Buyers are drawn to the familiarity and the promise of a gentle, low impact approach, but is this what they actually receive? 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 only major negative came from someone unable to use the computer – pretty standard revenge / frustration one-star ranting… it is unclear whether this was an error with their machine, or whether they were luddites with fat fingers. Lets give them the benefit of the doubt, just this once! 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.

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. Of the 20 programs advertised, 12 are pre-set. 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. 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.The VIAVITO SINA Elliptical Cross Trainer is a fairly standard cross trainer in many respects, with all the typical components. With a little more stability and a better manual, it would do an even better job of appealing to all the less confident first-timers. Therefore, the VIAVITO cross trainer is easily recommended to those that just want to train in a safe, secure way with no thrills. Overall, this is a pretty good home workout machine with a strong series of workout options that will lead to the right results. 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." Devon: "I'm more of an outdoor person when it comes to workouts actually, I'm not a fan of these gym machines. However, after using this, I'm definitely sweating as much as I do when I do my intensive outdoor regimes- phew! I quite like how it looks too, it's nice and sleek and compact. I'd personally not buy it because I'm just an outdoor-hike-jog type of guy, but I'd recommend it to my gym friends. They'd definitely like this one."

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." Where is really stands out is in the flexibility of the computer console. 12 pre-set, 8 other options, 4 separate users and the usual displays are all standard. If you supply your own heart-rate monitor, this will work with the computer console too. This cements the idea that this is for a more gentle pace and low-impact work, which may not suit all users. 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). Finally, please do note that we are unable to deliver this item to Northern Ireland and also all UK Islands. We’re sorry about this limitation, but in keeping with our high standards of service, we have as yet to find a carrier that can execute this in a consistently high-quality fashion.
