Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
| This class-A rated ergometer is electronically calibrated so you can accurately measure the amount of effort you are using. It’s built with high quality components so you can have the confidence it will support you in the most demanding of workouts. The target heart rate program automatically adjusts the resistance to match your heart rate and means you can direct your workout to specific areas, whether that is burning fat or improving aerobic capacity. Choose between using the hand pulse sensors on the moving arms, enabling you to keep exercising your upper body whilst getting pulse rate feedback, and using the wireless heart rate receiver for even greater levels of heart rate accuracy. |
| York X301 Cross Trainer Features |
 | |
| Why use a Cross Trainer? |
| Elliptical cross training by its very nature involves both the upper and lower body which will bring more muscles into the workout, helping to elevate the heart rate and consequently aiding in the burning of more calories. |
| Cardio Vascular Fitness |
| Cardiovascular exercise is the number 1 way to improve your general health, burn body fat and increase your fitness levels. Assessing your cardiovascular goals is the first step and understanding a little about intensity levels will ensure that the time invested in your exercise sessions returns the greatest benefits, rather than a hit and miss approach. |
| Cardio for good health: This form of exercise is for those wishing to improve quality of life and general well being and is the one for you if you are not out to break any land speed records. Gentle ‘good health’ cardio training will increase your fitness level to a degree, helping you get through day-to-day tasks more easily and with more energy. |
| Cardio for weight loss: To see a significant reduction in body fat, your sessions must be a little more intense (between 60 and 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate) than that required for a good health approach. These sessions can also be performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes and should ideally be supplemented with some form of strength training. |

This not only LOOKS like a great piece of kit it IS a great piece of kit! The photographs do not do it justice, it is even better in the metal flesh. I work with a lot of technical and engineered equipment in my job and this product is engineered to a very high standard. I have seen some of the other reviews of similar products from York and obviously there will always be some potential problems if you happen to be unlucky - that could potentially happen with a Rolls Royce or any top of the range sophisticated item. This is one of the best pieces of equipment we have bought for a long time, it is near silent in use, easy to operate and very effective. If you have the money then buy one!

We have had the machine for a week, my daughter and I assembled it together and did a solid job, we were relieved when all the electronics just worked without any trouble, we took our time to assemble as we read the instructions and did not have any pieces left over!
We are all impressed by it's virtually silent running. The programs are many and varied and can be made harder, although currently we all mostly find the basics settings quite hard enough as we are not fit yet!
I don't find the computer panel as user friendly or intuative as I would have liked, it's operation is a bit messy and you can easily end up resetting everything rather than adding to data you have just achieved, but I guess ipods and Pc's have spoilt us all :-)I say that as 20 years in IT from DOS to windows so I know a clunky piece of programming when I use it.
However as for excercise, we all feel our muscles being toned by the useage this week and it does a good overall workout, although we all use a treadmill to get warmed up first and would recommend that as the X301 taxes your muscles hard and a good warm up is essential to avoid strain.
Only real complaint is the angle and positioning of the console, we are all fairly tall and we feel it should be higher, my husband being the tallest finds the fixed position reflects the light so he cannot read it very well, the ability to angle it differently would have been a big improvement.
However overall a good solid piece of equipment, no operational problems to report and none in future we all hope! Summary - Good Purchase, Good Quality and good value for money, would recommend.
UPDATE MACHINE FAULT- 3 weeks later and this item has developed a serious fault, the sealed magnetic wheel has stopped giving any resistance and I phoned YORK immediately on finding the fault. I was 5th in the phone queue but despite the wait I was quickly looked after when I finally got through. They are sending a whole new machine which I am to expect within the week. The only good news so far it that their customer service appears to be on the ball and excellent, however we do need the machine to work, so I will update again in due course.

Amazon delivered order promptly and we installed it in an hour time following instructions. looks well build and silent initially, very pleased, however developed fault after five months (friction control u/s). Repaired by york; motor was replaced, they replaced the broken pedal under warranty as well; so far ok. Only after another month same problem appeared again. This time no reply from york after fourteen days and still waiting! Second opinion: we are not impressed with quality after all; same problem recurring within one month time with only sparing use (three times 30 min a week). We will definitely not buy the same product again.

Owned this for a year and works okay but initial squeaks turned to a screaching sound - it is deafening. It is just short of being robust enough to make it a quality product. Read more

York Diamond X301 Cross Trainer
I give this product a 4 star rating only because there is some assembling needed before use, other than that this product is great value with straight forward instructions for use.
