Comfortable and Safe: The main winning feature, we'd say, about this cross trainer is how comfortable it is to use! The design features large, highly comfortable footplates as well as the option to alternate between fixed and moving handlebars- the former helping you work your core to the max while the latter helps give you a sweat-inducing, fat burning full body workout. There is an optional chest strap attachment for this machine too, if you prefer to use it.

There are also pulse sensors on the fixed handlebars to measure the heart rate for a better idea of intensity and fitness.This adds to the general data for a better overview, which works well with those personal profiles. The biggest issue with this VIAVITO elliptical trainer appears to be in the assembly process and final build. There are many that put this together with few issues, because it isn’t that complicated with some patience and common sense. There is a fluid motion to the system, comfortable footplates and gentle approach that is kinder on the body, without reducing the impact of the cardio work.Personalisable: We love how, compared to most other ellipticals on the market, this one allows you to store up to 4 user profiles, making it ideal for home use rather than commercial use. The benefit of using user profiles is the enhanced accuracy of workouts obtained by use of this machine. James: "I really like how smooth it feels when I use this trainer, it's a lot like the one I use at gym actually. It's pretty quiet too. I'd say it's good for the price you pay, but I prefer using heavier, industrial style professional gym machines- personal preference really." You’ll get a bigger unit than most home cross-trainers. This machine is 132cm x 55cm x 170cms. It weighs in at a solid 47kgs. This is bigger and more solid than most home ellipticals, though not the same size as those you’ll find in commercial gyms (which cost from 3x to 5x more). This includes 4 for heart rate control and additional options for body fat. There is also the benefit of 4 separate user profiles, so different members of the same household can make the most of their experience.

Overall, this is a pretty good home workout machine with a strong series of workout options that will lead to the right results. Cassie: "Wow, haha, that really get's you sweating, my gosh. I'd actually buy this for my home to be honest, it's compact compared to machines I've been in public gyms, and it's pretty silent too! It's a win for me. The only thing that sort of puts me off is the complicated assembly of it, I don't think I'd be able to do that myself, nor would my husband be bothered! But generally, yeah, this seems like a really nice machine to use and I'd be more than happy to train on this." This is all achieved on a fitness machine that values the idea of low impact workouts. This is interesting for all those that are less able, or simply want to look after their joints a little better. The VIAVITO SINA Elliptical Cross Trainer is a fairly standard cross trainer in many respects, with all the typical components.Buyers are drawn to the familiarity and the promise of a gentle, low impact approach, but is this what they actually receive? It doesn’t do anything particularly special, and that low-impact approach really does seem to be the key selling point. Yet, it does do most of the basics right and can appeal to a range of users. As this is one of the less expensive models of elliptical trainers on the market, there are some downsides which befall. After prolonged use, we found that this trainer becomes slightly squeaky, which isn't much of an issue but it is an indicator of the difference in quality between this and a higher-end model of cross trainers. We also found that the calorie count can be slightly off sometimes, but we suggest you try keep your hands on the pulse sensors throughout your workout for maximum accuracy.

This cements the idea that this is for a more gentle pace and low-impact work, which may not suit all users.

Things like intervals, cardio and fat burning. You can use this machine on manual mode, set your own interval type program or even use it in recovery mode. Aesthetically Pleasing: We absolutely love the sleek, spaceship style design of this elliptical trainer. The accent red strokes reduce the monotone feel, but we love the uniformity of the overall design. This simplistic design makes it suitable for home and professional gym use.You’ll get a decent spec and a bigger machine for your money compared to many home ellipticals in this ‘mid’ price range. A bigger frame and heavier build make a big difference to lower impact machines like this – where wobbles can be a hazard.
