X Trainer

[plateau2]

Am looking at getting one for home, can anyone recommend a brand or site?

with cardio kit i would say buy the best u can afford, even more so with bigger, stronger, guys doing weights as some of the home models wont take the abuse, even some of the commercial grades wont, i know someone not a million miles from here whos broken both a x trainer and a stepper from being a beast.

i'd check out reconditioning commercial kit if the budget will stretch to it

try this site, sure there are others too

Yep, I've done exactly that. I only had it about 12months, but when you're over a 100kg it just won't take the ware.

Defo get a commercial one. I got a standard at about 250quid.

More for the wife than me, but cheers will take the advice on board.

Taken from this Elitefts article (http://asp.elitefts.com/qa/default.asp?qid=70958&tid=112)

decide who is the biggest, baddest, animal that will come through the doors, and buy your equipment based on him. When I ordered my stuff from Jim, our conversation was like this:

Me-"Jim, I need the home model of the reverse hyper."

Jim- OK one pro model reverse hyper.

Me-I need a 2x2 rack
Jim-OK one 3x3 rack
Me- Dumbells up to 50 in 5 lb increments
Jim- Dumbells to 100 in 5 lb increments

Me- Jim, why the heavy duty upgrades?
Jim- Because your going to workout on it, right?
Me-Duhhhhhh

I love him, he's always so strong looking, powerful, determined and focused! Was a bit scared of him, when I initially met him as he looked quite intimidating and grumpy, but he's a sweetheart.
