Reebok Cross Trainer

Product Information

Other than that, the display gives you up-to-date values for the typical metrics you’d expect to see: calories burned, RPM, time, distance, watts and your heart rate, provided by the built-in pulse sensors in the handlebars. Resistance Levels

Unlevel or unbalance. If you’re on the trainer and notice that it wobbles or is unbalanced, you’ll want to use the levelers at the bottom of the unit if they exist. A general rule of thumb is to tighten the four levelers completely, and then slowly unscrew the levelers and test the machine’s balance. You’ll eventually find the right level and balance your cross trainer. You may want to position the trainer on a solid surface for better stability. From the moment you get on the ZR8 it feels like a quality machine. It is heavier than some other cross trainers in the same category but that is always a sign of quality and only help to keep the unit balanced during use. Much like the GX50 it comes with a 9kg fly wheel that gives the feeling of a very weighted and smooth action during use. You simply can’t fault this unit for the price. It lands directly in that spot above the more basic budget cross trainers and makes you think think ‘should I go that little bit extra and get the ZR8?’ I would recommend if you are on a tight budget then you save a little more on your next pay day and get the Reebok ZR8. You won’t be disappointed, the price vs performance ratio is simply incredible. Reebok ZR8 Cross Trainer Voucher Code There are no less than 12 pre-set workout programmes to choose from, and of course you can also control your workout manually should you so wish with everything controlled by the simplified centre console. There are 7 clearly labelled buttons beneath the 5.75″ LCD screen which allow you to control the workout as well as allowing you to go into recovery mode at the touch of a button.People will have different natural tension levels as body weight is a factor on how easily people can turn the flywheel. Reebok have done a great job with the ZR9 by allowing some many different tension levels that can be used manually or part of a programme. 9kg flywheel The good news is, I had no problems whatsoever using the ZR8! It has a maximum user weight of 120kg (around 18 stone) and feels like a machine you’d find in any commercial gym. Good job catering to people of all shapes and sizes Reebok!

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. The Reebook ZR8 has some pretty decent technical specifications when compared to other cross trainers in its class. Sporting a 9kg flywheel and 32 levels of electronic resistance, the ZR8 provides a challenging but smooth and fluid workout feel. A common features on most gym equipment is a pulse sensor, Reebok have done a very good job of integration and simply switching to hold onto the static bars will give you a reading. The bars also double up as a nice way of working your lower body harder during a workout. Some users are saying that during use they are hearing a squeaking noise, this is a common complaint with gym equipment manufacturers. There is a chance that your item has been in storage for a period of time that has dried out some of the oil used during manufacture. A simple spray with WD40 or with lubricant provided will fix this 99/100 times. Much like the rest of the ZR family the ZR9 has an impressive 9kg fly wheel. The weight of the flywheel is important as this feature is what gives your workout fluid movement while in use.As this is a top end Reebok cross trainer I was expecting more than its cheaper modals and that’s exactly what I got. 32 levels of tension control allows you to set your ideal starting level and as you progress in strength over time you can make fine adjustments to suit. Preventative maintenance will largely depend on the cross trainer that you own. I recommend locating the manual that came with your model and flipping to the maintenance or troubleshooting guide provided. Incorrect speed. When the console is displaying an incorrect speed, the key issue could be the wiring, console or the reed switch. Be sure to unplug your machine and locate the reed switch. You may need to adjust the switch to ensure that it’s close enough to the magnet to detect the speed. You may also have an issue with the console, which may require replacement. I don’t know about you, but waiting in line to use the elliptical equipment at my gym during peak hours is ridiculous. The elliptical cross trainer is one of my primary exercise devices, and my work output would be incomplete without it. When the box arrived it was exactly what I was expecting after the recent review of the Reebok GX50. It weighed in at 50kgs, cross trainers always look longer than you would think as the base unit comes as almost as a complete piece.

The use of adjustable foot plates and transport wheels are always nice touches when making a machine more convenient for the home but most satisfied customers highlight the smooth motion of the large flywheel and the effect this has on their workout. As a review was required at short notice I had to collect my Reebok GX40s from a local fitness retailer at the full RRP. If you can avoid collection I would due to its weight being around 57kg’s when boxed. That’s almost at heavy as some treadmills! Setup

The padding on the footplates and the pulse sensors in the static handlebars are small touches that improve the user experience.
