It is designed with dual action handlebars, so the muscles in your arms can also be worked to their full potential. One additional readout the CT300 provides is something called Pulse Recovery. Put very simply, pulse recovery is the average heart rate between strenuous exercise and 2 minutes afterwards (at rest). This is supposed to give you an idea of how fit you are, but we didn’t really use this feature at all during our review of the machine. The SpaceSaver SE9i does what its name promises, with a handy space-saving design. The unit has an AutoBreeze workout fan to keep you cool when exercising, a 14in touchscreen with controls also on the unit and Google Maps tech that allows you to create a route to “run anywhere”.

The pulse sensor only works if you grab on to the handlebars. So, even if a user is working out their legs, they would need to grab on to the handlebars for a few seconds to read their current pulse rate. However, this type of pulse sensor tends to be pretty standard on cross trainers in this price range.

The combination of an elliptical trainer and an exercise bike offers users the best of both worlds. Both aspects of the machine use the same flywheel mechanism, which happens to be mounted on the front as opposed to traditionally below the seat. However, during our testing, we found that for a machine that weighs under 30kgs, having the flywheel on the front or front drive as its called, gives it extra stability.This allows you to use the machine like a stationary bike too, which adds to the appeal of this trainer. Regardless of what you might think about the mechanics of the SportsTech Cx608, it still offers a solid workout experience. It is possible to get a true full-body workout session thanks to the long-stride length and the oversized footplates which should accommodate most people. Speaking of footplates, they tend to grip your foot, which means it can also be used barefoot though we wouldn’t recommend it.
