programme as you exercise. Imagine you’re a power walker on a Miami sidewalk who carries weights or who uses your arm movements to leverage maximum power as you walk. You get the picture? A cross trainer allows you to create a similar workout albeit without physically moving and without South Beach as your view (unless you choose an interactive workout programme). This machine is often highlighted as the “best” value, which in many ways it is. But for just a few pounds more, you get a flywheel that is 2kg heavier, longer stride length and a more feature rich and user-friendly computer console. For bikes, especially, folding bikes, the motor is housed internally and comes as one complete unit when dismantled. If a small internal mechanism is required for your machine, the way our logistics business is set up, non-moveable parts cannot be sent or machines stripped down.The machine is fairly easy to assemble. The main base frame comes assembled, but all the smaller parts then have to be attached on. For ease, all the parts are numbered in the instructions and tools are provided.

There are also transportation wheels to allow you to move the equipment easily.
