| Why use a Cross Trainer? |
| Elliptical cross training by its very nature involves both the upper and lower body which will bring more muscles into the workout, helping to elevate the heart rate and consequently aiding in the burning of more calories. |
| Cardio Vascular Fitness |
| Cardiovascular exercise is the number 1 way to improve your general health, burn body fat and increase your fitness levels. Assessing your cardiovascular goals is the first step and understanding a little about intensity levels will ensure that the time invested in your exercise sessions returns the greatest benefits, rather than a hit and miss approach. |
| Cardio for good health: This form of exercise is for those wishing to improve quality of life and general well being and is the one for you if you are not out to break any land speed records. Gentle ‘good health’ cardio training will increase your fitness level to a degree, helping you get through day-to-day tasks more easily and with more energy. |
| Cardio for weight loss: To see a significant reduction in body fat, your sessions must be a little more intense (between 60 and 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate) than that required for a good health approach. These sessions can also be performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes and should ideally be supplemented with some form of strength training. |

Great cross trainer - everything you'd need
I bought this while Amazon were selling it at a very competitive price (nearly half price), so for the money I paid it was an absolute bargain.
I had done a lot of research as it's a lot of money to pay for something online that you can't try out. My friend supplies fitness equipment and recommended York and this model, and I can understand why. Apparently the cheaper trainers are okay but not as sturdy, smooth or reliable as York, which is what lead me to buy this.
Putting it together is a bit of a chore, though it took my partner a leisurely two hours to get it all together. It looks really great and although it's quite big I imagine it is more compact than other trainers. The blue look is very nice too!!
I've put it in our conservatory where it will stay - although it has wheels it is cumbersome and heavy to move. I'd originally envisaged moving it to the lounge and use it while watching TV, but I'll have to leave it in one place!
When you're on it it works like a dream - you can use the programs if you like, I think there are about 12 in total and you can do fitness tests and all sorts, but to be honest I just get on it, set the time, put it on the easiest setting and press start. It's so easy and quick to use, and thi is such an important factor. The display doesn't light up or beep to say you've finished, nor is there a bottle holder, but at the price I paid it doesn't bother me in the slightest. You can see the display fine whether in daylight or with a light on.
The trainer does wobble a little when in use, but this may only be because I've got in on carpet rather than a had surface mat, which I may look at buying.
Another thing worth mentioning is that apart from my heavy breathing, the trainer is absolutely silent. I could never find anything which confirmed this while researching, so it's good to know.
All in all if you're looking for a solid, professional cross trainer I can't imagine you'll get one any better than this York one, and with some bargain prices out there you won't be disappointed.
Pleasantly surprised
Having read a few reviews of york equipment, I was concerned that I may have problems with the user manual. I needn't have worried - the manual was excellent and the parts well defined. A nice touch was that all the small items such as bolts and washers etc were located on a clearly numbered board - take note flat pack furniture manufacturers this beats those gigantic bags of bits you send out. One and a half hours after a very promp receipt, the thing was up and raring to go.
The only previous experience I have of home fitness kit such as this was an old Tunturi rowing machine, and that seemed to have been designed to resist nuclear explosion. The York X201 isn't quite up to that standard, howver it seems to be a well built item that's very stable in use. If I have any criticism it is that a lit display would be useful as would an audible bleep at the end of pogramme sessions. However, it would be rather churlish to emphasise these omissions on what is a very price competitive machine.
The only thing I need now is a new pair of lungs and a cure for wobbly legs, but that is not the fault of this great little cross trainer........
Great inexpensive cross-trainer
I have a Tunturi rowing machine (about 20 years old and still going strong) and a Gazelle Freestyle. With the swinging action on the latter I find it hard to get above about 70% of max heart rate. I assembled the York Anniversary X201 in about 90 minutes (packing and instructions first class). My first 10 minutes on it convinced me it will give me a good workout. It looks good. The only thing was the sense of side to side movement because it was standing on a carpet. 19mm boards under the feet cured that. Now, will it have the longevity of the Tunturi?
