Reebok Cross Trainer

Product Information

Overall, this unit is bigger than many of the budget end elliptical cross trainers – though not as large as those you will find in a commercial gym. It is 63cms wide, by 144cms long and 169cms tall. This is a heavy unit (which really helps with the stability), weighing in at just over 50kgs. The ZR9 features two sets of hand grips with an inbuilt heart rate monitor. Quality of the main grips used during your workout is good, they are a hard foam texture. 32 levels of tension control The Reebok GX50 Cross Trainer provides everything you need for a superb cardiovascular workout that benefits both your upper and lower body without putting strain on your joints. The Reebok ZR8 has 32 levels of resistance as well as 12 pre-set workout programs, 4 target workouts and a user recovery mode.

Tightening Loose FastenersA nice touch that you don’t find on many budget bikes are self-levelling pedals. This saves the annoying of having to constantly move your feet around to find the pedals after you have climbed onto the bike. 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. Now, I’m a tall guy (6’3″) and I’m always worried when using other cross trainers. A lot of the time, they fail to work well for taller or heavier users, either due to the handlebar movement being too short or the weight limit too low.

The Reebok ZR8 Cross Trainer is an affordable model that is about as good as it gets at its price point. It is easy to use, provides a fluid workout, and is comfortable in all the right places. The added peace of mind of a two-year warranty will help those who are sitting on the fence to make the plunge. The ZR8 also has built-in transport wheels to help you move it from one place to another, which helps with storage.Troubleshooting a cross trainer is highly dependent on the unit itself and the issue you’re having.
