I am a fitness enthusiast with my own home gym. I have been looking to buy a new cross trainer within my budget. I personally am attracted by the V Fit Fit MTE3 Magnetic Elliptical Cross Trainer and I look forward to getting it pretty soon in the next fortnight. Thanks for the article and helping me find something which is under my specified budget
I have used a really cheap cross trainer in the past few years but all the daily workouts has taken its toll and I need something that is not so cheap but better quality that can stand more pressure for my cardio workouts and for that reason I would go with Reebok Jet100 all the way, to be fair the price at Argos is not all that bad and they cover it for 2 years which is a lot more than what many others can do
Last night, my husband and I were discussing how we can lose weight and be healthier as we both gained a lot of weight since we got married last year. The gym isn’t a solution as they’re all too expensive and I don’t like to leave the house to go to the gym as it is far too long of a commute. What I like about these cross trainers is that they don’t take as much space as many workout equipment and you can save on expensive gym fees which seem to be increasing every year. We live in a small apartment so the V Fit Fit MME 1 Manual Trainer will fit the bill and they are much easier to train on than treadmills in my opinion
Thanks for writing this article on cheap cross trainers as I need the utmost lowest price as I am saving for several other items in my new house. I didn’t realise you could get the 2 in 1’s so you can get an exercise bike and the cross trainer all in one! Hey I wish I found this out before, no need to buy an additional bike now so thanks for the heads up. Based on this the Opti Magnetic 2 in 1 is the one for me
This is a great article,very exhuastive. I have the Opti Magnetic 2 in 1 Cross Trainer and Exercise Bike bought last year December and I must say it was a good buy @ the time. It’s portable and rigid however it’s not for the big guys as it maximum load is around 90 with the parts. For an average body like mine it is a good buy if budget+ efficiency is your concern and you’re not a “big” guy I recommend Opti Magnetic 2 in 1 Cross Trainer and Exercise Bike for you because it’s serving me. Another point worth noting is the assembly of the parts though it’s easy,it could be a pain in the rear if you are not techy type so you may need help to set it up for you. Thank you for sharing this article. Another one I love more among the list is the Opti Magnetic Cross Trainer it looks rugged and I would like try it out too in the future if the needs arise.
I’m looking for a cross trainer for my wife, since hers is broken and she will need one and I want to give her a surprise of buying a new one, I spent several hours looking in several places for the right one, and after I saw your cheap review with this list of cheap cross trainers, it is just in time and the list is a real time saver. I really like the V Fit Fit MME 1 Manual Magnetic Elliptical Trainer and hopefully she will like it when it arrives. Thank you for outlining and gathering these cheap options together – very helpful to me and saved a few pounds today
