ProForm Hybrid Trainer XT Exercise Bike

Product Information

Water Bottle Holder: A water bottle holder is attached to the elliptical frame and within easy reach in both exercise modes. Don’t fancy a sweaty HIIT session today? Fear not, as the JRNY app also offers 50+ virtual courses and stunning trails that automatically adjust your speed to the terrain on-screen, so it feels like you are hiking or climbing your way across the globe.

Other important features to look out for relate to its size and stride length. If you’re tall, you will need a longer stride length and longer handles to be comfortable when using the cross trainer. Heavier users should also keep an eye out for the max user weight of a machine, especially if opting for a cheaper cross trainer, which are often less stable. Is connectivity important? Workout Apps - Wherever you are on your fitness journey, the Proform Hybrid Trainer XT can offer you a more challenging workout Computer Shelf: This machine makes it easy to multitask. Keep your tablet computer handy with the Hybrid Trainer Pro’s removable shelf. Users can also make the most of 25 different resistance levels, while ergonomic handles allow for easy adjustment of body position to put maximum emphasis on the glutes, thighs or even switch it up so that the upper body is doing the brunt of the work. Large LCD Display: An attractive screen that is easy to read, it also features priority display. The console is also adjustable so you can adjust it to any angle.

iFit Bluetooth Smart Enabled Console: TV trainers Chris and Heidi Powell have created unique workouts to help you meet your fitness goals; access these and tons of others via the iFit workout library. Users can also access vibrant workouts powered by Google Maps or the workout builder option. Hybrid trainers make it easy to increase the variety of your exercise and train different muscle groups. Better yet, hybrid devices are often cheaper than treadmills or independent ellipticals. This elliptical bike has 16 preset training programs and is ready for iFit Coach personal training.

The weight of the flywheel can be a good way to judge its overall quality – heavier flywheels should provide a smoother, more consistent resistance level. Look for over 5kg as a bare minimum, but for a mid-range machine and beyond you will definitely want it to be heavier. Also look out for how many levels of resistance are available on the machine, if it has the ability to change the incline and if there are any preset workouts, all of which will help ensure it can keep providing a testing workout as you get fitter. Despite the price, there’s no fancy built-in screen here, with Technogym encouraging users to use their own tablet in the designated holder for connected workouts. That said, the beautiful 15.6-inch console offers read-outs on time elapsed, stairs climbed, cadence and distance covered. Featuring 20 digital resistance levels and a 43 cm stride length, and benefitting from all the benefits of an elliptical and recumbent cycle, ProForm’s Hybrid Trainer Pro is the ultimate cardio machine.To promote quiet operation, ProForm engineers its hybrids with magnetic resistance instead of mechanical brakes. With the XT you can push buttons to move among 16 tension levels. The 16 levels are low intensity… best for beginners and people seeking gentle rehabilitative cross training. Better yet, this ProForm trainer comes with an even wider 17 inch stride, making it easy to achieve a deep thigh and calf burn. The more natural stride also helps to reduce discomfort and potential injury. Pros Efficient Full-Body Design: The compact size of this fitness machine is a selling point. It requires just over 5 feet x 2 feet of floor space yet can hold up to 350 pounds. One key benefit is that front-drive machines can be more compact. This makes them attractive if you have a small home, although bear in mind that there are folding rear-drive machines on the market that can be stowed away after use. It also features heart rate grip sensors, seven preset workout programs, and an LED screen that displays your workout data. Plus, it has built-in speakers and a device holder with a USB port in case you want to stream shows or classes.

Regardless of whether you go for a rear or front-drive model, the essential ingredients for any cross trainer are that it’s stable and comfortable to use – if you’re tall, don’t be tempted to go for a machine with a short stride length. You will regret it. What features should I look out for? JTX manages to cram a lot into this relatively compact cross trainer, including a reasonable 7kg, inertia-enhanced flywheel at the rear. It’s very easy to use and we were surprised at how quiet the flywheel was – it’s a great option for those who find running on a treadmill or using a rowing machine a little too noisy for a home setting. The 16-inch (41cm) stride length will feel very natural for anyone up to around 5’9”, though taller users will probably find this machine too cramped and will be better served by larger machines, which JTX also offers. Key specs – Size: 173 x 74 x 174cm (LWH); Flywheel: Front drive 11kg; Stride length: 45cm-48cm; Max user weight: 159kg Whether you suffer from workout-induced boredom or persistent joint pain, there are many reasons to invest in a compact Hybrid Trainer.Normal wear and tear (examples of normal wear parts include walking belts, drive belts, batteries, brake pads, and jumping mats).
