There are 12 different user programmes available which include the manual target, the time target, your distance targets, calories, watts control and the recovery user defined program.
• This model provides 16 different levels of tension resistance to work through, has a flywheel weight of 6kg and also a maximum user weight allowance of 120kg. There are the hand grip pulse sensors as standard, a stride length of approx. 11 inches and there are wheels built in for easy transportation around your home.
• This Jet 100S is designed to provide a smooth and seamless motion as you complete your sessions and the flywheel also helps to reduce noise as you train which is ideal when you need to work late at night.
• There is a 2 year warranty provided and the price tag tends to be in the £240 to £270 level which depends on local discount activities which of course can be double checked below.

Pros:

• The biggest attraction for this particular model is the lower price tag than one would expect.
• Very affordable for a quality piece of equipment under a recognised household brand.
• 16 resistance levels to work through and 12 user-friendly programmes via the Console to provide variety to your weekly training sessions.
• Console is easy to use and operate
• Lighter piece of equipment when compared elsewhere coming in at only 42kg

Cons:

• Assembly can be very difficult for some and takes a considerable amount of time – attention to detail is extremely important.
• Positioning of the water holder and console could be better.
• Instructions for assembly could be a lot better as it could take up to 2 hours or more to complete.
• 7 less programmes and 16 resistance levels less than the ZR8
• Stride length is 4 inches smaller than the ZR8

2, The Reebok ZR8 Electronic Cross Trainer

Quick Overview:

• Second on this list for review is the Reebok ZR8 Electronic Cross Trainer which costs approx. £100 more than the Jet 100S but comes with a heavier flywheel (3kg heavier), 19 programmes (7 more) and 32 levels of electronic resistance (16 more)
• This model is powered by mains, has the electronic resistance system and the adjustable foot plates to provide additional flexibility and comfort as you train.
• The stride length here is 15 inches, the backlit display console will give you all the feedback you need such as the speed level, time taken, distances, calories burned and your pulse rates. The number of programmes consist of 12 pre-sets, 4 target driven, the watts control and recovery to mention just a few.

• Quiet and easy to use once fully assembled for a low impact training session
• Solid and sturdy piece of fitness equipment and includes a quick and efficient delivery system

Cons:

• Can’t be folded away to provide additional living space.
• Assembly instructions could be better – many people will find the assembly very difficult to complete – a second set of hands ideally are needed and can take 2 to 3 hours to fully complete.
• Needs to be located close to a wall socket at the rear so you are limited to the location of operation.
