Cross-Trainer

[misty]

I'd really like to buy one of these exercise machines, recently gave up my gym membership and need to do some sort of exercise! I used the one at the gym loads, and enjoyed it which is a bonus, so I've been looking on the net to see what they cost.
Anyway looks like you can pick up one for under £250 which is my budget, but I've no idea what I should be looking for when buying one i.e. certain makes, are certain functions necessary, quality etc. Ideally I'd like one with some pre-programmed workouts, and a heart rate monitor. Any ideas anyone?

Nobody???? Has anyone got one at home they could recommend??

Hi Misty

You might not see this message now (I only found this thread by browsing down the topics) but I thought you might be interested in www.bsfitness.co.uk/discount_elliptical_trainers.html. They're a fitness equipment importer and also refurbish used and discontinued equipment in their own factory. I know someone who works there and can honestly say they're a reliable company. I even ended up buying a refurbished treadmill (in need of getting my lazy butt to do some exercise!) and the service I got was excellent! I'm really pleased with the treadmill too.

Hope this is of some help,

Jenny

I bought my "Elliptical X Trainer" from here

X trainer

Search for Elliptical ... ?? That's what they call them ...

Mine's great and arrived very quickly.

Note : Put it together in the room you are using it in .... mine had to be moved - damn heavy!!

DOwn side was that I had to buy a portable TV as I got so bored !!
HTH
