The Jet 100 treadmill scores very highly in our recent review. Today we take a closer look at another of the Jet range, this time the Jet 100 cross trainer to see how it compares to others in its class such as the ZR8 and ZR10.

The package arrived in a suitable time and was able to move the box into my spare room with little effort for two of us. I would still recommend having this item delivered as it weighs about 60kg’s in its box.

Assembly for the Jet 100 [...]

Just to give you an idea of how good this machine is, whenever I look at a mid-range cross trainer I always think of the Reebok ZR8 as a comparison. It’s what I consider the benchmark of a quality cross trainer and this is for good reason which are noted below.

Delivery was quick and a new feature for my local department store was I got to choose my delivery slot, #win!

When the box arrived it was exactly what I was expecting after the recent review of the Reebok [...]

Sitting firmly in the premium category of cross trainers is the GX40s from Reebok. Equipped with all of the latest technical updates from Reebok how does it compare to previous versions?

As a review was required at short notice I had to collect my Reebok GX40s from a local fitness retailer at the full RRP. If you can avoid collection I would due to its weight being around 57kg’s when boxed. That’s almost at heavy as some treadmills!

I will [...]

In our opinion this cross trainer sits in the sweet spot of price vs performance. It boasts a beautiful blue LCD screen, 32 levels of resistance and a full 15” stride length. We would advise this is a perfect choice if you are thinking of buying a cross trainer for the first time.

Delivery was prompt and I gave the delivery driver a hand with the box up my driveway. I would not recommend collecting this from a department store, it comes in a large box weighing just [...]

Reebok have release the ZR10 and like many people we want to know if it really is that much better than the previous ZR8 model. The biggest feature that this new machine boats is the self-generating power system, we will see how much of a selling point this really is.

My regular retailer didn’t have any in stock so I had to order through Amazon. I don’t have Prime so had to wait a few days for it to arrive.

It is slightly lighter than the ZR8 by about 5-10 kilos [...]

Reebok have really tried to accommodate all budgets with the creation of their ZR range including the ZR8, ZR9 and ZR10. With the ZR9 firmly in the middle, how well does it perform?

Arrived one day after order, very prompt indeed. It’s the lightest of the ZR range weighing in at around 47kg’s but don’t be fooled, this is still a heavy item and we wouldn’t not recommend trying to move this on your own.

Setup was simple as Reebok kindly supply a [...]
