Reebok Cross Trainer

Product Information

The ZR8 also has built-in transport wheels to help you move it from one place to another, which helps with storage. The Reebok GX50 Cross Trainer, in my opinion, is a perfect mix between price and performance. The GX50 has everything I want and more, from a beautiful blue LCD screen to 32 levels of resistance and a comfortable 15′ stride length.

They’ve replaced my faulty equipment with brand new ones on several occasions. What Are The Features Like? I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised with the high quality from the Jet 100s right the way through from its design through to performance. Looking at a straight comparison to the ZR8, ZR10 there isn’t too much to separate them. The Jet 100s may be fractionally smaller and have less of a stride length, but only a gym enthusiast would even be able to tell the difference. ProsAnother significant factor to consider when purchasing an elliptical bike is the stride length. It aids in determining the amplitude of leg movement and, as a result, pedaling comfort. I will admit that I am slightly biased when it comes to Reebok equipment, at a very early stage they realised that a LEGO style manual of setup works best, which really does make their guides easy to follow. They are a dream compared to some budget non brand treadmills that require a spare afternoon to put together with a scrappy instruction booklet. I was, however, blown away by the level of attention to detail that went into labeling the screws and hardware. Not only that, but they also give a photo of each item for easy reference. Having said that, I’m convinced that most folks will get lost at certain points trying to put this thing together. For some unknown reason, the manual was printed in excessively small text that was agonizing to read. At 9kg I feel I get the best of both worlds: a smooth movement and a low price. Awesome Preset Workouts

Another advantage of the GX50 is that it includes a second set of fixed handlebars. Pulse sensors are embedded into these handlebars. They have a profound impact on how I use my cross-trainers. The ZR8 has pulse sensors on the stationary handlebars which allow you to measure your heart rate and to have a more balanced or more lower body-focused workout depending on where you choose to grip. The feet plates are oversized and have a non-slip design and offer a fantastic low-impact cardio workout. The 19 user programmes offered are made clear by the simple to understand diagrams located around the LCD screen itself. Even programmes that you may be unfamiliar with are made easier to understand with this setup and I was soon going through a 30 minute hill climb.This is quite a bold statement for what seems like a fairly straightforward cross trainer and suggests that anyone can climb on board and get something positive out of the experience. Is this the case or have buyers found the product’s limitations? Similarly, you can push hard on the footplates to train your leg muscles for a full-body lower-body workout. The GX50’s slip-resistant footplates and dual-action handlebars are ideal for both steady-pace and interval exercises, enhancing comfort and grip for optimal workouts.

There are two camps when it comes to putting this machine together. Some people blamed just about everything except the family cat when it comes to assembly. Others said this was very simple, and just a matter of laying out all the parts. Some assembly is required (fitness equipment very rarely ships complete). Some people complained that this was difficult, though others found it simple. If you are unsure, then you can always enlist some help! Programmable Console Levels of resistance is more than most cross trainers offer. You can start off very light, and if you have never used an elliptical, then I suggest you warm up slowly. This amount of versatility also makes the Reebok ZR8 suitable for multiple family members. Compared to other models, the ZR8 doesn’t take up a huge amount of space and as such it makes it ideal for a home workout – when compared to a treadmill, you are going to need much less space with this cross trainer while also executing a workout that is much kinder on your joints.Overall they have done a great job with the latest update and as people become more familiar with smartphone and tablets they should have no problems instantly being able to use this system. Pros Both the stationary and moving arms are well positioned, and the length of the latter means you can use a grip position that is comfortable for you no matter your height. The weight helps you keep an even pace from one rotation to the other and you can really notice the difference when compared to budget models. 15 inch stride length The Jet 100 treadmill scores very highly in our recent review. Today we take a closer look at another of the Jet range, this time the Jet 100 cross trainer to see how it compares to others in its class such as the ZR8 and ZR10. Cheapest Reebok Jet 100S Cross Trainer The truth is that they are all excellent and expertly designed to focus on both cardiovascular conditioning and muscular development.
