I previously have owned an exercise bike and an air walker but find that the elliptical cross trainer/bike takes up less space and is more versatile as it has a forward and reverse pedal action and you can stand up or sit down on it. Compared with other sports sellers this is about the cheapest one I have found. I am truely satisfied with it and recommend others to buy it. It is easy to move around and very quiet while in use.

When you get this first pick the main unit up and give it a big shake... if you hear rattling noises keep shaking it until you can get the loose nuts and bolts you need out of the elipse where they have made their way during shipping.
Now read the instructions, then stop and read them again. Then have someone else read them. Then both meet back later, confer briefly before throwing them into the nearest rubbish bin and getting on with it. The instructions lie. They'll tell you you need an adjustable wrench, WD40, a screwdriver and a ruler showing both imperial and metric (I have no idea why you ever would)... you don't.. you need the alan keys and mini wrenches supplied.
It also lists nuts and bolts that are already attached to the various parts of the unit leaving you searching fruitlessly through the box looking for them until you realise.
Just for a heads up, the bolts with the "acorn" nuts are for the front and back parts of the base, the ones with the flat nuts are for the pedals.
Also i found a couple of the nuts to be randomly reverse threaded (no i didn't have them upside down they are not symmetrical), which stalled progress and was minorly frustrating.
The bolt at the front underside of the saddle is so ridiculously placed that you are actually only able to rotate the nut about 3mm at a time, meaning this one tiny part actually takes about 7-10 minutes on it's own.
Finally some of the stickers lie too. On mine the left pedal was clearly marked right and vice-versa (i know they were mislabeled because on first assembly the pedals wouldn't turn all the way around).
Okay, that all said it's actually a pretty good bit of kit, it's study, trustworthy and quite cheap.... Read more ›

After a slight delay in delivery due to high demand,we received and put together the cross trainer & bike in about 20 mins. It's solid and takes up hardly any room at all (approx. 90cms x 50cms)- fitting neatly under our staircase. I've been on it a few times and, with the tension increased gradually, provides a great workout for both upper and lower body. You can stand using the cross trainer and pedals or sit down, with the handles stationary and cycle - or do a bit of both! I get home late from work and don't always feel like making the journey to the gym, so this is a perfect solution and I can watch my favourite TV progamme at the same time!

I've been using this now for about 2 months. It was really easy to put together and i did it with the minimum of hassle despite being a diy accident waiting to happen.
As the other reviewer has said it's quiet when in use. I live in a block of flats and was was worried about the noise on the downstairs but it's not an issue at all and is much quieter than other equipment i've used. the wheels make it easy to store in a corner also.
With regards to the actual use it's good, does exactly what it says on the tin and so far (touch wood) i've had no break downs or problems with the machine itself.
For the price and effectiveness i have to recommend this.

I have suprised myself as after 5 months continuous use, I am still using this virtually every other day. The good thing about this cross trainer is that it is low impact exercise so injuries are reduced. You can wheel it anywhere (outside, in front of the TV, etc), stick on some music and off you go! I am a full time mum, so after the children go to bed, I use it for about an hour when I can and I can see the results!

very happy with this machine. Suits both my wife and i as i like the stationary bike and she likes the elliptical function.
Had a problem with a bolt fastening one of the pedals when we first put it together. Customer services got back to us quickly and sent out a new bolt free of charge. Worked ever since.
Overall, very pleased. Thanks!

I read all the negative comments about this product and decided to take a chance and it was definitely the right choice. The item arrived within two days. Brilliantly packaged and trouble free. Yes the instructions were a little bit complex but hey, we're buying an exercise machine, we're not opening an envelope. So I took my time, read through the instructions, followed them to the t and yes in two hours I was up and running. Most of my time was spent making sure I tightened all the nuts and bold really tightly. I'm a girl so a bit of strength was required.
The machine is a lot sturdier than I thought. It gives you a great workout and I am very pleased with my purchase. It doesn't take up much room and the wheels are great, I wheel it in and out every day. It's been a good choice and for the price a great piece of exercise equipment. I wouldn't be put off by the negative comments. Take your time putting it together and you're ready to go.

Poor service
The item was self assembly - I didn't have a problem with that. The problem - the parts I did have were smashed/broken & a large number were missing.
