The elliptical action on this cross trainer is very precise and the stride seems a better length than some others.

The top-end resistance will be adequate for most users (though very strong, fit, seasoned trainers may need to look at the Kettler CTR3 for gruelling high-wattage resistance).

The display is good too, shows all the information clearly including those all important calories; plenty of programmes to play about with, particularly interval ones which we feel are always very effective for both gains in fitness and weight control.

Two final points: the static handle bars are better placed than on other models; and secondly - whilst this last point does not affect performance - we have to say this is one of the best looking crosstrainers ever! Recommended. Rate £80.00 for 4 week hire.
