We went for a more expensive crosstrainer as we think its false economy going for a cheap one which has little resemblance to a gym model.The Ultraglide is superb.It glides along with no noise or squeeks unlike some of the cheaper crosstrainers.The stride lenth is 17 inches which is good & you can really feel it working your muscles.This really is a quality product & having used gym models we can safely say that this product easily feels just as good.Assembling the Ultraglide did look rather daunting at first but if you read the instructions & dont rush then it is very straightforward.We took our time assembling it & it took about 90 minutes.
There are loads of programs & setting to accomadate all users & to keep you motivated.This product is heavy which is good, as some of the lighter crosstrainers tend to wobble when in use.The Ultraglide is solid & has no wobble whatsoever.The flywheel is 22kg.Compare that to other models & you will see that it is much heavyer.Other models tend to be around 7kg-11kg.If you read what fitness instructers say about crosstrainers then you will see that they say that the heavyer the flywheel the smoother the workout.We are very pleased with our purchase & would reccomend it to anyone serious about keeping fit & healthy.
