What is a cross trainer?
A cross trainer is one of the most popular cardio machines designed to improve fitness. By training with a cross trainer, you simulate the motion of running while your body is supported by the machine itself. This puts less strain on the joints compared to running outdoors or on a treadmill. This way, you can comfortably and efficiently work on your fitness. At Best Buy Fitness, you will find a wide range of cross trainers from various brands.
Why buy a cross trainer?
A cross trainer is ideal for building fitness. Using a cross trainer raises your heart rate and engages multiple muscle groups. So, when training on a cross trainer, you're not only doing cardio, but you're also training many muscles in your body. These include the arms, abdomen, chest, and legs. Besides being a full-body workout, training on a cross trainer is also a controlled workout with a low risk of injury. For a cardio workout that trains your entire body, a cross trainer is definitely a good option.
Losing weight with a cross trainer
Are you looking for a good way to lose weight? A cross trainer is also very good for burning fat. With a cross trainer, you can raise your heart rate relatively quickly. The more intensive the workout, the more calories you can burn during a session. Some cross trainers also offer screens where extra entertainment options can be chosen. This way, you can not only lose weight but also combine training on a cross trainer with, for example, watching TV series, listening to music, or enjoying a podcast. Losing weight doesn't have to be boring at all.

What to look for when buying a cross trainer?
If you're buying a cross trainer for the first time, you might not know what to consider. There are many different models of cross trainers available, so making a choice isn't easy. That's why we've listed the most important points for you:
- Budget: For a good cross trainer, you sometimes have to spend quite a bit of money. A cross trainer lasts a long time and can be seen as an investment in your own health. That's why Best Buy Fitness offers refurbished cross trainers, allowing you to buy a high-quality cross trainer at a great price.
- Stride length: The stride length is the distance between the two foot pedals when they are furthest apart. A short stride length creates a stepping motion, while a longer stride length more closely mimics a running motion. Your own height also influences which stride length suits you best. If you are shorter than 170 cm, we recommend a stride length of 30 or 40 cm, and if you are taller, you can better use a stride length of 40 cm or more.
- Number of programmes and resistance levels: There is a lot of variation in how many programmes and resistance levels different cross trainers offer. Multiple resistance levels are important to make your workout more challenging, and programmes make training more enjoyable and easier.
- Weight of the cross trainer: Generally, a heavier cross trainer is often better. A cross trainer that is heavier in weight is not only more stable and sturdy but also often offers more resistance levels for training. They also have a higher maximum user weight, allowing more people to use them.
- Flywheel: The flywheel is the part of the cross trainer to which the pedals are attached. The flywheel can be at the front or back of the cross trainer. When the flywheel is at the front, the workout is less strenuous on the joints, and the foot pedals are closer together. With a flywheel at the back, the workout becomes more intensive, and the design of the cross trainer is more compact. A heavier flywheel also provides more resistance options.
- Display: Many cross trainers nowadays offer more entertainment options on the display in addition to training programmes. This includes the ability to watch series or listen to music during your workout. This way, you can keep track of all your workout information while enjoying your own entertainment.
- Heart rate measurement: If you like to monitor your heart rate, this is also an option that many cross trainers offer. Some cross trainers have a direct handle that can measure heart rate, and others have a connection for a heart rate strap. Is this something that interests you? Then pay attention to this when buying a cross trainer.
